some things never change...

Our South Carolina family has gone through so many changes in recent years, but as we're enjoying our annual summer vacation together this week, I'm reminded that thankfully, some things never change.


Like the annual beach trip and crabbing together.


Phillip caught one!


The cousins are loving their time together.


Even the dog in this family gets out on the water.


Tubing.  (I think that's Caroline and cousin Jasmine tubing in this picture)


She's in heaven on the water.


And on the jet ski.


Sweet mother-daughter.


This is what every mother of young children needs...

Another thing that never changes is the annual family wiffleball game on the beach, 

where the rules always change but the competitiveness doesn't.

This year we welcomed Caroline to the game, and she made a hit!


While the wiffleball game was in full swing, I hung out with this beach bum.


Surfs up!




Not sure about this, Mom.


Now this is what I like, Aunt Sharon.


Yay!  Julius scored a run!

Ahh, what a week!


More later!  See ya!
