Vacation - Part 1

We just returned yesterday from a wonderful trip to Myrtle Beach. We went there last year to and had such a wonderful time. We didn't decide, until just a few months ago, that we were going to go back. We had already been to San Diego and NYC this year and my sister's baby was due. (You already know she had him, before we left, but we really didn't want to miss his birth.) Thankfully is all worked out and we went on another family vacation to the beach. We did so much and took so many pictures(700 to be exact) that this post is going to be done in many parts. Day one we of course went to the beach right away. Carys immediately started picking up shells and puttin them in her bucket and Broderick went running for the waves. It was kind of an overcast day, but still great.
Day two we went to Family Kingdom after dinner. Broderick talked about this place so much last year after we got home that we had to go back. It is just a little amusement park with like carnival rides. It is really neat because it is right across from the beach.
Also on day 2, my pictures are out of order here, we went to the House of Blues. This is my favorite thing we do. On Sunday morning they have a Gospel Brunch. It is so fun! There are 3 guys that sing and play instruments and we just sit at our table and eat until we can't eat any more. I could sit and listen to these guys sing all day, songs like I'll Fly Away. We all know I could sit here and eat all day too!!!
Day three - we were at the beach again. (We went to the beach everyday buy one. (The tropical Storm gave us a little trouble the last 2 days. I will post more about that later.) Carys wanted to be buried in the sand this day, with her baby. I thought she would sit here for like 2 minutes and then want up. Oh No! She sat in this hole for like 25 minutes. It was so funny! She loved being buried.
We bought Broderick a boogey board this year before we went. He did awesome!!! A couple waves really took him under, but he would just get right back up and do it again. Rob and I took turns doing it also. It was fun!

Really glad you guys had another great vacation and returned home safely. Love the pics, especially the one with Broderick boogie-boarding with "Coach" in the background. This one belongs on the cover of SI!
