We take miniature golf very seriously

Carter and Luke discovered last year that Myrtle Beach is quite the mecca for miniature golf courses.  Weeks before our trip, they were making plans for miniature golf courses.  Anytime we would drive anywhere in Myrtle Beach, they discussed all of the courses we passed.

Luke knew he wanted to go to Treasure Island.  He completed the book just in time for the beach.

Everyone has a good time...only when they were playing well...everyone is a bit too competitive.  Luke announcing his score very loudly and with his fingers in the air, if it was a good score; no announcement if it was bad.

Carrie did get a hole in one.  As did Luke and Jeremy...but do not mention that to Carter.  Jeremy, Carter and Luke even played in the rain one night.

Brayden and Great-Grandpa were the spectators (sometimes from the car).

At the beach, in the water

Carter and Luke would jump waves.

 

Carter goes under, Luke goes over the waves

Luke spent most of his time on his boogie board, always trying to go out far to "catch the good waves".  Carter liked to catch a few too.

And Brayden was in on the action.

Boys can play for hours. 

With a break for some frozen lemonade.

A little bit of the beach

While I sort through the many pictures (perhaps too many), here are some highlights from our trip.

We visited Great-Grandpa in Myrtle Beach, SC.

4th of July 2012

A good time with friends in the pool.

Watched nearby fireworks from the house and did our own.  Some friends gave us some fireworks...lets just say we were surprised when we first set them off, may have dashed into the garage and then put the fireworks out further from the house. 

We also had some nice little fireworks as well.  Carter wanted to light them all this year.





Brayden decided in his bed would be the best place to avoid the fireworks.

Check that off

We have a list of things we would like to do this summer.

On that list...make cotton candy.  We made it and ate it.
