We spent the morning doing school work and cleaning up around the condo. Then after a break in the rain, we headed out to the beach for a while. Scott took the kids out first while I finished on the computer. This first pic is the view from our patio as Scott and Tyler walked to the water to swim.
This picture is quite amazing in and of itself. Notice the kids in the center... some distance away. They played like that the entire time we were on the beach. We have NEVER allowed Sammy to be that far away while on the beach... we just couldn't trust that she wouldn't run into the water. But not anymore! She has come so far in the few years we have visited Myrtle Beach! Love that we finally made it to this point.
After the beach, we had a late lunch at McDonalds (the kids were thrilled) and then headed to Target to do a little shopping. Here is a pic of Tyler and Daddy being silly!
After Target, Scott and I got cleaned up for a date night! It was so fun to go to Ruth's Chris to talk through our time here on vacation and plans for when we get home. I sure love that man! It was a fabulous meal and great service... Scott said actually uttered "Wow!" four times while eating.
The kids weren't disappointed with their evening plans either. Uncle Roger and Aunt Gretchen babysat and their adventure included a trip up to their condo, several rounds of Uno, and building the coolest cardboard box home ever! It was complete with a door (with handle), a pitched roof and a covered porch. It was so fun to hear their giggles as they explained what they had done. I'm so glad that they have people like Uncle Roger and Aunt Gretchen in their lives that love having fun with them!
