the perfect summer

I love autumn and I thought I was ready for it. Last week Isaac had football practice on a chilly evening. I pictured myself on Tuesday and Thursday evenings with my cup of hot chocolate in hand and I was starting to get excited for cooler weather. And then Richie brought me one of our camping chairs that we had in our car so I could sit down for a while. And when I opened up the chair..................

A bunch of sand trickled to the ground, reminding me of our trip to Myrtle Beach a few weeks back.....

So I realized maybe I wasn't ready for autumn just yet, but oh well. This summer was amazing. I kept tellling Richie that I don't remember a summer when I have been in the sun and enjoyed the outdoors more than this summer. Summer was definitely good to us this year. And we ended it with a bang by taking a trip to Myrtle Beach with some great friends from our Provo days.

There were 16 of us in a rental house that we stayed at for 5 days. We. had. a. blast. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to 90 degree weather, swimsuits and tan lines (which I may add are fading rather quickly...)

So here is 5 days in pictures in no particular order (because I still haven't figured out blogger...) Thank you to Amy and Diana for taking MOST of these pictures...I am so bad about getting my camera out to "capture the moments!"

I sure hope this trip becomes a yearly tradition. We already miss you friends!

And now that I've blogged about this trip, bring on autumn!
