Fourth of July weekend

A nice low key weekend (in between the thunderstorms).

Fishing with some friends and playing at the farm.

Fireworks at home (some we picked up when in South Carolina).

Mrytle Beach 2011 - Fun in the Sun

The boys all did wonderful on the trip.  They really loved swimming in the ocean and the pool, made friends, had fun at dinner and all activities...we were tired!  Luke declared it, "The BEST!"

Did not like sunscreen or too much sand in their eyes.

Made up games on the beach...made circles in the sand, land the shovel in certain circles for points.

I am sure we will be back.

Myrtle Beach 2011 - Night Activities

Carter and Luke love a good round of Putt-Putt.  Well Myrtle Beach has plenty of place to go.

Carter would concentrate on each putt.  Luke would concentrate when he felt like it...shouting out his score when it was good, with fingers in the air...when a bad score not much said from him.  Everyone competitive.

Carter and Luke got hole-in-ones.

Of course we had to hit up the go-kart racing.  Luke was one of the first ones out of the gate (his first time being big enough to drive by himself)...he looked like a pro but he did take someone out on the track, he said they just were in his way.  Carter grinned the entire race, cautiously taking the turns.  Jeremy was trying to beat both of them.

Myrtle Beach 2011 - Dinner

As on most of our vacations, going out for dinner is a must.
In Myrtle Beach there are just so many options.
We did a Japanese Steakhouse (Carter and Luke want this to become a place we regularly visit).

Mexican

Dinner Show.  The new Pirates Voyage.  So much food that no could finish.  Before dinner activities with singing, dancing and tattoos.

Myrtle Beach 2011 - at the Pool

Where we stay had a large pool, lazy river and games for the kids.  We spent most mornings at the beach and a couple of hours in the afternoon at the pool.

Fun in the pool.

 

Fun with games.  Carter participating in the dancing (i.e. Electric Slide and more)
