Rain Dance




It's raining at the beach today. Usually I think there is nothing worse than a rainy day at the beach. However, not my little Ella. She thought the rain was absolutely fantastic! She begged to go outside and play in the rain. How can you argue with that? So we stripped her down and she spent all morning laughing, clapping, squealing and dancing in the rain. Ahhh to be such an innocent and free little spirit. Thank you Ella for reminding us all to stop and dance in the rain!

Putt Putt for the Fun of It!




When I was a little girl one of my favorite things to do when we went to the beach was play putt putt with my dad. I think we have played almost every Putt Putt golf course in Myrtle Beach! Some of my favorite memories are putting through the clown's mouth or trying to get the ball to go through the wind mill without it being knocked out of the way. I also remember playing with my brother when he was old enough at the beach. Today that tradition continued because my dad, brother and I took Ethan for his first beach putt putt adventure. He had the time of his life! It was so much fun watching him try to knock the ball in the hole. If he didn't get very close he would pick the ball up and put it at the edge of the hole and knock it in. We all of coursed cheered for him and he thought he was the best golfer in the world! When we got home Jared asked him who won, and he proudly said, "I did Dad!" I hope Ethan will always remember days like today with the same fondness that I do.
