Summer - Week Five

The week we returned from vacation was Noah's second week at Camp Manitoqua. This summer he moved up to the BB cabin.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's a cute picture of Wyatt in his pajamas.

On the third of July, and what has now become our yearly tradition, we went to see the fireworks in Lockport. They always put on a good show.

And on the fourth of July, we did our other new tradition - to watch the local show at our friend's house.

 

We also had some fun doing our own "fireworks" on the driveway.

Myrtle Beach

We rented a condo on a golf course in Myrtle Beach. I searched high and low for a place that had a perfect room for the kids: bunk beds for the boys and a day bed for Charlotte.

The rest of the place was pretty cute too. I especially loved that the kids had their own bathroom.

And we all loved the huge, screened-in balcony.

We came to Myrtle Beach for the beach, so we headed there the very first day. To avoid crowds, we chose to visit Crescent Beach. Our condo came equipped with some nice beach chairs, toys, towels, and even a cart to carry everything in.

We spent a few hours playing in the sand and splashing. We did not have any shark sightings.

Beach Selfies

Later that day, we strolled around Barefoot Landing while we waited for the fireworks show.

CeCe's new puppy had to get in a shot.

Some red crayon melted on puppy's paw a couple days later, so now he is known as Red Paw Puppy.

Ice cream time.

Finally, it was time for the fireworks show. It was a pretty good one and we were very close to the action.

And yes, there were alligator signs posted around every body of water.
