Vacation part 3

The most recent vacation we were able to take was to Myrtle Beach, SC.  Some very generous friends of ours the Millers invited our family along on their family vacation.  This was perfect because their grandchildren are the same ages as Ashlynn and Everett and they are really good friends. So over the 4th of July week we packed our van and headed to South Carolina.  I will say even though we went south it was a nice escape from the 100 degree weather we have been plagued with all summer long.  I really dislike NC summers and cannot wait for fall.  We stayed right on the beach with pool access which was absolutely perfect for 4 kiddos 5 and under.  Hunter traveled ok he is not a fan of long car rides which means for now all traveling will have to be done as a team!!!  However, he did wonderfully staying in a new place, being on the beach for hours at a time, and he LOVED being in the pool.  He also loved all the extra attention from everyone else too.  The weather was warm but like I said not the 100 degree weather they were having back home.  The ocean was perfect everyday we were there but 1 which was great because I am a fish and Ihave come to discover I have 2 little fish babies who love the water as much as I do.  Being on the beach for the 4th of July was pretty awesome I would say it was the 2nd best 4th of July I have had.  I spent one 4th when Ashlynn was a year old in Houston, TX they have one of the biggest firework shows in the states and it was simply AMAZING.  If you ever get the chance it is well worth the trip to Houston for the 4th of July.  Anyway, the fireworks on the beach in SC were pretty good many of the hotels and people on the beach put on huge firework shows.  There was literally tons of fireworks going off in both directions as far as the eye could see.  This went on for over an hour and Ashlynn LOVED them.  Cian like the fireworks ok and Everett and Anya were not interested at all.  Hunter slept through his 1st 4th of July fireworks show.  The trip was wonderful and we are really grateful to the Millers for inviting us along on their family vacation.
