Family Fun in Myrtle Beach

We went on a family beach trip to Myrtle Beach over July 4th. We got to spend time with CC, Day Day, Me-Ma, the Watson's, Gunderson's and Whitley's. It was a great week filled with fun, sun, good food and lots of time with loved ones. The weather was perfect; lots of sun and even some cooler temps (well, cool for July at the beach). The boys had a blast but did keep us very, very busy. They both absolutely loved the beach including the water and sand. It was nearly impossible to keep David under the tent, he just wanted to crawl all over. I just knew the hot sand was burning his knees as much as it was burning the bottoms of our feet but I guess not because he never slowed down. Drew liked to play in the water, look for shells and catch fish in his net. They both also looked cute as can be on the beach if I do say so myself! Here's tons of pictures from our trip...
Tub of water for David to play in.
Daddy and I having a fantastic day at the beach! The sun and sand were great for his recovery and it was wonderful to see him enjoying the beach like he always has!
CC and Day Day. So darling!
Tom and Stephen help Whitley and Drew jump the waves.
CC and Aunt Cristie play with the kiddos in the water.
David and Drew checking out some tracks on the beach on July 4th.

David just about crawled along every square inch of the beach.
Pretty Cristie and Whitley waiting for the July 4th fireworks to start.
Drew and Whitley flying Drew's cool shark kite!
Waiting for the fireworks to start.
Still waiting! CC and David finally went up to the condo. It's a good thing because the fireworks didn't start until 10:30, over an hour past the scheduled time.
Drew eating Tom's first birthday cake. It was a bit of a mess because Cristie forgot to put eggs in it. It just crumbled to pieces but it was the most delicious chocolate cake I've ever tasted!
Getting excited about singing and having cake #2!
Happy Birthday Tom!
Impatiently waiting and finally going in for a candle lick.
David wants cake too!
Trying to get a photo of the three of them; a big failure once again!
David and Day Day playing "keep away" with a teether.

David snatched it back!
We had the best time riding waves on the tube!
CC, Day Day, Uncle Mark, Aunt Mary and the boys take a ride around the golf course.
They boys and their Grandmas!
David loves doggies so was naturally a huge fan of Jax, a dog in the neighborhood.
CC treated the kids to a day at Broadway on the Beach. Here is Cristie with Drew and Whitley on the way to the rides. She was super Aunt on our trip! She spent so much quality time with Drew and David playing with them and giving them hugs and kisses.
The first ride they rode was their very favorite! It whipped around each corner pretty darn fast for a kid ride. At first they looked scared but then they started loving it! It was so fun to watch!
Motorcycles!
Dune buggies! Drew and Whitley were so hot and therefore red-faced!
David watched the craziness from his cool and shaded stroller.

David's first carousel ride!
Sitting in the golf cart at CC and Day Day's. Drew has just about outgrown it so David is up next! Looks like he's ready!
Whitley and Drew watching a Western with Day Day. They will watch just about anything and they like a close seat!
