Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and QsOTD!

This year we went down to Myrtle Beach again for our family vacation. The kids, Rene and my mother-in-law all packed up and headed for the beach on Friday. We spent the night in Durham, NC to break up the 10 hour drive. So thankful that my mother-in-law came with us. She got to see the kids and their craziness and was a HUGE help! We had a lot of fun and came home with some great memories. Izzy was a daredevil and wanted to be in the water from the minute we got there. We brought along some boogie-boards (I thought would only be used in the shallow parts) that Rene and Izzy used to go riding some waves. This girl is fearless, she would get tossed around pretty badly, but she wanted to keep riding the waves! Ricky on the other hand, did not want anything to do with the water until about Thursday. Friday he felt a little bit more comfortable with the waves that he kept throwing himself on the wet sand, looking a lot more like a beach model than anything else! We ended up going to Broadway At the Beach again this year a couple of nights. The first night we went, it started pouring as soon as we got out of the car, so we ended up in the Build-A-Bear store and a store called "It's Sugar!" The other two nights we did get to enjoy this place by having dinner and having the kids go on some rides (a big hit with both of them). We enjoyed a lot of quality time with the family!

Both kids had some pretty funny quotes. One that sticks out the most was Izzy's response to Ricky having a melt down. She is now gotten in the habit of calling her daddy by his first name, don't know why, but it sounds funny!
Izzy: "Rene (with a annoyed voice), why don't you just put Ricky to bed!"

Here is one when Rene was getting frustrated with the kids yelling on the way home:
Izzy: "Calm down daddy, take a deep breath, it's all going to be okay, it's not a big deal!"

On Friday night Izzy wanted to return to Broadway at the Beach here is what she told Rene:
Izzy: "Here's the deal. After dinner you clean up, we go in the car and then ... what was that place called?"
Rene: "Broadway at the Beach"
Izzy: "Yea, broadway at the beach, and then we go on the rides, again and again. That's the deal! Okay daddy!?"
Rene: "No deal."
Izzy: "Awwwwwww (with a whiny voice), but daddy we have a deal!"

On the Thursday before leaving for the trip Izzy says to Ricky:
Izzy: (in a disappointed voice) "Chico, here is not the deal. We are not leaving for the beach today."

Ricky is now putting two-three words together
Me: "Ricky, did you poop?"
Ricky: "yeah, poop, eawh!

Ricky yelling for his grandma by her first name at the store: "Emy (her name is Noemy)."
Ricky yelling for mom at the beach: "Ima!"
When some takes something a way from Ricky: "Hey! That mine!"
And his favorite phrases: "Snack" and "mo, mo (for more, more)."



Here are some of the pictures. The beach ones aren't that great. The day that I remembered the camera was cloudy . Plus I needed my other lens for these shoots:(

This is what Izzy would do. She would throw herself onto a wave


Let the wave carry her


And do it all over again and again and again!


This is Izzy and Rene on the boogie board





Fearless!


Movie night! Both of them wanted to be with daddy ALL the time:)
