Ripley Aquarium - Myrtle Beach part 3

Our second day there, it was raining, so we headed to the Aquarium.

The kids couldn't wait.

I love this picture, more goofy faces.

all the boys loved the sharks the most.

I won't bore you with any more aquarium pictures.

of course, Tatum found the treasure!

still raining when we walked out. 

Tatum and Ollie enjoying the fountain.

However, by the time we made it back to our hotel, the sun had come out.

we enjoyed some ice cream.

strawberry

chocolate

mint chocolate chip

rainbow sherbert

Then, we headed to the arcade where the kids ended up with lots of prizes ( plastic animals and dinosaurs) which made their night and Petey became really good at skee ball!

goofs!

Then, the kids ended up swimming at our hotel pool till about midnight. It was full that night too with lots of kids and they were having lots of fun!

I am also linking up with Gussy Sews today, the prompt was "a day in my life" and since we won't have a regular schedule till school starts, I thought I would link up a vacation day.

Giant Crab - Myrtle Beach part 2

 the troop ready to eat!

After being at the beach all day, we were really hungry. Van got to choose the place where we ate the first night.

He choose The Giant Crab. ( could it be because of the huge crab on top the building?)

The food was really yummy, and the kids were happy because they had lots of kid friendly food too!

yes, my kids like of take goofy pictures ... I think that comes from me shoving a camera in their face their entire lives!

welcome to the beach, Myrtle Beach part 1

all three boys had seen the beach before, but this was Tatum's first time to the beach.

The kids had a blast!

Petey karate chopped all the waves.

Van liked to run in and run out again.

Ollie liked to sit right at the edge and let the water ash over him.

Tatum liked picking up shells and playing in the sand, however she did like to hang around the water's edge to.

stay tuned for more from Myrtle Beach...

I'm back!!!!

July was very busy and it just flew by!

With school starting, August may very well be the same thing.

I will work very heard to stay up to date.

Some of the things that you have missed have included a much needed vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which I promise to share, and a wedding that Tatum and Petey were lucky enough to be the flower girl and the ring barer. Right now I would like to share the wedding.

Josh's cousin Colt was married at a beautiful garden July 22. 

It was a beautiful wedding, although it may have been on the hottest day of the year!

here is my beautiful girl.

her beautiful hair was curled, but fell flat before she even got there.

and here is my handsome son, Petey

such a cutie!

They both did a wonderful job!

I am so proud of them!

vacation pictures and stories to come...

taking a little break

without meaning to, I am taking a little break.

I will be back in full swing by the end of the month.

We are heading to South Carolina next week for a vacation.

I will be back soon and I will share all that we have been up too, and I'll be linking back up to all the link ups.

 Hope everyone is doing well. I might try to sneak a post or two in this week, we'll see.
Oh, and I am thinking that I need a new look too ... not sure yet what I want to do ... any suggestions?
