Playing putt putt in Myrtle Beach, SC

Elisabeth pouting because she feels like nobody is letting her play putt putt (not the case but she had a bit of an attitude at this point)

May playing putt putt for the first time

Ansleyhad to go into this store because you got to walk through the sharks mouth to get to the entrance........so cool to an 8 and a 4 year old!

On the pier after dinner

After dinner at Drunken Jacks in Murrells Inlet, SC. The waitress was kind enough to give all of us pirate hats!

Elisabeth did not want her picture taken with this pirate.....too scary. We finally talked her into it.

Ansley being silly as usual and pretending the pirate's hook is going through her chest.

The view from Drunken Jack's (there were goats, a cow and a peacock on the little island on the right of the picture. Strange combination I know.)

View from our hotel room (Springmaid pier in the background)

May and Ansley swimming in the lazy river

Elisabeth spent just about the whole time digging and sitting in the sand

Last weekend we took May to the beach.....Myrtle Beach. Definitely not my favorite beach but it was fine because we had free hotel rooms. Free is good. May thought she had been to the beach once when she was little but doesn't have any memories of it. She really enjoyed playing in the waves and then swimming in the pool and the lazy river. She had never played miniature golf either so we did that and had a good time......even though it was so HOT that day. We thought we were going to melt by the time we got to the 18th hole. Whew! May leaves on Monday (August 3rd) and we are going to miss her. She has been fun and is very sweet. The girls really enjoy her. I hope she has had a good time staying with us for the past 3 weeks.

The other pictures are from John's trip to Norfolk with his dad, 2 uncles and cousin to take a Tiger Cruise on the USS Harry S. Truman. He had a great time! He even got to meet Sophie "America's Angel" from the TV show "Cory in the House". Ansley was a little jealous but glad he brought back a picture and an autograph. She and Elisabeth have her autograph taped to their bedroom doors for all to see.
