Beach Baby, Beach Baby!

The Moose Herd really enjoyed our week-long vacation

at Cherry Grove Beach, SC.

We played a lot in the surf and the sand,

and had some wonderful seafood!

Here, Hannah Grace is not quite sure she likes this HOT place.

But, she soon came to love the breeze and the ocean.

Zachary having an awesome time riding the waves

as he did over, and over, and over, and ov...

One thing about all this fun and excitement is that

it makes you so tired!

As you'll see, we had a lot of great beach naps!!!

Zachary reminding Uncle Eric how important
"jo naeck" really is!
(Sorry...inside joke from when Uncle E broke his neck while wrestling.
Not funny, I know, but we can certainly look back NOW and laugh!)



Oh yeah, this was something else Zachary loved doing
over, and over, and over, and...well, you understand.



If Zachary was on the beach, be sure he knew
EXACTLY where to find Miss Chrissy!



He has a BIG TIME crush on her!
(Cousin Frank says he could do worse!!!)




One of the 500 times Zach got Chrissy and sister Kelly
to help him build sand castles.
I think it was mostly so he could keep tabs on her!




See???
Beach napping.

Now Hannah Grace is coming around!

This random lady (a.k.a. "Hot Debbie")

kept stealing our beach baby!

(Thanks, Debbie, for giving us a hand...we spent

A LOT of time in the ocean with Zachary)

Alex and his sister Anna.

(Notice Chrissy in the background???)

Dining at Crab Catchers

Later that same night,

Granddad, Grandma, and the Moose's

enjoyed an exciting round of golf!

Granddad won, of course.

He was on a roll from getting a hole-in-one

on the 18th hole at the Surf Club,

and then another one on the 1st hole here at

The Black Pearl.

(Not really the same thing, I guess!)

But thanks to a 18th Hole hole-in-one,

Daddy brought it within one stroke!

More napping...

Zachary and Mommy building a sand "mountain"

Well, thanks a lot, Granddad!

Can anyone else guess what

Zach's supposed to pee doing?

Happy Independance Day!

We had a SUPER time this year!!!

We can't wait for next year....
