The week of Memorial Day we Dirks headed yet again to the beach, this time Isle of Palms in SC. This is an annual beach trip we take with my side of the family, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins too. We missed last Summer due to our being in Germany, but nothing could keep us away this year. Above is a picture of the grandparents that made it all happen and also kept the ice cream coming! Thanks for a fun week Grandma and Poppa.
We took an afternoon to visit the playground under the cooper river bridge and walk the pier.
A little self timer action on the pier.
Some playground playing.
And back at the beach house the kids enjoyed playing in the dirt under the house. Our nephew Trooper was really into it and every time he played in it he ended up looking like a chimney sweep, but a tough one.
We had a couple of yummy meals out, but they didn't come close to our own chefs culinary creations (mainly Christine, John and Peter and Megan).
Uncle Tyler made some very unique "cars-kids" sand sculptures. Maggie was Sally, Brody Lightning and Henry was Mater from the Cars movie (a big big like in this family). Henry usually asks me to play Cars with him in the morning every night before bed. It goes something like this "Mommy I want to tell you something...in the morning we play cars."
Evan enjoys a little beach snack.
The kids were fearless in the ocean, made me a little nervous, but they had a blast.
When Henry wasn't frolicking in the ocean, this was his second favorite activity. He pushed this truck all over the place.
And here is the whole kid gang in their red, white and blue!
