fall break beach fun

For our fall break this year, Daddy & Mommy took us to Myrtle Beach to stay in Oma's beach condo for a few days.  We had the best time...playing on the beach, swimming in the pools, relaxing in the hot tub, going to the pier, etc.  And, all the fun activities weren't busy like in the summer...big bonus!!  We had such a fun time together.

Hot tub with Daddy... 
...and the pool!

Sisters...Averie & Emmersyn
Sweet Averie
Sweet Brady
He was digging a hot tub for on the beach! :)
Sweet Emmersyn

Brady enjoyed feeding the birds...until they got a little too close for him.  He decided to not feed them again after that.  Too funny!
Brecken loves to be buried in the sand.
Of course, then Emmersyn wanted to be buried, too. :)

Can you see the alligator that he made in the sand?
Uncle Todd, Aunt Helen, and their kids joined us for a couple of days.  We had a lot of fun hanging out with them.

Game night in the condo.
We spent one day at the Wonderworks Museum, enjoying all sorts of activities.  We love this place.  Here, Brady is learning about electricity...
...and then, he & Averie learned how to work together to spin this motorcycle in a circle...over and over again!
Emmersyn learning about pulling and weights...
...and Daddy & Brady shoot some hoops!
Then, it was the bubbles...Carter put a bubble around Brady...
...and then, Averie did it to Emmersyn.
Best friends...waiting to ride the roller coaster simulator.

Emmersyn wanted to try out the brain wave activity game.  This picture just cracks us up...looks like she is really concentrating hard. :)
We also got to do the obstacle course...so fun!

Daddy & Brecken...he was finally tall (& brave) enough to go, but he did get a little hesitant in some higher spots.  He loved it, though.
Meanwhile, Emmersyn was too busy walking on the moon.
We ended our time at the museum with a fun game of laser tag...
...& loved it!
Then, it was back on the beach for some more fun.

They loved it!
The condo is near that pier.  On the pier is a little restaurant and an arcade.  We enjoyed that one day.  We had a great time.

Emmersyn & Madison enjoying the car ride....
...while the older girls played Deal or No Deal.
Carter & Brecken were cashing in on their tickets...
...and Daddy & Brady were trying to win more!
Emmersyn would get so excited...even if she only got one ticket!
Then, it was time for another day on the beach...and warm enough to boogie board.  (Well, warm enough for us kids.  Daddy & Mommy thought that the water was freezing.)
Loving the beach!
Daddy helping Brecken dig a really big hole...
...and then Daddy helped Emmersyn learn how to boogie board.
She loved it!
Over...
...and over...
...and over...
...and over again!
But, it was worth Daddy's energy for all those smiles!

Brecken loved riding the waves in, too.
All smiles!
The older kids were relaxing in their "hot tub."

We always enjoy getting pizza at King's Pizza.  It has become a tradition every time we go to the beach.  We had such a wonderful time at the beach, and we are so thankful for the fun memories made!  A great fall break for sure!
