Girl's Beach Weekend

    Recently I took a "girl's weekend" trip to the beach with my friend Crystal and her two daughters Lillie Kate and Olivia. We planned to go down to Myrtle Beach and hang out, but Crystal also wanted to get some portraits made on the beach of her with her girls. I have never had the opportunity to take portraits at the beach so I was all for it. Plus, I'm always up for a little beach vacation!
   We decided to take pictures in the late afternoon. Mom and daughters looked pretty in their white dresses as we attempted to wade through shallow water to get to a quiet area of sand dunes. Then suddenly Lillie Kate went down and started screaming that something had her foot. She had stepped on a fishing hook and it went into the side of her big toe. Not only that, but the hook was attached to a wire that was embedded so deep in the sand we couldn't get her free! Someone had to bring us scissors to cut the wire. We were all horrified and afraid to try to pull it out of her toe. Thank goodness we left that up to the emergency room doctor because the hook was really big. Lillie Kate was great - she stayed brave even when she heard they had to give her a shot in the toe to numb it.
   With all of the craziness that afternoon the pictures had to wait till the next day - which of course was cloudy. We still got some great pictures and the girls had a fun time. Crystal is an awesome Mom who wants to give her girls all the love, fun and adventure that she possibly can. What more could two little girls ask for?
