Brassells and the Beach!

Grayson had her first experience with the beach!! She ate the sand in large clumps (I'm assuming she thought it was sugar) and then she was lying face down in the sand, then rolling around in it. I'm not sure what inspired this, but it was funny! Wouldnt it be nice if we were all as joyful as Madison in this picture? She just ran and ran...chasing seagulls, running from the water, and just running and screaming for no reason!

Even though we are pasty and white, the beach was fun! Those houses behind us were where we stayed for a fraction of the price of a hotel, and we had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms! What a blessing!

All the girls on a log...little John avoids pictures at all costs, so you wont see him here!

The Brassell family needed a little break...life has been so stressful over the last couple of months....moving, school, work (and no work)..it has been exhausting.

We took a trip to Holden Beach which is 40 miles north of Myrtle Beach, and it was the first time we had ever been there. We were worried because spring break is usually so busy at the beach, but someone told us about this particular beach. Private, empty, cheap, clean...what more could you ask for? It was great!
