Fun in the Sun!

Vacation was FAB-U-LOUS!!!! I wish we were still at the beach. Although, it is really nice to be home and in my own bed. Our week at the beach was jammed packed with fun. Let's see...how did our week go....

Saturday - we checked in around 2pm and had to head to the store for some groceries. Olivia made us forget half of the food we needed because she was about to DIE to get to the ocean. So, back to the beach house we went and she put on her suit and we headed down to the sand. That's when I took this pic of her - too cute right? After she got to play on the beach for awhile, she was A-OK.

Sunday - everyone packed up and we all went out on the beach. WELL....Nana got sun burnt, Al got sun burnt and Poppy got sun burnt. Me and the kids were the only ones that didn't. LOL - I tell you....I am a *firm* believer in some sun screen. Just ask Cooper, you can't even tell he's been at the beach for a week.

Monday - Al and I took the kids to the aquarium. RIP OFF!!!!! Not only was it packed, but it wasn't worth the $50 odd dollars it costs to get in. Maybe if I had seen something instead of hundreds of kids running around unsupervised, I'd feel differently.

Tuesday - we went to the pool and the back to the beach. Fun! Tuesday night we went to the SeaFare restaurant which has a real LIVE mermaid. Olivia was in awe of her. It was really cute and the food was pretty good too! Later we went and play putt putt. Cooper was more interested in the ducks in the pond. Olivia got 18 holes in one - she's going to be the next Tiger Woods. Our whole game of 18 holes took about 30 minutes....fastest I've ever played putt putt! LOL

Wednesday - went to the pool and then to the beach to watch the fireworks. Both Cooper and Olivia were scared of them so we ended up riding around in the golf cart watching them that way. What weenies!

Thursday - spent another day out on the beach. Later in the afternoon we went back to Broadway at the beach and let the kids ride some rides. Cooper loved the Ferris wheel type ride and Olivia rode the carousal a few times. Then, Olivia made a doll at "Friends 2 B Made" and named her Holly. Holly is naked now by the way....strange kid. Cooper made a T-Rex at "Build a Dino" and named him CJ. Cooper Junior - funny! Oh, and Nana and Poppy got Olivia an Ariel shirt made and Cooper a Spongebob shirt made with their names on it. Cute!

Friday - we spent the whole frigging day out on the beach. Seriously, I didn't think we would ever LEAVE. At one point I thought Poppy had forgotten all about us. LOL It was fun though and the kids enjoyed their last full day at the ocean.

Saturday - packed up and headed home! Woo hoo! I really enjoyed my vacation but it's ssssooo nice to be back in Hartsville and in my own bed. :)
