On Thursday morning we packed up and loaded the car. Hayden, Tess and I drove all the way to Myrtle Beach without stopping...SUCCESS! Luckily my Grandpa and Corky met us when we arrived and helped me juggle the craziness that is getting a 70 pound dog and infant out of the car at the same time, in the heat, while the one who pulls like crazy on her leash is searching for a place to go to the bathroom! We made it upstairs and got everyone unloaded and set up. We brought in pizza for dinner and hung out until the Spicer Family arrived later that night. They had driven ALL THE WAY from Tallahassee just to spend the long weekend with us! We were so looking forward to Hayden meeting both of their little guys!!
On Friday morning we picked up Tyler from the airport and headed to the grocery store. Drew and Lindsey arrived later that afternoon to a rainy day. We stayed in for the most part and geared up for a weekend of fun in the sun. Brooke grabbed these pictures while we were hanging out. :)
On Saturday we spent some time on the beach! Unfortunately we got caught in a bit of a shower and ended up running up for lunch, IN THE RAIN, with 3 kids and almost all of our stuff....the beach with babies is a whole new ballgame. :)
After all that excitement, it was time for a nap! GiGi has been helping us stock up on Favorite Blankets...she even found one in blue!
We headed out in the afternoon for some time at the pool. Then we had a yummy dinner at the condo and rested up for our pool day ahead. We were up early the next morning and excited to head down to the "water park" on the grounds. Brooke and Adam's oldest son is about 18 months old, and he loved EVERY BIT of playing at the park. When the little ones were ready for a nap, we made our way back to the pool by our building and enjoyed the wonderful and convenient cabana that Pop had reserved for us. It was a WONDERFUL home base for our 3 families and 3 kids. It was the perfect shady spot for us to park our things and relax.
We spent time in the pool...
...and relaxed in the shade!
We enjoyed SUCH a wonderful long weekend with some of our very favorite people. All the little guys were so well behaved and we could not have asked for a better family vacation. We sadly headed home on Monday missing the sand, the sea, and our fabulous Florida friends!
