Beachin' It!

Our annual trek to Cherry Grove this year brought lots of smiles and a new adventure...parasailing. We had a blast with the family and wonderful moments have now turned into happy memories. I found the following at my favorite store up in Calabash. It suits me to a tee...being that I'm the beach bum of the crowd.
The beach..the pull of the beach beckons me...I dig my bare toes in the warm sand...the salt breeze ruffles my hair...scrubs me clean...quiets my heart...until the rhythm of the waves..matches the sound of my own heart...winding down...calming...soothing...simple breathing...in and out..like the tides.

Boogie boarding is a favorite thing to do for us....the waves were huge on Sunday and Monday, and a little too rough Tuesday.


The pile....

Headed out...

Me and my EMPTY red cup!!

Dining at our favorite little shack, 'Duffy Street Seafood Shack'. LOVE this place!

Nana and her babies at the putt putt course!



Carolina Opry night! What a blast!

And last, but certainly not least....our adventure on water and in air...parasailing. It's a perfect wonder I didn't puke or pass out in the air. It ended up being great fun!!

Take off...can you tell it's our first time by the expressions!! hahahaha!

Up, up.....

And away! Oh my Gosh.....breathe, breathe, breathe!!!

The dip....

The landing...

THE FUN!!!

Summer Fun!

So, summer is flying by much quicker than I would like for it to! We've been to Marion and Church Beach Camp, and we're getting ready to go to Cherry Grove with Mom, Greg, Amy, and the kids. Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks!
All four of the above pictures are from around Mom and Dad's house. Home Sweet Home!

A family picnic at Linville. OOOhhh, that mountain water is cold, but so refreshing. Had to play in the river a little bit!

Hope everybody had a great 4th! Lake fun, YMCA celebration, and a cook-out filled our weekend!

My sweet bathing beauties....ready for the water...any kind of water...lake, pool, OCEAN!!
