Spring Break!

Well, it's official! We can finally say that we have been on both coasts, swam (ok, maybe just waded) in both oceans, and have been clear across the country!

I took the girls to Myrtle Beach on March 25th during spring break, and they had the time of their short lives!!! Kenny wasn't able to come due to work, but we still had a great time! It didn't take the girls long before they were swimming in the 20 degree water, and then the best part was that in order to warm up (because it was only in the 50s on the beach that day) the girls got the bright idea to roll around in the sand. It makes sense- the sand is hot, the girls are freezing, why not? Of course after that we had sand caked clothes and girls:) We (Andrea and her 2 girls and us) made them strip down before they got into the van. When I was home the next day I had to lay their clothes out on the sidewalk to hose off! They had so much fun though, and I forgot how much I missed seeing an ocean! I think that we will always have to live close to one- they are so relaxing and calming. My favorite part of the trip was when the girls were standing right at the egde of the ocean and screaming towards it- You couldn't hear a thing!!!!! ;)

It amazes me how kids will do things that are so uncomfortable (being cold) and have a FANTASTIC time doing. That looks so fun. I miss being next to the beach too.
