Holden Beach Trip - July 2003
Tuesday January 24, 2006
We spent Brandon's birthday week at the beach with Christie's family again
this year. Brandon had a GREAT time playing with his Nanny, Pop-Pop, Aunt
Caryn, Uncle Ryan and cousin Carter. We also got to visit with Great
Pop-Pop, Aunt Bonnie, Maggie, Shane, Bobby, Holly, Uncle Ben & Victoria.

- Brandon's Birthday!- We enjoyed
our very best beach day, went out to dinner and then had cake & ice
cream to celebrate Brandon's 2nd birthday!
|
- The 4th of July!- We spent another
GREAT day on the beach and then enjoyed Ryan's famous cooking.
We topped the night off with Bryan & Ryan's first annual fireworks
display!!!
|
- Our last day...- We enjoyed one more
day of fun in the sun, grilled out for dinner and went out for ice
cream!
|
Brandon had a blast playing with his Daddy &
Pop-Pop on the beach. He LOVED digging in the sand and splashing in the
ocean. Baby Carter got his first taste of the beach too!
