From the beach to the lake

My in-laws gave us a free weekend at Myrtle Beach this past weekend. The only catch, a timeshare presentation. We do not like those at all, but it was well worth it. The hotel upgraded us to one of their suites which turned out to be a one bedroom condo. Full kitchen, washer/dryer, the works. I bought Chris and Ethan tickets for Father's Day to go to a magic show on Friday night. Ethan is still trying to do magic tricks. They loved it, especially the time spent together. Saturday was the presentation, so we stayed at the hotel in the morning and played at the pool. Emerson fell asleep in the van (my plan worked!!), so we were able to transfer her into the stroller for most of the presentation. Then it was off to dinner and mini golf. What is a trip to the beach without mini golf? That is Ethan's thoughts anyway! Sunday was spent at the pool/beach and then off to Broadway. We let the kids run through the little water area and then decided to try out Magi Quest. At first we didn't know what we were doing, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. It is basically a treasure hunt. We did some brief shopping on Monday because my work-a-holic husband wanted to get back to work by lunch. We really had a nice time getting away with just the four of us and are very thankful to Grandpa and Grandma!


We met our great friends, Jason and Sherry for dinner this evening in Elizabethtown. Then we went to their house at White Lake to hang out. They have three of the nicest kids I have ever met. Very polite and attentive to our little ones even though they are a good bit older. They took us for a ride on their boat, which was Emerson's first. Ethan wanted to go fast, fast, fast! There are pictures in the album as well as a few videos of Monkey Joe's from yesterday. Happy 4th!
