June-Beach Vacation

We headed out for the annual "McLure Beach Week" in June at the Isle of Palms. As usual, we all had a great time.

The house we stay in is huge. Each couple has their own bedroom and bathroom...which is the only way to go with sooooo many people!

The house also has its own pool and the beach is right across the street.

One hat is not enough for the Jilly Bean

The beach was a hit again for all three. Zack needed to warm up to the ocean, but once he warmed up, he was good to go.

We took John and Sue's boat out one the ocean one day

I had never seen a tug boat, so I was amazed at all this tug boat was pulling. John said it was the stuff they use the dredge the ocean floor with.

DJZ went to First Baptist Concord's summer program called Discovery Kids. This is the same church they will go to this September when they start preschool.

The hillside finally landscaped

I sent this photo to my mom and sisters and asked them if anything looked familiar. These are recital outfits of ours when we were little. Rick did not think it was very funny. I told him to relax..... they are TWO years old!!

We started off Father's Day Weekend by going to The Tennessee Aquarium on Saturday
