Myrtle Beach Vacation Continues.....

So the vacation continues. We have been enjoying the pool and beach each day...so no great pictures to share for the last couple of days. Today we took a break from the sun and headed to Broadway at the Beach and Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. We went on the new SkyWheel that just opened three weeks ago. I would highly recommend this for those of you that are in Myrtle Beach.

Here is the view from the top !!!!!!
You betcha, Senor Frog's. We had the most fun lunch. Granted I was the only one that was willing to get up and dance but that's OK, I wouldn't want anyone embarrassed by how good my moves are !! Dayflower Homies....you know what I'm talking about !!!!


So this is the Giant Crab Buffet that we went to. I was so proud of Tristen with all the new things he tried. He had She Crab Soup, Crab Legs, etc. But I will say that he did not like the Crawfish as "this is not the kind that Uncle Donald makes....these are spicy." He did a great job at popping the heads off and sucking the meat out. I think the boy just might have my Southern Genes.


This is just one of those spots on Barefoot Landing that the kids liked.

We had a great time with putt putt. Here the kids are doing a little warm up on their putting.
Little break at the turn...Tristen was so serious !!!
I don't want to brag....but isn't that a good lookin' family ?????

VACATION !!!!! Myrtle Beach Day 1

1st Day at Myrtle Beach !!!! Oh yeah....the big bottle of Tequila that comes out of the ceiling and into the giant Blender at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville.

Broadway at the Beach as we wait the 1 hour and 45 minutes for our table at Jimmy Buffet's.

Brian and Tristen battling the waves in the kayak. There aren't the Dolphins that you see in the Gulf but as we were in the kayak's several schools of String Ray's went right under us. It was too cool and at the same time a little eerie as you could reach right down and touch them.

Nana and Jenneth working their way into the water....
Just a little bit farther....maybe by tomorrow we can get Jenneth's knees wet.

And here are the boys in the lazy river at the Condo.
The girls in the pool at the Condo.
Ok...so here I am unloading all the stuff from the car and the boys are posing in front of the waterfall in the parking garage.

Well summer has begun as the blow up pools are up and filled. Looks like fun right?


Really?????? Can I get you kids anything?

Spring Time Fun

Baseball Season has finally began !!!!! You are looking at the newest T-Ball member of the family. Jenneth is so excited that she is playing T-Ball. She now gets to be just like her "bubby" Go Bulls !!!
In the Dugout.... This is the picture after she came in from hitting. I should mention that after her first hit, the helmet was so big that it covered her eyes and she ran right to the pitchers mound. God love her...she was so excited that she hit the ball on her first try that it didn't even phase her. Go Jenneth !!!
Tristen is on the Pirates this year. And his first game he hit two doubles and did great playing second and short stop.
Look at that concentration...
Easter Morning !!! Is there anything other than a breakfast of Chocolate on Easter Morning?
Of course the annual "official" plastic egg counting of the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid.
A great Buffet at Garrison. Jenneth might look like she is smiling but that would be after she cried and jumped on Grampa's lap to save her from the Bunny.
It rained on Easter and this was a few short moments that we had to do our photo shoot. No Brian as he always has to work on Easter Sunday.
Can you tell that the kids are tired of being told to stand still and smile???
All I have to say is these two are "Two Peas in a Pod."
Nana and Grampa gave us some great Easter bags full of all kinds of fun things.
Ok, so I had to throw this one in. She just makes me laugh. I saw Jenneth turn the corner and the song "Let's Get Physical" popped right into my head.
Nana is so lucky to have such eager Grandkids to help cut her Birthday cake and open her presents.
Jenneth is on this bike non stop. She calls it her big girl bike. Thanks to her Godmother, Sandy she has a girls bike. We had a nice red and blue one that Tristen had and Brian was going to spraypaint !!!!
Ok...so we did go down the driveway a little too fast....here is the end result. She cried herself to sleep on the couch. I thought for sure that was the last time that she was going to ride the bike...but she got back on the next day.
There are a few times when two siblings get a long and it just touches your heart. I had told the kids to go upstairs and start getting their jammies on....I come up to this. Just had to get it on film.

Tristen and Brian got a chance to go to a Pacers Game and it happened to be the one that the Pacers won in order to get into the Playoffs.
Here is another picture of the boys at the game.
Tristen invited us to his music class one day and we got to play the bongos with him. Jenneth and Brian had more fun that Tristen did.
I was impressed with the piano lab that Tristen has in their music class. We never had pianos in our school !!! He did really well...Check this out Nana !!!
Just another fun picture. Jenneth wanted to show me her dance that her and monkey could do.
So I go upstairs to check on Jenneth and Brian and this is what I see. I thought for sure I was going to wake them up with my laughing....but Like Father like Daughter they both slept through the flashes of the camera and my laughing.

Is it Spring Yet ????

So here Brian and I are in our room watching the Big 10 Tournament and all of a sudden these two yahoo's walk in...There is something to say about children having an imagination and creativity.
Here is Tristen at his final Basketball game for the season. They had a big ceremony in which Blue (Colts mascot) came and the kids were so excited. Another sport completed and just waiting for Baseball to begin. His coach told us that he would miss Tristen's wild 3 point shots from God only knows where the kid would make them.
Tristen's class took a field trip to the Children's Museum.
Brian was a chaperone and the group that he had wanted to see the Dinosaurs instead of the Barbie exhibit that was featured during this time. I told him to make sure he took plenty of pictures....here are the two that were the best.
My children decided to take the baby doll stroller and have Jenneth sit in it while Tristen pushed her around the house as fast as he could. Needless to say, the stroller did not make it to the final lap of the race....but they had a great time.
This picture is from back in January. This is Tristen working on his Snowboarding. Here is the picture of him getting ready to go down the hill.
Watch out Winter X Games...here comes Tristen Moore !!! I was pretty impressed with how well he did.
Here are my two little snow bunnies..aren't they the cutest ??
