Myrtle Beach

In August I took the girls to visit my family. Jason had to work, so it felt like a lot of work to me, but we had a good time. The girls all loved the pool. Caroline didn't think much of it, but she enjoyed the water. She was focused on practicing her standing up.

 

Clara and her cousin Sarah had a lot of fun together. Clara even spent her first night away from home, sleeping at Sarah's house.

We went to the local amusement park, where we stayed for hours and hours. The weather wasn't too hot/humid (wow!), and Savannah was just tall enough to ride lots of the rides. She liked the swings, the best. Clara was too tall to ride them, so she watched with me. She kept saying, "Savannah looks so proud of herself!" She did think it was so fun. Her cousin Tate was so sweet to her. He's 5, but he went around with her and held her hand. So gentlemanly.

We spent time at my sister's house on the waterway, too, which we love. The water is freshwater, and so fun. Savannah became a little daredevil and loved being tossed up in the air by her aunt Ashley. 

Clara has ridden jet skis before, but this time my dad was more adventurous with her and actually got them knocked off a few times. Apparently she thought he was doing it on purpose. She was having a fun time, but then finally asked if he'd stop throwing them off. I'm surprised she liked it so much! I love the view from the house. Isn't it beautiful? Notice the rider-less jet ski?
