So we got back in town late Friday night from our annual beach trip. We all had a great time (minus our multiple visits to the ER HA!!--see previous post) and are already looking forward to our trip next year. Believe it or not, but this was actually my 23rd year vacationing at
Surfside beach!
As we were driving home from the beach, I asked the kids to name their ten most favorite things about the beach this year. Each of them eagerly started shouting out what they LOVED most about our trip!Here's their completed list...
1. Hanging out on the beach and jumpin' the waves !
2. Building sandcastles and sand turtles in the sand.
3. Getting ice cream from the Yum Yum Shop!
4. Hanging out on the Garden City Pier.
5. Catching sand crabs with Daddy.
6. Getting to hang out with Daddy ALL week!!!!
7. CORN HOLE!

Growing up, my brothers, sisters and I always counted down the days until our summer beach vacation. We looked forward to it ALL year. I love that now I am able to take my own family on the same vacation I so enjoyed as a child. I loved seeing my kids get so excited and anticipate our family beach trip this year.Surfside beach is such a special place for me and now it's becoming a place where my kids are making their own life-long memories.
Wow - very fun!!!
