13 at Myrtle Beach

That was the number of people who convened at Myrtle Beach for a terrific 5 day vacation. John's sisters, mother, nephews, brother-in-law's sister's family (catch all of that?) were all there for the fun. We ate, played cards, stood in knee deep ocean water (that's the kind sharks like), played catch phrase, shopped, did some zip lining (Lily did),  took photos, played corn hole, read some books, played sand soccer, played tennis (the guys did), and just hung out. Now that's what I call a break from every day things like laundry and dusting!
