Splish, Splash!

On Friday, June 27, we got together with some friends of ours, Britt and April, and their two children Sydney and Gavin. Nolan and Sydney have been friends since they were about two years old. It is so hard to believe how much they have grown since then. We grilled hamburgers and the kids went swimming and we had a great time. Tucker and Gavin enjoyed playing some poolside golf while Nolan and Sydney enjoyed aggravating them! Check out the pictures below of the kids enjoying some time with their friends.

MYRTLE BEACH 2008

Since this is our first blog post I thought I would start with our most recent adventure. We recently had our annual trip to Myrtle Beach, SC. We had a great time this year! There were so many of our friends visiting Myrtle Beach with us this year. The first night we ate at The Crabhouse we had a party of 28!! All of the families are from our church. We enjoyed spending time with the Cawthon's, the Zittrouer's, the Coe's, the White's, and the Taylor's. We stayed at the Island Vista Resort. It was a very nice resort. The best part about this resort is that it was located more on the residential end of myrtle beach so the beach was not crowded at all. Nolan was extremely excited about the beach this year because his friend Mason would be there as well. This is the first time Nolan has actually had someone his age to play with at the beach. He and Mason pretty much spent every waking moment together. I am so glad the White's were able to vacation the same week. Tucker always enjoys going on vacation. He could literally live in the pool. Whether playing with Carter or Will or playing by himself he had the best time. Although Corbin was able to go to the beach last year, he was only 4 months old so he really only sat there or slept. This year he was full force on the beach. He absolutely loved the sand and the ocean. He was covered from head to toe in sand and loved every minute of it. He would run and plop down in the water and then jump up and waddle back up the beach. Although we had a great time at the beach, we were definitely ready to get back home. There's nothing like sleeping in your own bed. I have posted pictures below. I hope you all enjoy the pictures and our first blog entry. Until later, God Bless!

The resort had a kids club that had different activites planned throughout the day. During this activity they brought the kids out to the beach to search for sharks teeth. Corbin took it upon himself to plant himself in the middle of the group. I guess he wanted to find a shark's tooth also.

We took the boys to the Ripley's Aquarium. They had a pirate exhibit that was really neat. This is a picture of one of the big tanks that they do live dive shows in. The boys enjoyed viewing the sharks and sting rays while riding the moving sidewalk.
