We took our first family vacation this past week. We stayed at my parents' condo in North Myrtle Beach. My parents and Meghan stayed there too and Jeff's parents stayed at a place just up the road. It was a lot of family togetherness but it was nice having the extra helping hands too! Aly loved the beach, ocean and swimming pool. Her schedule flew out the window but she really adapted well. She loved having all of the people around to entertain. She is going through quite an independent stage and doesn't like anyone trying to do things for her! That made running after her at the beach and the pool quite an exercise. Next year should be interesting with her being 25 months and Payton being 9 months. Maybe I won't be pregnant that time around but you never know...
First time in the ocean - no fear!
She got into a poolside nap routine, not sure how Little Village will be able to keep that up.
Climbing up and down the pool steps was her favorite thing to do at the pool. She had no problem with going under and getting her face wet.
We don't cook on vacation so going out every night is our only option! Aly held up pretty well but there were some nights that it got to be a bit much for her. A family friend was down there too and she offered to watch Aly one night and we took her up on it so we could go to a little bit nicer restaurant.
Aly's favorite spot in the condo - by the door playing with the beach shoes.
Last day at the beach:(
Pool time!
Last night. It's a Poth tradition to have your picture taken by this tree at a local restaurant.
Ice cream! There is an ice cream shop right at the entrance to complex, how convenient!
Aly really loves corn on the cob! She will point with her mouth hanging open while we eat it. If that doesn't get her point across then she'll start yelling!

Aly had her first bite of candy tonight - YPP of course! She loved it, now I need to get her addicted to DDP and she will be my true Mini Me.
Aly got a Cozy Coupe for her B-Day. She loves the ones at school so as soon as she saw it she went right to it, opened the door and got in. She's not too great at driving yet, but we're working on it.
