We weren't sure how much of her swimming techniques Maddie would remember from last year, but after about 5 minutes, she was back to her fishy-self. She put her goggles on and got right in! We're so happy to have kids who enjoy the water as much as they do.
Longbay has a great childrens area that the girls like. We went there on days where it was really warm because it is in the shade for most of the afternoon.
We spent as much time as we could on the beach. I think the girls preferred being in one of the pools, but we were able to get them in the sand almost every morning.
The great thing about Myrtle Beach is all the other fun stuff to do once you've washed up from the day. We went to the HUGE Bass Pro Shops to get the girls some fishing poles. Caroline made some friends. They followed her from their tank everywhere she went.
Next up- Putt Putt. We found a pretty cool pirate themed one up in North Myrtle.
And Maddie really wanted to go into the shark store. Caroline wanted nothing to do with it. We kept trying to convince Caroline that it was just a regular store once she went into the sharks mouth and that she could even close her eyes walking in... but she wasnt having in. She said, "I'll go when Im a big girl." So we waited til Grammie and Grandad got there and took Maddie by ourselves. She loved it.
And back to the beach we go...
The week went way too fast as usual and I already told Jim we have to go back one more time before the summer is over.
