Surfside

We spent last week at Surfside Beach with Mimi, Granddaddy Pete, Uncle Tyson, Aunt Amanda, and cousin Elle.  It was a fantastic week with beautiful weather, great location, awesome company, and yummy food.  Both Hannah and Jackson really loved playing with their cousin Elle.  Jack introduced her to his Star Wars figures.  I cracked up when she made Luke Skywalker become Prince Charming and made him hold one of her princess' hand while singing "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream." 

Jackson continues to love hitting the waves on his boogie board. Hannah warmed up to the sand and ventured off the blanket by the end of the week. She wasn't so sure about the cold ocean, but she LOVED the pools. The resort had a great little kiddie water park with a lazy river that we all loved. Besides camping out on the beach or by the pools, we also ate out several times in Murrells Inlet, played putt-putt, saw the Legends show, went to a children's museum, went on a treasure hunt, and the men played a little golf.  We also had a little early birthday celebrating for Hannah.  Jackson's confidence with swimming underwater is growing and he was a little fish all week.  Hannah discovered hushpuppies and butter... there was a little mishap when mommy gave her a butter packet to preoccupy her.  I looked back to discover she had opened it and had butter all over her face, hair, and hands.  Oops. 

All in all, it was a relaxing and fun vacation - can't wait to do it again next year.
