Our Beach Vacation

For Christmas/Birthdays, my parents took our families to Myrtle Beach for a week. Andy was only able to stay for the long weekend due to his internship/new job situation. Since he took off 3 weeks while Maggie was in ICU, he was no longer able to take a vacation. The three days he was with us were especially wonderful. We still had a good time spending time with family, playing in the pool, and playing on the beach.

Each morning we would put up the canopy and Maggie would play in the sand. Here she is with her Uncle Luke.

Maggie was quite an explorer of the water. She would go deeper and deeper while the waves broke at her knees.

After living with Brendan for a week, everyone was pointing out airplanes, including Maggie.

Maggie's writing didn't end on paper. She took advantage of the sand as well.

What a beautiful smile! Pure happiness!

Sitting out by the ocean at dusk was such a peaceful time.
