Josh's 1/2 & North Myrtle Beach Vacation

Okay, okay I tried to pick my favorite pics but I still have a lot. To see them all click on the NMB album. Anyway we left last Thursday to go to North Myrtle Beach. We had a fantastic time (eating out, playing in the ocean, swimming in the pool, shopping, Josh's race, go karts, putt putt, and the list goes on) and it is a little hard to be back. :)
We went to the beach because Josh had a race (1/2 Ironman - 1 mile swim, 56 mile bike & 13.1 mile run) in White Lake, NC on Saturday and we decided to make a week trip out of it. This is where Josh swam in his race, it looked pretty neat.
Josh did so well in his race, especially for the amount of training he had put in. He did it in 5 hrs and 12 mins. Both kids were worn out from waking up at 4:30 am and were asleep when he crossed the finish line!! We are so proud of Josh.
Both kiddos loved the ocean!! Here is Ty running from a wave. The last night we couldn't get them out of the ocean.
Ty loves to make funny faces and poses and this was one of my favorites.
I guess having an older brother makes you want to play with dump trucks instead of Barbies.
Marley is so proud of herself in these goggles. Also Josh did an amazing Low Country boil this night.
Well back to the real world of no ocean, pool, eating out everyday & Josh back at work. Let's start thinking about the next vacation!!

Beckett is on us hard bc both sets of cousins have been back to the beach since our October trip and we haven't! Hope we can make a quick trip in the Fall with the newest Harper! :)

Hey Kathy~
I tried to look at the rest of your MB pics and the link doesn't work. Just thought I'd let you know. Don't know if it is something you can fix, or if it is their problem, but I just wanted to see more beach pics and I can't! See you guys tomorrow!

It looks like you all had a blast and way to go Josh!! Love the beach pics and I hope going back to reality is not too hard. =) I am still having a hard time to adjusting back to the daily grind of things. I also hope you had a wonderful mother's day!! Give the kids a big hug. Also be thinking about a long family weekend trip.
