That's right, folks! Just when you're getting tired of winter, what could be more fun than an indoor water park in February?
On Thursday we put the kids in the car as soon as they got home from school and drove down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We do have friends down in the area, but as a number of family members have just been recovering from the flu, we decided against sharing our germs with people we actually like.
I tried to get some pictures of the water park, but...
The lens fogged up in the humidity :(
The suite was beautiful! Two large bed rooms, a full kitchen and living area and an ocean view too! Just the kind of place that makes you want to lick your plate...
and find all kinds of neat, new hiding places, like this one:
And this one, again:
When you're on vacation it is like an unwritten rule that you should try new food combinations!
And it is absolutely mandatory to sleep late at least one morning.
And when you are awake and in your suite, don't forget to enjoy the view!
Aside from a couple of us fighting post-flu sinus infections, we all had a wonderful time! We all spent hours in the water. Iraq rode the huge water slides at least a hundred times, Broadway found other teens to play water basketball with, and The Skink loved trying to swim with Mommy or Daddy supporting her under her chest. In short, none of us wanted to leave, but the kids had to be back in school on Monday.
Speaking of school, The Skink must be paying attention. The other day I gave her a pencil and some paper to keep her busy, and she wrote this:
While to some it may look like some scribbles on a piece of paper, Mommy can tell you that she WROTE HER NAME! Yup - totally bustin' with pride here!
