Beach week 2012

We just got back from our annual "Clendenin" Family beach week. I went down with the children for a few days with my parents, before the whole crew came down. There are too many stories to tell and keep this post at a decent length, so I am just going to add a few pictures. ha We had a great time, even though I feel as though I need a vacation after this vacation! I think Suzanne said it best, "Vacation with small kids is just a relocation!" Ceilidh got pretty homesick mid-week, but I think the waves at the beach and the fun in the pool helped relieve some of her sadness. wink After we left Saturday, we drove to Oak Island and spent a few hours with friends at our annual Labor Day get together. This morning was rough, when Andrew had to go back to work after a week and a half of fun! At least Thanksgiving isn't too far away. wink




Grappy and Ceilidh on the "stinky" waterway, aka: intracoastal waterway! ha

I love how you can see them in the background!



Susanna's last trip as a single woman!




Phoenix is a funny little guy! He is also a ladies man (wink), and can eat more than any human being I have ever met! ha


Chariots of Fire, anyone? ha


So sweet


Maybe my favorite picture of the week!











Caitlin was the putt putt champion this year!

One of my favs!

Best friends.... most days! ha


We all tie dyed tee-shirts for the family pictures.... all the grandchildren minus Kenan, Judson, and "Flower"




Ceilidh says " I could go to sleep in front of this" every time she sees this picture.


Love love love!

The original seven

Ceilidh's photography

Graeme and Ceilidh got to play putt putt for the first time this year!

She really got the hang of it by the 9th hole or so.


Hole in one!!!!


Clearly, since the 18th hole takes your ball; it is also supposed to take your putter. At least Graeme thought so. HA

Southport, NC for the afternoon

Kids kids kids.... and we are missing four from this picture! (Actually 6 missing if you include the soon to be here Clark twins!)


Ceilidh and Dakota

Wow... I have no idea why this picture won't shrink! HA C and G are laughing their heads off at how big it is! At least it is of a hunky man! wink


Graeme's hole in one!!!!

I REALLY love Southport!

Jane looks thrilled, but Logan; not so much! ha

Dakota squashing hugging Ceilidh!

I think it's so neat that you guys organize this each year...makes me jealous that I don't have a big family. Great pictures, love you!

We were standing at that exact spot in Southport about 2 weeks ago!
