Heading back home

We spent the last week in Myrtle Beach.  It was a very last minute decision but I'm glad we went.  We met up with my parents and my brother and his family.  This was the first time we had all been on vacation together.  My brother and I haven't been on vacation together in over 18 years.  We all had a great time.  Ava loves the beach and was a big fan of the Lazy River at our resort.  She had her first ice cream cone (chocolate & vanilla twist) courtesy of Grandma and Papa.  We went to the aquarium with Tim, Tracy and the girls, met everyone at miniature golf (where Ava chased everyone's golf balls), had a picnic, went to Margaritaville, Barefoot Landing, Broadway at the Beach, and spent some time at the pool and on the beach.  Needless to say, we kept the little one busy!  She even slept through the night once while we were there!  We found that not only does Ava love ice cream but she is also quite fond of the taste of sand. The only way to keep the sand out of her mouth was to give her a toy for each hand.   Ava had a wonderful time.  She had a huge smile on her face the entire week.
