Ok, so here's the last picture dump post from the beach :) The pictures don't do our trip justice; it was so much fun to be with my little family of 4, as well as my parents, BOTH sisters, bro-in-law, and adorable nephew. Such wonderful memories!
 |
| Ms. Sugar Lips, thanks to Poppy's donut run |
 |
| Anderson's first donut! |
 |
| Every day, Abby would run for the sand toys as soon as we got to the beach. I loved all of her creations! (Which got more spectacular as the week went on, when N&P bought her a pink "love bucket" :) |
 |
| Nate loves flying kites with Poppy! It's become quite the tradition each year now. |
 |
| Watching Nate's kite! |
 |
| My fave thing to do as a kid was building drip castles. Thank goodness my girl does too! |
 |
| When I told Abby to go pee in the ocean, I thought she'd go in a little deeper.... |
 |
| Anderson was pretty pleased with his new pool! |
 |
| Sandcastle #1 with Uncle Mike |
 |
| Not sure what's going on here. |
 |
| Twinsies in their crab outfits |
 |
| Photobomber Nate |
 |
| Chillin' in the hammock |
 |
| Ready to eat dinner at the Dead Dog Saloon! |
 |
| The Statons! |
 |
| Love that gleam in his eye |
 |
| Nanny always makes sure we walk the pier after eating in Murrell's Inlet (Dead Dog Saloon is in the background) |

| Can anyone say "slap-happy!?" |
 |
| Morning rocket balloons with Poppy |
 |
| Sandcastle #2 with Uncle Mike |
 |
| Our set-up most days |
 |
| Maybe we'll get a bigger pool next year!? |
 |
| Legos seem to follow us wherever we go |
 |
| Golf cart rides after dinner are the best! |
 |
| Fun at the Aquarium! |
 |
| Love my little model |
 |
| Surprisingly, Greg was the only one who touched the stingrays & horseshoe crabs |
 |
| We all thought these sea dragons were super cool! |
 |
| My picture doesn't do it justice, but it was awesome watching the jellyfish light up |
 |
| Daddy's two little pals |
 |
| This was swimming above us at one point. Freaky!! |
 |
| She got a little scared of the sharks & needed to be held :) |
 |
| Pretty coral! |
 |
| Abby was mesmerized by the "live mermaid show" (which was pretty lame but we didn't tell her that) |
 |
| Abby's favorite was the "gold" mermaid - she's a little starstruck here |
 |
| Silliness before heading down to the beach our last morning |
 |
| My surfer dude! |
 |
| It was pretty chilly our last day, so we decided to snuggle (& catnap!) together |
 |
| So much for our sunny picnic lunch |
 |
| Sandcastle #3, this one with Daddy! |
 |
| Man-made tidal pool, thanks to Greg |
 |
| I caught Nate doing some ninja moves with the water blaster, ha! |
 |
| Nate could not believe I let him watch a movie during naptime! He watched NinjaGo 4 days in a row |
 |
| Silly faces at Hanser House |
 |
| By far, my favorite pic of the whole week! We took an impromptu walk on the beach after dinner and the kids had a blast! It was nice to spend a little alone time with them before shipping them off to "Camp Nanny & Poppy" |
 |
| SO EXCITED that the ice cream truck turned down our street!! |
 |
| Oh how I adore those sticky faces :) |
|
|
So there ya have it, folks. This wraps up my posts for the Annual Gibbs Beach Trip 2013. I love that this beach house holds so many fond childhood memories for me, and now my kids are forming their own great memories and traditions!
