While we were in Myrtle Beach, we went to the beach twice. Both kids were super excited. John wanted to dig a big hole and Gillian wanted to search for shells.

Last Tuesday, we took the kids to the beach. It was just Daddy, Granddad, John, Gillian and I. We got there early and the John immediately started building a sandcastle.
