The day began in the most amazing way...Ella and Anna who normally avoid Zac at all costs decided he was awesome and played with him incessantly! Unfortunately, Chuck and I were obligated to go listen to a timeshare BS session, so Bethany and Zac graciously offered to keep the girls. Those two hours must have been a breakthrough for Ella and Zac especially. By the end of the week, we almost had matching "BFF" airbrushed t-shirts made for the two of them!
Then they decided to switch their attentions to Stella.
We spent the morning at the beach. Let me tell you, the early morning is the absolute best time to relax at the beach - there are no crowds, and it is still nice and cool. We all had a great time.
Ella had this problem all week...poor girl. ;)
After the beach and some relaxing, we decided to head out to a local recommendation: "Ella's of Calabash"! The name was why we chose it among the other recommendations, but we soon found out the food was AMAZING!! Starting with the absolutely delicious hush puppies, it just kept getting better. Chuck was adventurous and ordered the soft shell crab - to be eaten whole. He liked it, but I just couldn't eat something that looked like it was staring at me.
To add to an eventful day, with full bellies, we headed to mini-golf. We chose the dinosaur course, though there were about 20 different themed courses on the "strip" in North Myrtle Beach. Chuck was very serious about playing the game correctly, but the girls just wanted to hit the ball. Finally by about hole 10, he gave in and just let them go.
Finally, to finish off the evening, we donned our glow bracelets and (after a mini rave party), headed off for a nighttime stroll on the beach.
