Labor Day Weekend at the Beach....

We were so lucky this weekend that Joe had 4 days off! As soon I found out, I booked us a spot at Mrytle Beach. We loaded up the car Saturday morning and off we went. The weather could have been a little better, but it was so nice as a family to get away and enjoy time with Joe. The kids had a great time. Here are all the pics to prove it ;)

The one and only pic of me... we had dinner in our room and then took the kids for a walk and went out for ice cream...


Somehow Caroline has ended up with two ice-cream cones... hmmm....


Maybe you just have to know Molly and her personality, but when Joe and I reviewed the pics from the trip, we couldn't stop laughing at this one. She is a total goofball and we thought it was cute....


Here's a little better one...


mmm.... Caroline loves ice cream!


Me and my daddy!




One of Caroline's other favorite activites is stealing my camera and taking pictures....


Her self-photo...


The resort we were at had 3 outdoor pools, two indoor pools, two lazy rivers, and a couple hot tubs... the kids loved the lazy river!


Having fun floating.....


Our little Monkey......


And Nicholas' favorite place to be... in the ocean!


He just loved to roll around in the waves...


Molly was really unsure of the sand. She really did not want me to set her down. I was able to get her to sit down finally and she would not get up or move if something was out of her reach. By the last day she finally would walk on the sand if her shoes were on. The only way she would go in the water was if I was holding her and even then she wasn't too thrilled. But, she loved the pool and hot tub!


Me and my dad.... Nicholas has such a great time hanging out with his daddy. It was really cool to watch them having fun together.


talking about the ocean... maybe, or maybe they were talking about the Hammerhead shark that some guy saw swim right by them... aaahhh!!!!


One of the hot tubs.... It was nice and warm, especially once the wind hit.


The kids took a rest one afternoon and Joe said he was going to go study... This was how Caroline found him......


And back to the beach we go....


Caroline and Nicholas found an abandoned hole and had fun digging in the sand.


Miss Molly even joined in....


The resort we stayed at....


Nicholas had fun burying daddy...




Swimming in the indoor pool...


Our drive home took a couple hours longer than we had hoped. We got stuck in all of the holiday traffic... yuck! When we finally made it home the kids played for a little while and I cooked dinner. Once dinner was ready, Caroline asked if they could eat outside. She had this cute little table all set up and ready to go... I couldn't say no, and it was so easy to clean up when they were done :)

All in all we had a great weekend as a family and are looking forward to the next 4 day weekend that we have with Joe!
