Myrtle Beach

Well, we just got back from our trip up to Myrtle Beach, SC to see my grandfather.  Thankfully, we also got the chance to get together with my aunt and uncle too (they were visiting from NJ). This was the first time that my extended family got to see the boys, so needless to say, we had a wonderful time.

The pictures here are from the Ripley's Aquarium.  The boys loved to see all of the different fish. But the sharks were the biggest hit of the day. Carter loved them and Nate had a smile on his face almost the whole time we were going through the water exhibit.  Well, we didn't actually go through, we went under:)  Anyway, it was really great because there was a conveyer that took us through the large aquarium, where we were able to see the fish swim above and around us.  It was really neat. Honestly, I really think this was Carter's favorite part. He was really intrigued by this conveyer; we had to keep reminding him to look at all of the sharks instead of the conveyer.  I have to admit though, I really enjoyed it too (I just tried to hide it a little better:)

(Please note the "smile" Carter has in each of these pictures...It's his new thing!!)

     

                                                                           

  

This was Carter riding the pirate ship at the amusement park (don't worry, it wasn't full size). He loved riding all of the rides; at least the ones he could.  I had a lot of fun too because I was able to "supervise" Carter and ride on some of the rides with him.  It's fun to act like a kid again sometimes!!
