Marchant Family Vacation 2013

COUSINS!!!

 

Really not sure how to sum up this vacation in words!  It was so FUN, FUNNY and again, so much FUN!  My ENTIRE family spent a week at Holden Beach, NC --2 grandparents, 8 parents and 8 grandchildren!  We have done this trip several times but for some reason, this year sticks out as one of the best.  The kids all had such a great time together-all 8 of them, all under 6 years of age.  The youngest is Wesley but only by one day.  His cousin, Graeme, is one day older!  The oldest is Logan who turned 7 this August. His brother, Hayden, Princess Clare, and cousin Preston are all born in 2008, then Luke and Ian came along in 2010 --that makes 8 grandchildren!  It also makes for "new friends" since none of us live in the same town.  There was never a dull moment, always someone to play with and we all got along fabulously! 

 

You may recall in an earlier post that we weren't sure that Wesley really would enjoy the beach.  Think goodness for cousins and following the pack.  It wasn't but a few minutes and he was right in the thick of things.  He hasn't looked back and is now a true beach baby!

Graeme and Wesley--one day apart in age!
