Myrtle Beach!

This post is going to be a long one so grab a snack and let's roll!

This picture is actually from when my Mom was here but I hadn't downloaded the pics from the camera yet. Kelly is eating strawberries and cream, er, rather just the cream! He did do an impressive fake out when Bobby told him to eat the strawberry though. He put it up to his lips and took it away SUPERFAST and then said "Mmmmm!" And the Academy Award goes to...


In the car on the way to Myrtle Beach! Just reading a magazine...


We rented a condo right on the beach with 3 other couples and their kids. A total of five kids ages 9, 7, 4, 22 months, and 18 months! It was awesome! So much fun!
Checking out the balcony with Dad.

14th floor! Only 2 more floors above us! We're right above the lazy river.

On Friday, May 27th I woke up to this:

He's the best!!

Then we took Kellan to the aquarium. Here he is meeting a shark friend.


The Ripley's Aquarium is pretty nice! And I'm not just saying that because the military discount made it INSANELY cheap! Nope not at all! They do have this cool hallway where the tank is all around it. It's pretty neat to see the fish all around!

Kellan of course really only cared about the ledge and being able to scoot/walk on it.


When we came back to the condo look what was still there!

The next say was the Dirty Myrtle Mud Run, which was pretty much the reason we went. The guys did awesome - finished second place! They won a $100 giftcard to a Brazilian steakhouse that was one of the best places I have eaten at ever, EVER. Seriously, that good!

Here is Bobby, John, Aaron, and Bryce just before the start.


First mud pit!

About to cross the finish line!


And the after picture. Not nearly as dirty as the last time!



The shower set up was also not as well designed as last time...




Kellan and Lillian hugging! Probably comforting each other "It's ok, we'll be in A/C soon!"


Sidney, Lillian and Kellan playing Ring Around the Rosie back at the condo.


Hanging out on the balcony after a swim...


On our way to the Brazilian steakhouse - Rioz
Not pregnant, just a bad shirt! Sometimes we love shirts and they don't love us back!

The next day we went to the gator park!
Lillian, Kellan and Alicia holding hands. Total accident that both the kids were wearing flag tees, but it is super cute!


In the mister at the gator park!


We got to catch feeding time! It was so cool but when those jaws snapped shut, yikes! It sounded like a car door slamming.

Yes, this would be Kellan dipping his foot into the swamp with the huge turtle. Sure, that turtle won't think his foot looks like a tender little morsel. No need to do anything about it Dad!!


The next day it was time to leave. But we did carve out some beach time before the car ride back home...




This trip was a WONDERFUL success!

First, it looks like you had an awesome trip! Great pictures too.

Second, what a nice hubby you have! Although, the whole time I was reading this I was totally thinking of the Friends episode when Joey uses sticks to spell out "PLEH" so that people in the airplanes can read it correctly. Hahaha. Ok, glad Bobby knew how to write out correctly. ;)
