Justin and Katelynn got to swing together! It's so fun now that Justin can join in some!
Justin didn't stop laughing. He loved swinging!
I let Jonathan talk me into getting rid of the double stroller. Katelynn doesn't like riding in the stroller, and for the rare two minutes she does- this works fine. And really, she hung out in the stroller with him for two minutes before she was ready to walk again.
He LOVES drinking from cups like this so he dropped his spoon and tried to just drink the food!
And of course he ended up dumping it all out and playing in it. 
Here's the messy boy at the end of the food fun. Can you guess where he went straight from his highchair??
Justin had to nap on the beach during the day since we spent such long hours (including naptime) out on the beach, and his lucky sister just got to skip naps while we were there. There was just too much fun to be had!
These are Katelynn's footprints in the sand. I meant to get a family "feet" picture but it never happened.
The kids loved playing in the sand. I think it was even more fun than the water to them. Justin loved squeezing the sand between his fingers and of course eating it. If we would have let him stay on the sand and play the entire day, I think he would have filled up on sand!
Second on Katelynn's list of favorites at the beach is running wild. She loved just running around the sand and running into the water and letting the waves "chase" her out of it.
When the tide went out, it made this perfect little kiddie pools for Justin to play in! Katelynn joined in on the fun sometimes too!
This was Justin's first encounter with a big wave. He only cried the first time it got him and then he became a pro....
... because as you can see, the waves got him more than once!
Daddy took the kids out in the big waves far out a lot during the day. Justin never did get too excited about them, but Katelynn had a blast!
Our second morning there, I looked out our balcony of the hotel to find there were literally 20-30 dolphins right against the shore line. I grabbed my camera and zoomed in as close as I could. One dolphin did me a favor and started hamming it up for the camera showing us how high he could jump.
They were super close to the people in the water and the shore. If you look, the bottom of this picture is right up at the shore.
The hotel we stayed in also had 15 different pools including a really cool kiddie pool and a lazy river. We didn't spend much time in them, but even when we did, Katelynn preferred the big pool where she could wear her floaties and really swim.
Hopefully this isn't too x-rated for anyone, but I thought it was too cute not to post. The kids would come in each evening and be covered from head to toe in sand. We went straight to the tub every night!
I had lots of good pictures of this- the kids were tackling daddy on the hotel bed and having a blast. I got some really cute pictures of Justin laughing, but it looks like only this one of both of them uploaded. They were both sitting on daddy in this picture.
Each night we got dressed and went out to dinner. I had tons of cute beachy clothes for the kids, but they barely got to wear them since they were in swimming suits most of the time.
One night Katelynn even sported her PJ's to dinner. (Remember that purse she got for going potty all day? It never left her side the entire trip!)
Justin drove us around Myrtle Beach. (Ha,ha. No- really, we were just in the parking garage and decided the steering wheel was the perfect seat for him to get a picture.)
Here are my tired babies cuddling up during storytime after a busy day on the water.
