Beachin' it

We went to the beach for spring break this year. It began Holy Saturday, so we were blessed to wake Easter morning to this glorious sunrise. Bright eyed and bushy tailed, I tell ya!

A family with kids in school with each of ours was vacationing nearby, so we got to play with them all week. That was awesome to mix it up and keep some of the sibling annoyance at bay. And they kept each other entertained so the moms and dads could relax and enjoy the week too!

Here we are after our fine Easter brunch at Eggs Up Grill. Yum!

So most of the week was spent playing sports on the beach: football, soccer, catch, anything with a ball.

And when it was too windy for balls, we ate sand! You ate what? We ate sand! No really, we ran around with our towels as superhero capes.

When we made the reservation, we were concerned that April might be a tad chilly. But this early summer we're having kept the beaches nice and cozy all week, except for one day. But we were prepared for that.

We spent the morning at Brookgreen Gardens exploring their low country zoo. We got to see lots of cool birds, foxes, otters and a big ol' gator!

what a great week!

Oh, and this is what happens when you eat too many Peep s'mores. KA-RAZY!
