Myrtle Beach

We took our semi-annual beach trip in April to Myrtle Beach. It is about an 8 hr drive that took us 12 hours because of our lovely children. We found a great hotel with amazing rates right on the beach.

We enjoyed some time on the beach.



Nate did a little surfing, but the waves were little and the water was FREEZING. We did enjoy a lot of boogie boarding. Nate was able to go to the beach during nap time and early in the mornings.
We spent one afternoon at the aquarium. We said to Micah ,"We're going to see animals." He responded, "Like doggies?" He was a little disappointed that there wouldn't be and dogs there, but I think he still enjoyed himself.






It was free ice cream day at Ben and Jerry's. Micah got his very own.

He ate most of the paper on the cone because he wouldn't let us take his cone to get it off. He was very protective of his ice cream.



We took Micah bowling for the first time. He wanted to hold the ball all by himself but wasn't strong enough. He got pretty frustrated with that and only bowled 3 frames. Nate and I played 3 games total and he beat me each time. One game he won by only 1 point. He was the score keeper and threw away the sheet before I could double check. Pretty suspicious if you ask me.



It was pretty windy so we enjoyed the pools at our hotel. Both Micah and Beau had fun swimming. I didn't get any pics of Beau in the water, but you can imagine what it would look like if I had. I enjoyed the hot tub.


All and all, we had a wonderful vacation.
