Myrtle Beach

We have just returned from a wonderful four day vacation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was cut one day short due to Tropical Storm/ Hurricane Hannah. We surely didn't want to ride out a hurricane on our vacation. The girls had a blast. We went back to the same place again as last year. It is just too good a deal not to partake. We mostly played in the pools and the ocean. We did do the aquarium and a little park on Broadway at the Beach.
Emma is so crazy. She will go on ANY ride they let her on. She and I rode the swings and she scared me so bad!!! I guess it's being completely helpless if she were to need me. And maybe the fact that I have a fear of heights. She was waving her arms all around and wiggling in her seat. She managed to clang her bar a couple times. AHHHHH! I was trying to not be a stick in the mud, but I know I kept saying over and over again, "OH Emma be still. Emma hold onto the bar. Emma stop waving at Daddy. Emma be still." Emma was saying, "Ohh mommy I can see all the city from here. Hi Daddy, Hi!! he-he he-he."
Emma has also mastered a somersault in the pool, which she did over and over and over again. She is a very good little swimmer. She also learned a back flip and a hand stand in the pool. Myah, on the other hand, bless her little heart, is quite content if water never touches her face again. She is my cautious child. I love the differences in my girls. Myah will see something kind of crazy or wild and say, "Oh Emma you would love to do that wouldn't cha!" And Emma would reply, "Yes, but Myah you would be scared so you wouldn't like it at all." :)
I won't bore you with any more stories. Here are some pictures to enjoy from our vacation.

I'm so glad you had a good time! I'm working on posting my beach pictures too, but you beat me to it :) We ended up coming home a day early too because of the rain and because we all passed the stomach virus around! What a way to end the trip :) Love you lots, friend!
