myrtle beach-part 2

While we were at Hard Rock Park, Paul and I ended up riding the swings with Anderson, since Anderson had already ridden the swings several times alone, and Paul ended up not feeling so well after that.

Bennett enjoyed riding the carousels at both Hard Rock Park and at the Pavillion.

Because we had just eaten lunch, I opted out of the "spin" rides. Here are Paul and Anderson preparing for a very rocky, twirling taxi ride.

As much fun as we had at Hard Rock Park, the boys actually enjoyed racing remote controlled race cars at Broadway at the Beach the most. In fact, Paul won five races in a row, which meant he was forced to retire for an hour, and then Anderson ended up being the champion. Forever the competitors, they wanted to race these cars every night we were at the beach. The owner was kind enough to allow Bennett to "drive" while his dad and brother actually raced.

Here is a Paul getting ready to shake hands with his opponent after he secured the championship. Can you see the joy on his face???

Of course, during our trip we had to eat seafood, being that we were at the coast and the boys are absolutely crazy about shellfish. So, since we were staying at Anderson's Ocean Club, we decided to eat a few blocks up at Bennett's Calabash Seafood. The boys ate their weight in crab legs, and Bennett was very fond of hushpuppies. Only he didn't understand that he didn't need to put the entire hushpuppy in his mouth.


Even though we had plenty of "outings", we did get in plenty of beach time. My favorite part of the entire trip was waking up early to go run and workout in the gym and then take a long walk on the beach before the boys were awake. Here is a photo of one of those mornings.

And here are some photos of us enjoying the sand and sea. (Of course, Bennett did not like the sand at first. He refused to walk on it.)




Finally, we enjoyed taking a few black-and-whites of the boys on the beach. Here are a few...
