We had to wait an eternity for our summer vacation this year. All the way until the end of July! Once the time arrived, Mom, Dad, and I were so excited! We hit Myrtle Beach with the whole Mowbray clan.
Mom and I made it to the beach every day. I L-O-V-E playing in the sand and building castles.
Me, on a water retrieval mission.
Hauling in special sand for my architectural wonder.
My cousins stayed in a condo in the same building that we did. We got to spend so much great time playing together!
Another sandcastle masterpiece...this time Mom showed me the finer points of "droopy castle" creation!
We were run off the beach by rain a few times, but we rallied with shopping and eating! My cousins and me, at Ron Jon Surfshop!
Rockin', at Barefoot Landing.
All of the kiddos with Nana and Papa before a delicious dinner out.
More sand time on the beach...
I told you, I love the sand!
Dad surprised me with my very own boogie board.
We spent some time on the lazy river...
And splashing in the pool...
Before heading out to the tide pools to take on some righteous waves.
Dad loved our outing to the all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. What do you think I thought of it? Needless to say, I developed a mild fear of crabs by the end of the meal.
The whole Mowbray gang, after stuffing ourselves silly.
Once our bellies were full, we hit the links to burn off some calories.
I made some excellent shots, especially when I picked up the ball with my hands an dropped it directly in the hole.
Dad and I also tested our skills at "trick kite" flying.
Dad was pretty good with the kite...
But I preferred to lounge in the tide pools.
We had a great time in the sun and surf...
with our family!
And were sad to head home. Adios, North Myrtle Beach. Until next time!
