Myrtle Beach

We're back from our mini vacation this past weekend. We had great flights and great weather once we got there. It was so nice to get away for the weekend and not have any responsibilities for the kids! Everything about the weekend was wonderful. Here are some highlights:

When we got there Thursday I talked Michael into walking down to the ocean. It was the first time he'd seen the Atlantic, so I had to get a picture to document it! We took Kyle's dog, Sandy, with us.

The guys were in the ocean off and on during the weekend.

They decided they needed to get some boogie boards to ride the waves. They finally got some nice waves to ride on Sunday.


The wedding was Saturday evening. The picture is a little fuzzy because we were looking into the sun as it was setting. Kyle & Taylor's wedding site was amazing and the weather turned out to be gorgeous.

Michael was a groomsman in the wedding. I couldn't get any pictures of him during the ceremony because of the people sitting in front of me, but I got someone to take our picture after the ceremony.

Here's our ride for the weekend!

And our home for the weekend. Kyle's parents rented two beach houses across the street from each other where we all stayed. We were in the "kids" house. It was so nice, we were a block away from the beach. All we did was round the corner and we were at the ocean.

And the "adult" or "parents" house!

I learned a couple things over the weekend:

1. Sand in your camera will affect the way some pictures turn out.

2. If you can't reach your lower back to apply sunscreen, you're going to have a problem... you're going to burn!

I'm think the sand in my camera affected the way the lens opened. I didn't notice it while we were at the beach and in the sun. I was kind of bummed, but what can I do?

It sounds like the kids had a great time with Grandma Ringman while we were gone. I hope she had as good a time with them as we did while we were away.
