We spent a week in North Myrtle Beach with Tommy's family in mid-June. The vacation included Tommy' parents, his sister Kathryn, her husband Jeff, and their kids Lexi and Max, and Tommy, Lyla and me. We had a great time. The first night, we celebrated Lyla and Kathryn's birthdays. Kat's birthday is the day after Lyla's. As always Lyla thoroughly enjoyed eating her cake.
Lyla's cake had a cute little "1" candle on top. I won't tell you how many candles were on Aunt Kathryn's cake. You can try and count them.
Lyla got some great gifts and her and her cousins played with them all week at the beach. She got a Fisher Price Lawn Mower, and lift the flap farm book, a drum, maracas, stuffed elephant and kitten, a Golden Book, and cute clothes.
Lyla thoroughly enjoyed the ocean. She crawled around in the shallow end. When a wave came, she sat up and splashed. We had a hard time keeping her from rubbing sand on her face and in her eyes, but other than that, the beach was a success.
She took her morning naps on the beach sitting on our laps.
We bought this cabana for Lyla to sit and play under. It has UPF in it, and folds up and down so easily that I can do it myself when I go to the beach while Tommy's at work.
The condo we stayed at had plenty of pools - one outdoor pool, one indoor pool, two kiddie pools, two hot tubs, and a lazy river. I thoroughly enjoyed the lazy river and Lyla floated around in it for a long time. I know this is probably the only year that she will be still enough in her float to be lazy with me in the lazy river.
Here is Tommy's sister's family all on one float.
Lyla with Nana Avis in the kiddie pool. She could walk around in the kiddie pool while in her float. Too cute!
We went to Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach. Lyla enjoyed looking at all the fish.
Lexi and Max leaving the aquarium in style.
All the kids loved playing with Papa Keith on the bed. I guess it's OK to jump on the bed when you're on vacation.
We had a great vacation and sure missed everyone when we got home. Lyla enjoyed playing with her cousins. She and Max really bonded during the trip.
