First Day at Myrtle Beach


 The boys were excellent in the car.  They used the wireless headphones and listened to episodes of  Arthur and Phineaus & Ferb.  They had to sit through a stop at the Honda dealership to check out why the van was "bucking" during our starts and stops.  Ryan enjoyed the stop immensely because he escorted me to Target and picked out Star Wars toys.  :-)  

 The kids were all in the pool the first day.  They loved the water slide and the water slide attendant (Sherry).  She gave Ryan lots of tips about swimming - "scoop and kick" she would yell as soon as he hit the water.  His swimming improved a ton on this trip.  Thank you Sherry!  ;-)
 The ocean was warm and they all jumped right in.  They enjoyed showering the sand off when they walked back to the pool.  (We didn't tell them that the beach was closed the day before because someone was bitten by a black shark.  The evacuated the ocean once while we were in it because the lifeguard saw fish jumping.  It's supposed to be a sign of shark/predators in the area.)  We didn't see any!
