This year for spring break we met up with the Bywater family at Myrtle Beach. We had a great time! We hadn’t been to Myrtle Beach before, but we plan on going back. Between our 2 families we have 7 kids (pictured above). The next few posts are from our trip.
We had a fun easter egg hunt at the beach after dinner one night. The kids put the eggs they found in their cute buckets. Robyn had put their names on their buckets with cute vinyl. They loved finding eggs along the sand, in the sand castles, and along the dunes.
Then we attempted family pictures. We got a few good ones. :) After the pictures we let the kids play in the waves until it got dark. It was a fun evening at the beach.
One of the fun things we did at the Beach was to celebrate Oliver and Owen’s half birthdays. This is a Bywater family tradition and it was a lot of fun. We built sand space ships and had a water balloon and squirt gun fight. Owen and Oliver had a light saber battle. Then we watched a movie and had popcorn. The boys loved it. Owen said to Oliver, “This is the best day of our LIVES!!!” Hooray for half birthdays!
Robyn is an amazing and creative mom. She had so many fun ideas. One of them was these rice crispy treat nests that the kids decorated. Yum! We also colored eggs and had an Egg Derby. This is where you roll eggs at each other until they crash. The egg that doesn’t crack is the defending champ. The kids decorated cute bunny masks and we had a glow in the dark dance party one night before bed. It was a party! You should come to the beach with us. :)
Sunday between sessions of conference we walked along the beach and collected shells and rocks. Later in the week we painted them with sparkly paints and put googly eyes on them. They turned out really cute and the kids had fun doing it.
