Vacation - Myrtle Beach

It was Myrtle Beach or bust for the Denton Clan on Saturday morning. The 8 hour drive is not our favorite part of vacation but it is necessary so we endure it. I am so thankful that we have a dvd player in our van, we also pack bags of toys and coloring books to occupy the kids. As soon as we arrive, we eat supper then Mema and I head out for groceries and everyone else settles into our condos.

Every day begins with pool time and beach time. The kids love both.

Each year we pick a morning to go eat a big breakfast together before going shopping at the outlets. Can you believe we don't have our traditional matching shirts??? Erik and Roy were both so disappointed that Mom wasn't able to find everyone's sizes this year! (Can you detect the touch of sarcasm?) Lydia and Faith are so cute together. They spend most of the week glued to one another's sides, holding hands everywhere they go. They play very well together and are best friends.

Caleb's favorite part was the days we rode jet skis. He especially loves it when Uncle Erik takes him out in the ocean and jumps the waves. He is my little daredevil!

We are always so sad to see the week come to an end. Our family has come to relish this time away at the beach. We keep talking about doing something different for our summer vacation but the ocean keeps calling us back. We are so thankful that Mema and Pepa are able to take us every year. I hope this tradition continues for a long time!
