Myrtle Beach

Porter relaxing on the bed at the hotel

Danner's favorite part of the trip was talking on the hotel phone.

Sawyer loved. loved. loved. Alligator Adventure.

Posing with the birds

Family photos never turn out that great.... be still everyone!!

Sawyer riding the gator.

You probably can't tell but there is a camel, zebra, and donkey all in that shed.

Danner loved the bathtub at that place. Not sure why it is any better than ours at home....but oh well.

Friday afternoon I had the twin club thrift sale so I couldn't ride with Jesse to Myrtle Beach. I had to pack up 3 kids, clean the house for a Saturday morning house showing, drop off the dogs, and drive to Myrtle Beach with the kids by myself. Fabulous!! We ended up leaving around 8 pm. I knew the kids wouldn't sleep in the car because they had a late nap. They were great for the hour and a half that it took to get there.

We arrived around 9:30 pm and Jesse thought it would be a fabulous idea to take them to the indoor waterpark that night. So off to the waterpark we went. It was downstairs in the lobby of the hotel so it wasn't like we had to venture too far. They loved it. I put them in their water wings and off they went. Sawyer went down the waterslides with Jesse and had so much fun. Danner went down once against her will and hated it. So she stuck to the lazy river and splash pad. Porter took a ride down the slide with Jesse and thought it was fun. After an hour we went back up to the room....which was actually 3 bedrooms. I attempted to put the kids to bed and eventually had to lay down with Danner and Sawyer until they fell asleep. It was about 11:30 when that finally happened.  I woke up to someone (Danner) poking me in the face at 5:30 am. So a good nights sleep did NOT happen that night. Saturday morning we took them to Alligator Adventure. Sawyer was in heaven. All he could talk about Friday night was seeing the alligators. His favorite thing there were the snakes....yuck.

After some lunch we went back to the waterpark. Sawyer started going down the slide by himself. Over and over again. They played until the couldn't play anymore. Needless to say they slept good that night.

I was quite surprised how well behaved they were. It was so much fun and although exhausting for me, I am glad we went. I didn't get any pictures at the waterpark....watching 3 kids around water is a job and I didn't have enough hands for the camera.
