Vacation!

Our first beach vacation was a huge success =) We had an amazing time and watching our little miracles discover the sand, waves, etc. was so much fun. Our travel days were long and exhausting but worth it. Back in the days when we were struggling with IF we use to plan beach vacations as an escape after failed cycles...now it is a celebration of all that our family has become. My heart is so full!

We managed to see and do everything we wanted to in Myrtle Beach. Our outings included a pirate cruise, walk on the boardwalk, ride the skywheel and the aquarium.  But the majority of our trip was spent at the beach and the water parks at our resort. The kids both enjoyed playing in the sand and jumping the waves each morning for a few hours but once sand had reached places it shouldn't we would head in for lunch and rest time. Then the afternoon/evenings were spent at the water parks. 

This is in their first five minutes of feeling sand and salt water for the first time =)

Love at first site

For K too

Nothing like wiggling your toes in the sand

Ice cream!

Cuddles with Daddy on the skywheel

Only picture from vacation with all of us looking the same way and smiling (for the most part)

Headed in from playing in the waves

All ready for their pirate cruise

Ready for the beach - come on Mom & Dad!

Doesn't it look like he's adjusting the horns on his hat?

If only the kids would have smiled for this picture...

The look of pure joy!

C really took to swimming - these little life vests are great!

The water slides were a big hit and this is the first time K went by herself

C loved going down over and over again but he would cover his face like this at the bottom...and then beg to go again and again

There was so much brother/sister love on this trip 

Headed out for our last morning on the beach

What a beautiful morning!

Every morning we built a hole for them to play in and they loved it
