Labor Day Beach Trip

We desperately needed this one last Summer trip together before the hectic chaos of school and work began again...and it was a great way to celebrate Mommy's big 30th!  We had a great time in a fabulous resort in Myrtle Beach with a large indoor waterpark.  Evan went down the waterslide with a little coaxing from Mommy! 

Our beautiful beach bum.

Trying out the water with Daddy.

What a gorgeous face!

Snack time.

Writing his name on the beach.

Not bad for a 3 year old.

Playing with Mommy.

He left me on the waterslide and decided at the last minute to go down by himself.  I was scared he would get scared at the end because the water got a little deep so I rushed down behind him.  He was just fine without me!

PUTT PUTT WITH FRIENDS

We met our friends and next door neighbors for a fun night of dinner, putt-putt, and ice cream.

Evan played like such a big boy and finished the game.  I am pretty sure he beat Mommy.

Sitting patiently with Mrs. Kristin.

Mr. Eddie (or Uncle Eddie as Evan called him) was very gracious in letting his wife and son beat him.

Mommy did surprisingly better than usual.

Evan and his "big brother" Zachary

Time for a cool sweet treat!

I just love his sweet expression here.

Zachary enjoyed his big cone.

Of course the adults had to have some sweet treats too!

Evan goes for a horseback ride.  This adorable ice cream parlor was chock full of old timey play things.  My favorite was the old carnival game where the men squeezed the handle to see how "hot" they were!  ;-)

The boys ridin' together!

Mommy and Evan playing in the water.

Evan finally got brave enough to let go and play a little on his own.

MORE FUN WITH FRIENDS

Evan meets Superman...and his sidekick, a rather large parrot.

Mommy's old high school friend, Jeanne, and her little man, Brighton. 

Evan rides Mr. T Rex!

Bright wasn't too sure about all those teeth.

Evan and Daddy feed the giant carp.

A tired little man patiently waiting for some fireworks.



Evan got to ride some of the old rides from the old Pavilion.  He loved these motorcycles with the silliest horns.

Dune buggy time.

Daddy had to take one for the team and ride one with Evan.  Mommy could not handle this one!

Love this action shot!  Their smiles are priceless!

Love the carousel!

Mommy could handle this one.

Some sweet Labor Day fireworks.  Apparently, we weren't supposed to stand on the bridge, and Evan was not liking the smoke blowing in his eyes.

Had to get a picture of these boys together!

And one of the old friends too!
