Myrtle Beach - The Rest of the Pics

All in all, we had a GREAT trip to the beach. The kids were good travelers, our condo was really nice, everyone loves the beach, we ate well, played well, and all in all sent Myrtle Beach off with a smile :)  Here are my last bunch of shots from the trip...

This is what Lucas did for hours...HOURS...at the beach. Have someone help him jump over waves. When one adult was tired, he would just go get another one to join him for more. He slept very well on this trip :)

Myrtle Beach - Mini Golf

We have been going to the exact same miniature golf course in Myrtle Beach for probably 20 years. It's not that there aren't any others, this one is just THE BEST. It was super fun for me to get to take my kids there this year and watch them have a good time just as I did when I was a kid. My kids had such fun that we took them back for round 2 the following night.

Lucas, of course loved it. And was actually great at it. The group behind us asked to play through when then saw we had a three year old, but guess which three year old never took more than 4 strokes to get it in? And guess which group was waiting on the other group to finish the entire round?!?!  Uhuh.

Shea's favorite part was picking everyone's balls out of the cup at the end of each hole. Although, you will see below my favorite picture from when Phil helped her hit her first ball towards the end of the night :)

We love you, Treasure Island Golf!

First shot of the night...love the undies.

Had to have the PURPLE ball. (Boo, says Mom).

Game face.

What exactly are we doing here?!?

The "real" golfers tone down their games to play with the grunts.

"Ball!" "BALL!"  BAAAALLLLLL!!!!"

Getting tired, mom.

Wait for it.....

MONEY SHOT!

Myrtle Beach - Days 2 and 3

More beach pics!

Not actually at the beach (or a very good picture), but Shea was posing for the camera with these dish gloves, and it was hilarious.

Lucas found a baby frog. I could NOT believe my scaredy-kid actually held it!

Teamwork to build a hole!

This was Shea all day, every day on the beach. Eating sand covered snacks and walking around.

Out for dinner!

My manly men.

See...Mimi actually DID come to the beach.

Love my Daddy!

One more goofy pose for the camera!

Myrtle Beach Day 1

Well, I was finally able to get my photos off the new camera card I bought (technology...uggg!). So, the next few posts will be from our family beach trip to South Carolina last month. My family (the Bresslers) have been going to the same resort in Myrtle Beach since I was a little kid. Since my parents are leaving the East Coast to join us here in Texas (woohoo!), we decided one more trip with MY kids was definitely in order.

After checking in to our awesome condo, we immediately headed down to the beach for an evening stroll. This was Shea's first experience of sand, and, as I expected from my dirt loving girl, she thought it was amazing. Lucas had been asking every day for weeks when we were getting to the beach, so I just ignored the fact that he was wearing regular clothes and let him go to town. He got drenched and was wearing the biggest smile the entire time. Totally worth it.

While the kids played, I opened up the lens on my camera and started shooting the amazing sky in the background. I didn't even have to edit most of these shots. So. Beautiful.
