Myrtle Beach Part 2

Wednesday night we headed out to Barefoot Landing to see some tigers. There were also a couple of monkeys there. The evening plans were to go eat at Broadway at the Beach at Yamato's Japanese Steak House. We went to eat and then the kids came across all sorts of cool things to do.

Monkey wearing pants. You could get your picture made with the monkey or a tiger but it cost around $70.00 so we opted to take our own pictures and just tell you we saw them.





While out at Broadway at the beach Tyler decided he needed to try his hand at rock wall climbing. There are only two issues with this #1 He is a little afraid of heights and #2 the wind was blowing pretty stiff that day. But Tyler persevered and made it to the top.

Tyler at the top trying to decide how to let go and push the button.



It was a long climb and once he got past the top of the building behind the wall that's when the wind really started to play a part in it.

OH! by the way did you notice Tyler was climbing the wall with no shoes? Well, that's because he lost one of his shoes in the water while feeding the fish you will see later.

Cade was so cute patting this statue on the back.


The kids decided that they wanted to go back to Barefoot Landing because when we went the first time the tigers were not out, so we went back. After seeing the tigers we walked around and came across this trampoline contraption. The kids loved it!


Tyler being put in his harness.

Even Cade got in on the action. Here he is waiting for them to tighten the cables so he can jump.

He was such a big boy.....

look how high he went. He really liked it, in fact he keeps asking me whem he can jump again.



Lulu's gymnast side came out while she was jumping....

SHE DID BACK FLIPS!!


Tyler super high in the sky!

Tyler had afraid of heights therapy this week.

This is beside where Tyler climbed the rock wall and he told me to take a picture because he thought it would make a really cool pic.

While at Broadway we came across a place to feed the fish so we got a quarter out and started to feed the fish.... we had no idea what that was going to be like....




WOW!!! Look at all those fish, they were huge and a mazillion of them.



Quick family shot .... Just to prove to the kids when they get older that we were all there.... Usually one is not in the picture beause they are taking it.(usually me)

Cade really enjoyed his supper as did everyone else.


JUST BEING SILLY!
Lulu or is it LULABELLE!

Tyler has been working out. Cade.... I'm not so sure WHAT he's been doing!

Myrtle Beach Part 3

When we were ready to leave I took a few pictures from the balcony on each side of the condo.
Here they are.

Straight down on the back side.



The condo was decorated contemporary. Pretty cool.



They had been doing work on this pool and they filled the pool the day we left.

It was too much fun!!
(everyone passed out on the way home)



We had a great time, thanks Grandma Cockarelli for inviting us!

CAMPING!!

Last weekend we went camping with some friends from church. We went to George L. Smith State Park outside of Metter or in Twin City GA. We had a great time!
--- We camped in the Pioneer sight which has two water spigots and no electricity and is in the middle of the woods, far away from the other camp sites. The bathroom facilities are"pit" toilets or ...an outhouse. It is a group sight.---


Everyone was exhausted when we got home!




These are all the kids that went on the camping trip.

Next: Madison holding Abigail, Morgan,Charlie holding Lehne, Mason and Cade

It had great picnic area right in the middle of the sight.

We got a little worried when we had to travel down this path to get to our sight.

But after all the traveling to the campsite down a couple of paths this is what we came upon.(Minus the people at the time) It was very private we were the only ones out there.

This was our families home for the weekend.

Some of the other families slept in these "cabins" which are basically screened in porches minus the house. Really cool!

There were two cabins and four tent pads with a common area in the middle that had the picnic tables and the fire ring.

The sight was basically a clearing in the woods.

Scott and Tyler getting ready to go fishing. We had a total of four canoes there and we had our own private boat launch.

This is the "facilities."

Lulu coming back from the bathroom notice she has a lantern. You had to have a light with you because you wanted to make sure there were no critters that were joining you.

This is the inside of the bathroom.Yes that's all.

See the hole in the door that's why you take the flashlight, plus it's kind of dark in there.

This is the path down to our boat launch.(I think Lulu is pouting about something.)


At the end of the path we found a big gopher tortoise. They are protected and you don't find them real often.

Notice the plate under his neck that helped us to identify him as a gopher tortoise.

After all the kids got the chance to see him the boys took him back to his home.

We had lot of great food while we were there even watermelon which I think Cade enjoyed!

more watermelon eating

Lulu found a new friend. Dalton thought she was great.

Now this is brave!
