Myrtle Beach 2013

Labor Day week brought another wonderful trip to Grandma Melody's!  As the kids get older, traveling gets a little easier and more fun.  It's just nice to see them being able to enjoy everything without having to be right on top of them.  We had perfect weather, lots of beach time, pool time and got out to visit Brookgreen Gardens, the boardwalk, Broadway at the beach and some parks.  We also got to visit Great Grandma Nancy who moved into her beach front condo for the week to give us a little more room.  She loved her fancy accommodations and we liked visiting to see the view from way up high, enjoy a yummy breakfast buffet and take a dip in some of the many pools, including hot tubs and lazy river.  It was an enjoyable visit for all and we look forward to next year; even though we'll have to go mid-summer since Max will be in school Labor Day week in 2014!!!
 
Max was so anxious about how many days we were there and had left I finally started a drawings so he could see all we did and how much time we had left.  I'll just pretend he drew the pictures:)
 
 





Our boy, normally scared of everything, loved the ocean and waves, even boogey boarded.  Love to see him enjoy it as much as his mom and dad do!


Aliyah spent a lot of time in her lake with Grandma Melody.








We're thankful for Grandma's great pool!




 




A surprise night (after dark) swim!










A bit out of order, but on the way home we made a stop at Aunt Ellie's.  Josh and Luke were away but we had a fun visit with Aunt Ellie and Emma before we got all the way home!



Max and I had an afternoon date, he got TWO hole in ones!!! What a blast!



One evening we headed to Broadway at the beach and they got to pick some rides to go on, they sure love rides!






I think they all enjoyed doing a lot of this over the week!

Nate and I had a fun and yummy date night at Broadway at the Beach one evening.

Afternoon viewing of Planes, it was a hit!
