Holden Beach

 I don't know who has been more excited for this vacation, the girls, or Scott?  We all had a great time though.  The girls have a wonderful time playing with all their Marker cousins.  The weather was perfect.  I realize now though that I didn't capture nearly as many photos as I had thought or hoped.
 Ella and Haley were very proud of their castle:

 Jane loved it when Grandpa took her out for a spin:

 The last day we had too many uneaten ice cream cones.  Jane was more than happy to help us out:

 Kate and Caitlyn.  They had too much fun staying in a house with their cousins!

 The girls were really into catching crabs and fish in the tide pools.  Each bucket held a different type of creature.

 At night the older kids and Dads went fishing in the marsh.  The girls enjoyed going to see what they caught.

 On the pier with Alle, their oldest cousin.

 Savannah's cool catch.

 Uncle Thomas caught a shark and all the kids got to pet it.

 Ella and Kate also got to try out go carting.  They were excited but very serious!

 Ella was very proud of herself because she won the doughnut eating contest for her group at the family birthday party.

 Another part of the festivities that night.

  

Here is a final picture of almost everyone.  We had a great time and are so thankful to Grandma and Grandpa Marker for planning the vacation!
