Summer Fun ~ Memories

Alden, Steve, Hannah and I just got back from a few days at Myrtle Beach. What fun we had relaxing and enjoying time together. Ahhhhhh yes, we are definitely beach people. :) We loved the waves crashing, the tide going in and out, sitting in the beach chairs reading and napping, boggie boarding, throwing the football, people watching, the breeze blowing in our faces. We rode bikes, Alden and Hannah fished, shopped, played cards, watched beautiful sunsets, and enjoyed some good eating.

We visited with Cecil and Louise (Alden's aunt and uncle) on the way down to the beach and visited with Ken, Lynne, Kenneth and Alden (Alden's brother and wife) on the way back home. It's always GREAT to be with family.

We're thankful.

Isn't this so cute? A "snack mobile" right on the beach!

Dinner on the porch while the sun is setting........lovely.

Hee hee......while visiting Cecil and Louise....

Alden is put to the task of "checking the ailing gas pump"

(He loved doing it......and yes, figured it out, of course!)

Before heading to the beach...........we enjoyed an evening with Phill and Christy.

Christy's parents were in town and we loved getting to see them!

The Smiths and Allisons

These next two pictures are a little walk down memory lane.....................

Chapel at Bolling AFB.......

We were at Bolling today getting new military ID cards.....

and had to ride by "our wedding" chapel....special.

Yes, the "blue minivan".....ADCPSH has been retired.

So many onlookers through these last 16 years wondered what the initials stood for....

was it a "DC push"....nope....hmmmmm.......simply....

Alden, Dorian, Courtney, Phillip, Steve and Hannah.

What great memories were had in this "Smith" minivan.

Happy Summer to you dear friends and to YOUR memories being made. :)
