Beach Bums (Tuesday 7-12-11)

Day 3 at Myrtle Beach

Today we stayed in the water ALL day. We went to the ocean and spent the morning.  The kids took their boogy boards to the ocean and rode the waves. The waves were rougher today then they have been since we got here.  After the got finished playing in the ocean they played in the sand.  The kids built sand castles & Morgan built a sand chair.  At first Spencer had a hard time getting his sand castle to stay together.  I had to show him how to "pack" the sand.

After a morning at the ocean, we went back to the room to eat lunch.  We have been eating sandwiches for lunch & then going out to eat for supper.  After eating lunch we headed down to the pool so the kids could play with their new water toys.

After swimming all afternoon we ordered Papa John's pizza and ate at the room tonight.  Everyone was really tired after a long day in the water.  After eating supper we headed back down to walk the beach & pick up shells.  It was starting to get dark and it was so peaceful walking along the coast listening to the waves hit the shore.  We only got a few shells because it started getting dark on us.



On the way back there were some people fishing off the shore.  Right when we walked by a kids caught a baby shark.  The kids got to see the shark.  It was a neat experience for them to see.  My camera will not take pictures when we are walking up and down the beach.  I think the humidity/moisture is too high.  My lens will fog up and I can't get any pictures.  It stinks that I haven't been able to get any good pictures of the kids walking up and down the beach.  I wish Morgan would have brought her camera with her so we could have taken a few pictures.
