Beach 2011




We took a family trip with Josh's family to Holden Beach this year. We stayed at the gated west end of the beach at a house called Eden West. The house was very nice with 5 bedrooms... the living room had plenty of space to seat our family of 20, plus each bedroom had it's own bathroom.  Everyone had a great time. Josh went fishing with his brothers. Eli absolutely LOVED the sand and water.. plus he was the youngest family member by about 9 years and as you can imagine was spoiled rotten by everyone. Isaac had fun boogie boarding, catching minnows and crabs and playing with his three cousins that are his age. I enjoyed sitting in the sun with sand on my toes, reading my book by the ocean. We cooked a few nights; one of the best nights was when we grilled the fish the guys caught and had a fresh shrimp boil. The kids and adults alike were fans of Sunset Slush (an Italian ice shop) on the beach. Everyone got along pretty well to be caged in a house together for a week... plus there were plenty of hands for Eli. Josh and I were able to sleep in a few mornings and we even took a midnight beach stroll through the tidal pools. We are very blessed to be a part of a wonderful, Christian family where love abounds!
