Beach vacation

We took a trip to Sunset Beach, NC the last week of July. It was a fun week of sun and sand with Ladd's family. Here's Cutie Pie building a sand castle:

Sweetie and Cutie Pie together:

Popcorn and our new friend...Sweetie saw him building a sand castle and walked up to him, introduced herself and they began playing together. He's also 9yrs old and gets mistaken for being older all the time, just like Sweetie. They had hours of fun together!

After the sand castle they moved onto burying each other. It was fun at first, then the sand began to bother the girls. Luckily our new friend was staying right off the beach so we got to use their outdoor shower. They even fed us lunch so we would stay longer and play! Sweetie and our new friend traded email addresses and they're already sent messages back and forth!

Cutie Pie didn't want anything to do with the ocean, on our last day there we finally got her into the water and she loved it!

We took a day trip to Charleston, SC. Here we are by the water:

It was a hot and humid day. We did some exploring but everyone got super hot. We saw this fountain and had to take a closer look...here they are mostly still dry:

It wasn't long until all the girls were completely soaked (luckily we were prepared with an extra change of clothes for everyone). They had a ton of fun!

Trying to gather everyone to leave. What I find funny about this picture is how just at a glance you can see their personalities: Sweetie isn't happy about leaving but she cooperates. Cutie Pie follows her lead and then tries to talk Popcorn into doing the same. Popcorn just likes to sit and argue or flat out ignore you!

Haha that last picture is funny and oh so telling. I'm glad they made a friend and a new pen pal!
