Friend a Saur

Our 1st stop at Broadway at the Beach was Build A Bear! Kaitlin could not decide what to make and finally picked out a pink dinosaur!

She was not so sure of the LOUD noises involved in making the dino but she would not let it go after it was finished!

Loving the dinosaurs today!

Kaitlin walked around and was so happy the entire time we were out. She even took some time to test out some chairs!

She was so tired after a morning of fun that she fell asleep in the parking lot on the way home!

We did not get any more beach time but we had a wonderful time and it was a very special vacation!

Sea Captain’s House

Our last day at the beach was not the prettiest! It was cool and cloudy so we decided to go to our favorite place for breakfast hoping the sun would come out! The Sea Captain's House is right on the beach and is a must go to whenever we are at Myrtle Beach! I remember being a little girl and sitting on the rocks for pictures! It is a sentimental place to eat and the best view in town!

We had a sweet lady come by and visit with Kaitlin! She wanted to know what grade she was in and guessed 1st grade. I told her that Kaitlin was only 2 and she was a little taken back! We giggled about it for the rest of breakfast!

Kaitlin ran around after breakfast and had so much fun

It is tradition to take your picture with the captain every visit! We think Kaitlin thought he resembled Santa and wanted NOTHING to do with him!

Still no sun after breakfast so we went to a fun shopping area to walk around and make the most of a cloudy day!

Boundary House

After busy beach day # 3 we ate at our favorite restaurant in Calabash NC! It is not a long drive but it was quite an adventure getting there. It was dark when we left the condo and the sky was getting darker by the second. We merged on the interstate and it started pouring. Then came the hail! Golf ball size and then the traffic on the  interstate STOPS completely. We were sitting ducks with the hail just crashing on our car. Kaitlin was a trooper and watched her DVD. We were not hurt and considered ourselves very lucky. We finally got to dinner and had the best meal!

Kaitlin loves coloring so she was happy

Too busy coloring to be bothered with pictures!

Calabash has a HUGE Christmas store that we always visit after dinner. Kaitlin was amazed at the the lights and ornaments. She kept saying BAAAWL at all the Christmas ornaments…. she has a strong Southern accent. It is too cute!

We stopped by our favorite ice-cream place, Calabash Creamery, and had the mandatory photo with the cow. Not a great picture but a memory of a fun day!

Beach Baby

Another day on our private beach!! This was the highlight of the day for Kaitlin, her very own stick!

Kaitlin was not so happy in the morning but she had a blast after her nap and a snack!

IMG_0216

Kaitlin and Kory went “walking “ on the beach… Kaitlin ran the entire way and did not want to turn around. She had so much fun exploring and being outside!

IMG_0217

Kory took this with his phone!! It just makes me laugh

IMG_0220

The hole… kept Kaitlin happy for hours

She spent 45 minutes patiently throwing sand in the hole trying her best to fill it back up!

My pretty beach baby

I told her to smile and she did a super model pose instead silly girl!

Barefoot landing

After a busy day on the beach we headed to Barefoot Landing to eat and walk around. After Kaitlin got some food in her tummy she was ready to explore!

IMG_8562

We ate at Flying Fish for dinner and Kaitlin was so good

IMG_8554

Loving on the cute cow

IMG_8566

Barefoot Landing is on this huge lake and it has really long shaky bridges you walk across. Kaitlin had so much fun an the bridge and really like walking around!

IMG_8573

Kaitlin loved the carousel and did not want her ride to end!

IMG_8586

It was a great day and a fun night!

Blue Suit

Kaitlin was ready to go to the beach on day two and was ready to DIG!

IMG_8591

She went to town with the big shovel and had so much fun helping Daddy dig a big hole! Tide was up and they built a sandcastle with mote. Kory actually built the castle and Kaitlin helped destroy it!

IMG_0136IMG_0137IMG_0138IMG_0139

Kaitlin loving her freedom to run wherever she pleases!
