Myrtle Beach 2009


The Beach: the sound of waves crashing on the shore, gentle breezes, the smell of salt air, digging my feet in the sand, feeling the water cover my feet and then sink into the sand as the water goes back out, feeling the warmth of the sun on my body, the smell of suntan lotion, watching the sunset, watching people, building sand castles, playing with family, watching movies, playing putt-putt, jumping in the pool or lounging in the lazy river, and going out to eat. These are all things that we experienced this past week at N. Myrtle Beach. I have a lot of pics. so I'll add some more during this week.




Our first night there was my mothers birthday. We went out to a seafood restaurant for dinner and then had cake back at our place. This is Suzie's family from left to right on the back row: Mike, Angie, my Mom, my Dad, Suzie, Zach, Justin, and Kevin. In the front is Michaela, Macey, and Hannah.

Our friends the Cooks who served in Zambia happened to be at MB our first weekend there so as they were heading home they came by our place and took us to lunch. Then we got to hang out together for the afternoon. It was fun catching up with them again after being away from them for 7 months.


Kelsey and Hannah reunited again.


Papa and Macey


Michaela is a great little gymnast. She entertained us a bit out on the beach.

During our trip home there has been jokes being played mainly on my father because he put an alarm clock which sounded like a rooster right at my sisters ear early one morning. So the girls in our family have been busy playing tricks on him. One of the things they did at the beach was to hide small boxes of cereal in his room under his pillow or in his drawers, even on some reynolds wrap in the toilet. One day Papa tried to get the girls back with big boxes of cereal under their pillows. They laughed so hard! They thought that was pretty funny!


Zach and Macey watching cartoons.


One night several of us showed different tricks that we could do.


Uncle Mike putting the girls to bed-doesn't look like they will be sleeping anytime soon.


Macey riding the waves.


Frisbee was a favorite past time.




My sister used to be a NC State cheerleader. She showed us a cheer and then her husband imitated her. We all got a good laugh!


Zach enjoyed playing the guitar while we were at the beach.
