One of our favorite traditions is our annual trip to Myrtle Beach with Mommy's side of the family...from playing in the sand, riding the waves, and the shaving cream fight to the Beach Olympics, Croakers, and dinners out each night. Such fun memories each year...always a great time...and this year, 2019, was no different!

Cool story...Daddy & Mommy were sitting at the water's edge while Emmersyn was making a "sand pie." When she asked what could be used for decorations on the top, Daddy & Mommy told her to use seashells. So, off she went to find some shells to use for the top of her "sand pie." She came back, showed Mommy, and said, "Is this a good one"? Mommy looked down, so this "seashell" pictured below, and immediately showed Daddy. Yep!! This girl had found a fully intact shark's tooth just along the water's edge. Daddy & Mommy have kept it for her to have one day as she gets older to show her what she found on the beach! So cool!
(This is show on Daddy's hand for size.)

One night at the beach, our family headed to Barefoot Landing to enjoy dinner and walking around the shops. Daddy & Mommy let us to do the jumping activity, ride a few little rides, and get ice cream afterwards. We all LOVE the jumping thing...even right after eating. It was a fun night!
This girl loves a carousel.

More fun in the sun...time to bury a kid!

...and Stephanie joined the fun, too!
Another night's dinner fun was going to Medieval Times. This was Emmersyn's first time, but we had all been before. We enjoyed the show, and dinner was yummy!
She enjoyed it, too!
Emmersyn even got the rose thrown to her from one of the knights. 😉 Another fun night!
