July 4th and Drew's Extended Vacation

We made our way to Myrtle Beach for the long weekend over July 4th.  It was a great time.  My parents recently joined a boat club so in addition to lots of time spent on the beach, we got to go boating twice as well.  Another treat of the trip was a July 4th golf cart parade in the Long Bay Club where Day Day, CC and Me-Ma live.  They don't own a golf cart but one of the neighbors does and he was out of town.  Lucky us - he let us borrow it and he had some decorations from the prior year.  Mom got a few more and voila, we were ready to go!  The boys enjoyed the ride and us adults enjoyed the patriotic tunes we were blaring.  Happy 4th!!!  Drew was lucky and got to stay in Myrtle Beach with his grandparents for a whole extra week!  Drew was off in July since he finished up at the Children's Campus the end of June and started Kindergarten July 30th.  During his week in Myrtle Beach, he went back and forth between Me-Ma's and Day Day/CC's house, packing his little suitcase each morning.  It was very sweet that he made sure to split his time, determined to be "fair" he said.  He was spoiled of course - lots of fun outings to the beach, stores, movies, miniature golf.  He already can't wait till his first track out in October when he will return to Grandparent camp.

Drew loves being Captain with Day Day.  

MagiQuest!  CC and Me-Ma took Drew to this super
special treat!  MagiQuest is an interactive fantasy game
where the kids use wands to solve mysteries and such.  It's kind
of like a massive scavenger hunt.  Me-Ma and CC said it was
overwhelming, Drew said it rocked!  

The wand was fun in itself.  

They found a splash pad after MagiQuest.

Day Day took Drew to a pirate store.  Wow - a whole store
filled with pirate stuff.  Drew didn't have any trouble finding
things he "needed" and they got a few things for David as well.

Miniature golf.  He got to go twice! Once with
Me-Ma and again with Me-Ma and CC.  

Big thanks to the Grandparents for having Drew!  He had a blast on his vacation and will proudly share every detail to anyone that will listen.
