Bbullard, you guessed right! We did indeed go to Myrtle Beach! We were rained out most of the days, but had a very nice time anyway. My father-in-law gave us a wonderful gift of a condo for the week. We so appreciate that gift. We were also blessed that my mother could join us. We were blessed with one complete day in the sun and a few stolen hours on the other days.
Tom Sawyer using the sea scope to look for little critters.
Dh and I enjoying a walk on the beach.
Lots of love notes in the sand.
A rascal who was told NOT to get wet being called out!
The girls spent most of their beach time digging moats and castles. On the days that there was too much rain to play in the sand, we enjoyed the game room and indoor pools at the resort. Daddy taught everyone how to play pool, and the kids loved playing Wii mini golf.
We also enjoyed going to two movies in the movie theater (a rare event for us!). We saw "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and "Where the Wild Things Are". We also took a day trip to Wilmington, NC.
 Everyone's favorite event was the Ripley's Aquarium. If you have never been there before, I highly recommend it. They also give a GREAT homeschool discount.  The three little ones looking at a coral reef with lots of fish!  One of the most awesome things about this aquarium was a tunnel underneath the huge tank! You are surrounded on all sides by fish, sharks, and sting rays. This sawfish was laying on the roof of the tunnel right above our heads! They even have an area where you can pet stingrays, and horseshoe crabs. Some of us were brave enough for that. All in all, this was a great trip! Blessings, Dawn |
