Spring Break 2014

We had a fantastic Spring Break!  We left on Monday morning and headed south.  After a bit of traffic we were finally in the clear!  We headed to North Myrtle Beach for a few days!  Sadly it didn't feel to beachy but we still had a great time.  This was our first time using a vacation rental!  It was 200 steps to the beach.  It was fantastic!  Because it was pet friendly even Sidney got to travel along!

We had some cool experiences while we were there!  We went to an aquarium because the forcast predicted 100% chance of rain.  Then we went to have some BBQ and headed to the TIGERS preservation.  It was there that we got to have our photo taken with a 2 1/2 month old tiger and a gibbon!  It was so cool!

We also got to fly a kite on the beach, check out a state park and take in a pretty nifty pirate show!  Everyone had a great time!  Bill did a great job navigating through oodles of traffic on the way back!

 First Sight of the Ocean!!!  They had SO much fun!  It was sprinkling so we were dressed in rain gear! 

 Addi located a million shells!  We came home with i bet 8lbs of shells!  They are all the most beautiful treasure EVER!

Landon was so wet!  He wasn't in a suit because it was chilly!  He did not care AT ALL!

Yaaaar Matey!

 The pirate show was run by a Dolly Parton company.  It was really good!  We were expecting it to be ok...but we were really entertained as well! 

 The Aquarium

 The other requested activity was flying a kite on the beach!  It was so much fun!  It was surely windy enough.  It was fairly chilly the entire time we were there!  But the kids didn't notice!  They had a great time on the beach!

 Landon found this hole and thought it was the greatest thing!
