Our House: Hawksnest in Garden City - great house for 16+ people :)
After a short 2 hour drive from Charleston, we arrived in Garden City, SC just south of Myrtle Beach for a week at the beach with my parents, brothers and their families! Our house was awesome - it was 1 back from the beach, ginormous, on the inlet/bay thing and had a pool! It had 6 bedrooms, 6 1/2 bathrooms, 2 fridges, an ice cube maker, great front and back porches, a great pool, floating dock, huge driveway, an elevator (a highlight of the week for Megan) and an outside shower (my favorite)!
The waves were huge and warm the first day and got smaller as the week wore on - we had fun swimming up there and then back at the pool, as well as in the inlet. I loved that Jack loved the breakers and had tons of fun in the water, that Megan loved being past the breakers and swimming around and that Kylie learned to go under the breakers and have fun! It was a great time!
We had yummy dinners, great desserts, fun times with the xBox and game nights, miniature golf, seeing Jack and Bonnie (my Dad's cousins), flying a kite, coloring with chalk, the guys smoking cigars, Megan and Mary Kate swimming in the pool every morning at 7am, a donut run by Abby, Kylie and Grammy and Megan getting her ears pierced! Oh, and Kylie asked Jesus into her heart while we were there on July 22nd :) It was a great week!

Right before they went swimming in the inlet
Heather and kiddos (and Dan) went swimming in the back. As there was no ladder back onto the dock, I opted to stay on the dock and haul kids back up!
Jack under a rock
or a bean bag :) Either way, it's funny.
We celebrated Max's 3rd birthday early there! He got lots of great presents and was so cute about opening them! Jack had a remote control car that Max got to try in Florida and kept saying, "That's cool. That's cool"...so we bought him his very own!
Singing him Happy Birthday
Blowing out the candles!
Miniature Golfing
Kylie would putt the first one, then dribble it into the hole ala field hockey style...I was kinda proud :)
