We spent our spring break in the Carolinas. Essentially we were there to bury Bill's dad and have a memorial service with his family and childhood friend. However, Apri'sl family goes skiing every year, so she thought it would be great for the whole family to fly up a few days before the burial/memorial and spend some time together in the snow. Snow clothes were bought, condos and flights booked. And the day before we were set to leave the condo company called to let us know the slopes would be closing due to no snow. What?? Haha! We weren't prepared.
Myrtle beach was booked as an alternate destination. As it turns out, it was one of father in-laws favorite spots and he took the kids there often when they were little. It was perfect.
Kids were WAY pumped to arrive!
That beach shop behind us? Don't go, Bill bought everything in there. Sorry.
Whole crew
silly kids
Day 2 was beach day! No one in the history of ever loves the beach as much as my child!
Sunrise on the beach. Fear not, Meme took the picture. I have not changed. The only sunrises I've ever seen are the ones I stayed up all night for;-)
Thank you, Jesus! I love the beach!
Not even the gingerbread man could catch her...
So after the beach it became apparent L was having an eye problem. Quick visit to minor emergency got her diagnosed with pink eye. But my little trooper still came out to the Big Crab for dinner. And we bought her a little toy crab for her trouble;)
Outside the "Big Crab"
Putt putt crew. April is taking the picture. Meme, L and I hit the condo. We can't hang with these party animals;-)
Well, my eyes are dreary so I will finish part 2, our time with our fabulous NC family and a beautiful service for my father in law, later.
