Myrtle Beach 2010 ~

We just returned home from our annual family trip to Myrtle Beach. We had a wonderful time! The weather was awfully hot, but thankfully the beach offered much relief! The heat index was 108 some days, but we managed to keep ourselves cool. We drank a LOT of Gatorade.

Uncle David joined us for the weekend. We went to the beach, and then out to dinner. He convinced Dennis to try King crab legs for the first time. He loved it! Joshua tried the crab cakes, and Dakoda got the shrimp. Uncle Deeeeeee and Adrienne split a plate of the huge crab legs, and passed on the yummy desserts that night.

We also took our annual trips to the Melting Pot, and Myrtle waves - a couple of our favorite places while on vacation. We went mini-golfing, and also took the kids to see "The Karate Kid". It was a great family vacation.

One thing was surely missing from our vacation though . . . BELLA! She went to stay with Miss Claire at the Puppy motel though. This is a home based business run by a woman who has three of her own Maltese pups! Bella didn't know what to make of it initially, but quickly seemed to bond with the pack by the time we left. When we returned to pick her up she was elated to see us. At first, she didn't seem to recognize us (she wasn't expecting us it seemed), but within a few sniffs she realized it was us and she bounced & squiggled for joy! It was so nice to have her back with us. :)
