Beach Time

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." Ps. 19:1


Our family had a great time at the beach last week. We didn't check e-mails, didn't answer our cell phones and didn't keep up with the latest election news. It was blissful!

One of the special things about this vacation is that my parents spent 4 days with us and Phil's youngest brother and his wife spent 2 days with us. Our girls loved sharing beach excursions with extended family.

Enjoy the photos of the Horton family on Holden beach...

My mom and AnnaGrace loved searching the beach for the perfect seashell.

Uncle Joel spent time building a sand castle!

Sarah Mei loved playing in the surf.

Michaela, an amazing big sister!! What a blessing she is to us.

Sarah Mei's contribution to sand castle building.

My dad and Sarah Mei shared some wading time in the surf. Sarah Mei is SURE my dad hung the moon!!

AnnaGrace and Sarah Mei share some play time.

AnnaGrace helped with the sandcastles in between seashell hunts!


The only thing missing from our trip was Torie. This was our first family vacation without her, and she was sorely missed. Following is a photo of our college parent day visit. Torie is riding on the equestrian team...thus the photo.
