Preparing for MB

This time next week we'll be relaxing on the beach in Myrtle Beach, SC. Cade has been very interested in scuba diving for a long time and since he's too young to scuba, we got them snorkel sets. They were so excited to try it all on. Don't know if we'll go on a snorkeling trip or not but at least they can use them in the ocean.

Brett is showing Cade how to breathe through his mouth and not his nose. Cade assured Brett that he already knows everything there is to know about snorkeling and scuba. Who is this kid that thinks he knows it all? Must be his father's child!

This will take you back a few years to high school. We made spirit gifts for all of the minis and petites in dance company. It started out lots of fun for Maddi and she was so helpful. She would get me the candy for each poster and sign her name. As we continued she was not so excited to help anymore and guess who got to finish them? It was really difficult to find the miniature sizes of candy. We couldn't find the mini size boxes of hot tamales so we had to put them in a ziploc and write hot tamale on it. Classy, huh? When it's Halloween I'm going to stock up on the mini sizes of candy just in case we do this again next year. Of course we could have bought the full size candy boxes and bars but we made 22 gifts and I'm too cheap to buy that many full size candies.

Not looking forward to the 16 hour drive to Myrtle Beach, but we are looking forward to visiting with my dad's sister, Lynn, in Tennesee on the way. We are also looking forward to spending time at the beach and watching Maddi dance. But what I'm really excited about is getting me some good food in my belly! Chick-fil-A, Sonic, Abuelo's. Mmmm....good. Chick-fil-A has a thing on their website to track your starting and ending points and they'll show you Chick-fil-A's on the way. There are 25 from here to Myrtle Beach! Too bad the closest one to us is over 3 hours away! Maybe that's a good thing.
