MYRTLE BEACH VACAY!!

We packed the van up like the Clampett's and were off to North Myrtle. We spent the week at the North Beach Plantation and there was lots to do for everyone. Richter's favorite place to be, in the middle of August mind you, was in one of the many hot tubs. We had a lot of fun. We took turns cooking in, all hung out together at the pool playing a couple of evenings and had a great dinner out one night. It was our first family vacation and rumor has it the search is on for next year.

 We were on the 12th floor, oceanfront. Just about every night people set of fireworks right in front of us. Pretty nice to see at eye level.

FIRST TRIP TO THE SAFARI PARK AND ZOO

We took Richter to the Natural Bridge Safari Park and Zoo this summer. (I was just as excited as he was) We got up, packed a lunch and hit the road. We went to the Safari Park first. Right when we got there I let Richter sit on my lap so he could see everything. We had fun and fed some of the animals. Others were way to grabby! Hello there guy...

We ate our lunch in the car between the Safari and the Zoo. (all in the middle of potty training...fun) Right away we told Richter that he and DH were going to ride the elephant. MISTAKE. The kid has a one track mind. He really didn't have much interest in the other animals at the zoo. He just wanted to find the elephant.

We had a wonderful family day!!

FUN IN THE SPRINKLER

 Richter and I spent many days at the pool, but there were several days we decided to stay home and play in our yard. Last year we had a baby pool but our yard isn't very level so this year we decided to get a sprinkler. (or sprinkle as Richter called it).

 

 

 

 

As you can see we had a very fun day. We play lots of different sports on Ridgewood Dr. We stay active ALL OF THE TIME!!!

SPRING TRIP TO NORTH MYRTLE BEACH

Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures of our trip to North Myrtle Beach in May. We went for five days with our buddies David and Christy. We have the most pictures from the day we went to the aquarium. Richter absolutely loved it.

 

 

 

We had a great trip, the first of three beach trips for the year!!
