This year marks our 21st year of making the trek to Holden Beach, North Carolina, with my family and some of our closest family friends. We've done it since I was young and it has become something we look so forward to every year. This year was especially neat because it was Will's first time to experience all 23 of us (24 with the addition of Amber's little BOY who will arrive in October!) in two beach houses! There is always some sort of chaos going on, especially with all the little ones. Unfortunately, Bear couldn't make the trip this year and we've missed having him.
This year we also started a new tradition of having professional beach pictures made. This pic was my favorite of all of us, and the photographer got some really good shots of the little girls. Below are some other great ones he got. I love our growing family!
