Big Airplane

The kids loved it. All of them. I could tell the twins were nervous at first, but once take off was over, they loved it. Slayder, he was awake for both take off's then he'd pass out for most of the rest of the trip. He was so super excited to be going on a BIG AIRPLANE that he wore himself out! Vacation was great... it was hot and sunny almost the entire week, and Slayder loved the ocean. The first day we walked down just to take a look, there was no swimming in it do to the rip tides from the hurricane Bill, but he stared at it and said "W-O-W, that's big water!" It took him a while to get used to the big waves and the salt water on his face... he cried each time it got in his eyes, but then he went right back for it! Seth & Sidnie both just wanted to go out farther and farther... I however am scared of sharks so I won't take them out very far at all!
I guess I am a lame-o chicken butt. Oh well. We went to a place that was basically an Alligator santuary. There were thousands of them. The kids all had a blast there also. They have the largest alligator known in captivity in North America. It was Gi-Normous!!!! Like, freaking huge! They had other animals and reptiles also, it was a really really cool place!
We did lots of shopping and sight see-ing around the town, we went to Lori's Art Museum and looked at the exhibits... and ofcourse we went out to eat! This is Sam's favorite part of Myrtle Beach... a place called 'The Original Benjamins'. Largest Seafood Buffet we've ever seen! It is like 30 bucks a plate, which is a total waste on me, but Sam eats his and my 30 dollars worth. He talks about that place all year, and I'm quite sure the only reason he agrees to go every year is so he can visit the Seafood Buffet! It's an great place to eat, if you like seafood. They have other things also, but majoirty is crab legs and stuff like that, stuff I don't like:) Sucks being picky.
Over-all this was a wonderful vacation again! We stayed in a new place, a 'house' instead of a hotel, and I will never stay in a hotel there again. This place was so much better! Seth got sick while we were there and had to go to the doc and get some meds, Slayder got the runs from all the pool/ocean water... but it was great either way!!

Lori and Sean are the best hosts in the world and help us out so much when we are down there. The twins asked if they could stay and live with Lori and Sean... LoL I'm sure they DON'T want that!! :)
