What you've all been waiting for....

2008 Family Beach Vacation Pictures!!! We headed off to Garden City, South Carolina on June 21, 2008 for our family beach vacation. We had a wonderful time and couldn't have asked for better weather! It was gorgeous! We were able to hang out with Will's best friend, Jackson, one day and Jackson's parents, Allison and Brian, and his grandparents. We found out how small a world it really is when Jackson's grandparents walked through the door....my mom and her brother had grown up with Jackson's grandfather! So...we couldn't decide who had more fun - the little kids or the big kids! :) They had so much fun catching up with each other! We also got to spend a day with Rick's cousin, Scott, and his family and had fun catching up with them. We had our traditional dinner at Nance's but didn't get any pictures there this year due to a really bad thunderstorm! :( First year in forever that I haven't gotten pictures taken at the inlet. The boys were able to get a little bit of fishing in although they didn't catch anything this year. Will was given a fishing rod by my grandparents (we made fun of it b/c it was a pink barbie rod - couldn't complain though b/c they got it for 25 cents at a yard sale and Will and Emma loved it) and he loved using this and getting to fish with Rick and Ben! Rick, Ben and my dad did their annual golf outing - unfortunately Kent wasn't able to make it b/c of his broken hand .... hopefully next year! Everyone had a blast boogie boarding and playing in the ocean and just hanging out with each other on the beach! We had a few walks down to the inlet which were very nice and lots of fun! Will and the "boys" also made some time to throw the baseball on the beach and Will loved this - he was so excited to be hanging out and playing ball with his daddy, Kent, and Josh! If I do say so myself (and Rick) I think we might have a future "allstar" on our hands - he's got quite the form! :) Sadly we headed back home on the 28th of June and came back to the real world and will be ready to do it all over again next year! Looking forward to it already!
