We’ve been back for a few weeks, but I definitely wanted to share some images of our family vacation to Myrtle Beach this year.  This was our first “official” vacation for almost 4 years, so needless to say we were so excited to get out of Indiana for a while. Amy’s parents decided to come along with us for the week too.  It was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations I’ve ever had. We had a condo right on the beach and the weather was amazing.  Pretty much everyday started by going to the pool with Ella, then the beach, then to the pool again, and then out for the evening to see the sights.  Amy’s dad and I also got the opportunity to ride in a helicopter and take a small tour of the coastline.  Here are just some of the pictures we took while we were there.

*Some of them are taken on my old Canon AE-1 Film camera. I still LOVE shooting film whenever I can.

There is something so refreshing when it comes to kids(and dogs I guess).  They don’t have the usual weight of life on their shoulders. Bills, responsibilities, and cares all seem to fly out the window.  Their main concern, is the now.  Having fun right now, living life right now, getting excited about the smallest things, right now.  It’s a good reminder.
