The Beach 2010

There is something about the beach. Summer just isn't complete without it! We usually wait until after school is back in session (perk of homeschooling!) so that the crowds are low. This year it was so low that it was like our own private beach and pools. That was so nice! Last year we planned to go to the Gulf this year. When the oil spill happened, we decided to change plans. We have always loved Savannah, Georgia and had not been there in years. It was kind of nostalgic going back!

Myles was very content to sit and play.

They played hard all day and slept hard at night!

We did lots of jumping pictures. I chose not to post the ones of me. :>)

Looks like he might have a mouth full of sand!

River Street in Savannah is so much fun. The candy shops are the best!

Malachi's birthday was while we were at the beach. He lucked up and got a free piece of grape bubblegum from the gumball machine. He was so proud showing us his mouth.

You can't leave the candy shop without buying some fudge!

Opening birthday presents...

Showing us he is now 4!

We took him on a dolphin cruise for his birthday. He loved when the boat went fast and the water sprayed everywhere.

McKenzie prefers her feet to be on solid ground. She did not enjoy her ride!

I had wondered if we would really see any dolphin. We actually saw a ton of them!

Where we stayed on the island we saw barges coming into port and lots of shrimp boats.

We ate at a really cool restaurant one night. I hate seafood, but the atmosphere was great and the guys enjoyed the food!

This was taken on the pier right after we found Mariah (thus the tears.) She was lost for what seemed like an eternity when you are out over the ocean at night. It was only seconds, but it was horrifying!
This shows how empty the place we stayed was. The pools were always empty.

Ready to go home.

The pier is much better in the daytime!

The End!
