The Real White House: July 2007

Our annual trip to Myrtle Beach was quite fun this year! Last year, we had to move our trip to the end of July, because Cami was due right around our Myrtle Beach week - Cami was only 6 weeks old when we went last year. She fell asleep the moment we walked outside - EVERY time.

This year, wow. What a difference. Cami started walking easily a week before we left, so she was all over the place! EXCEPT for places with water. When you're staying on the beach

with a pool between the condo and the beach, that means Cami was unhappy quite a bit. We arrived on Sunday, June 17th and she cried - not wimpered - cried, the ENTIRE time she was in or around water if she thought she was going in until Thursday morning. Man, those four days were so frustrating!!!

Thursday morning she was okay. She didn't enjoy being in the water or the sand, but tolerated it. :) I did take her out into the ocean a couple times, and each time (even the time we got completely dunked!) she fell sound asleep in my arms while we were jumping in the waves. She's so funny. She LOVED being inside the condo though and was a hoot to say the least!

Alaina, on the other hand, was a fish! She was in the pool and the ocean the whole trip. She just LOVED playing in the water and did such a great job in both waters. She really enjoyed playing in the waves with Adam (she was FEARLESS!) and making sandcastles or burying her and Daddy. It was really fun watching her at the pool and beach. She was really helpful each morning, taking down her things for the day. On the days that Adam played golf, she really helped me out with Cami and making sure we got everything down to the beach and pool for the day.

Here are some more pictures of the girls and our trip. Those girls sure do love each other... it's pretty cool to see how in to each other they are.
