The tradition began with one child in the group. We have been productive, or should I say "reproductive," over these past eight years haven't we?
We spend less time at night circled around around board games and more time working or reading. This year we found ourselves cracking the laptops open instead of beer and waking up at 7:30 instead of 9:00 a.m. I guess we have grown older and dare I say wiser over the past eight years. It was, after all, the first year without sunburns. In fact, we all like to huddle under the umbrella in hopes of keeping the wrinkles at bay too.
Gone are the days of photographing couples. Those days have been replaced with countless shots of our children.
Year II couple shot - the last one. . .
What is true is that these wonderful people have grown to be a part of our family. Our kids look forward to the beach each year and so do I. I hope we find ourselves trekking to Holden Beach for many more years to come.
Our second year. . . (couldn't find a picture of year #1)
