Myrtle Beach

We spent all last week in Myrtle Beach with the entire Baxter family!  It was a great trip where we all relaxed and enjoyed fun in the sun.  Unfortunately the first day we were there, I got the stomach bug that Jeff and Aiden had the week before.  I stayed in bed all day and thankfully no body else got it.  The weather was great while we were there, with the exception of a rainy and windy Tuesday.  We took the kids to the Children's Museum of South Carolina where there were hundreds of buttons and lights.  They both loved all the hands on activities; their favorite was the kitchen where they "cooked" Jeff and I lots of different foods for a half hour.  The most exciting part of every day for the boys was riding the elevator.  They both took turns pressing the buttons and were so excited to ride on it.  Anytime we said we were going somewhere, they would ask if we were going to ride on the elevator.  After we put the kids to bed each night, we enjoyed our adult time where we played poker and reminisced on all the pets the Baxter's had.  The conversations led to laughter and some unusual impressions of the animals (Collin).  I'm always amused when Jeff and his brothers talk about their childhood.  Aiden and Ty loved the beach, where Jeff built them enormous holes and mountains to play in; they could have stayed out there all day, but Ty and I took naps each day.  The guys played golf and all played poorly, but had a good time nonetheless.  The girls went shopping, but dropped quickly from being in the sun all day.  We all enjoyed a dinner out at local restaurant and had some yummy seafood.  It was a nice break from reality and we are glad nobody (Sarah nor I) went into labor. :-)
