We had a great week at the beach this last week. We had a family reunion at Myrtle Beach, SC. My dad rented a fabulous beach house with 12 rooms and three floors! It was so comfortable for everyone and we were right on the beach! My sisters' families came and at one point, I think we had 30 or so people there. Saturday afternoon we settled in and got acquainted. Tracy's family missed their flight due to car trouble but were able to come in on Sunday. Carl went back to Raliegh to pick them up and they joined us that evening. We had a family tree that we all put our apple with our info on. Monday evening we had family home evening and played a trivia game about my Dad. It was a great way for everyone to get to learn more about him and his life. Each family took turns preparing the evening meal for everyone. Our turn was Tuesday so most of our day was spent shopping and preparing but then we got to enjoy the rest of the week. We each contributed to the food for breakfast and lunch. We went out to dinner for seafood on Wednesday and celebrated Erin's 23rd Birthday. We enjoyed the beach all week with great weather. Really! It was nice everyday! All in all it was a very memorable week for all of us. Four of our six kids families were there. Ben and Shanae were waiting for a baby and Kim and her family made a trip earlier that limited their travel plans for the summer. We missed them but talked to them often throughout the week.
