Myrtle Beach - Part 3

On Saturday morning we went to the breakfast buffet at our hotel where Anson ate all sorts of manly breakfast meats. Grady had waffles :) Then the boys headed into the hot tub for a little bit (Anson just dipped in again) since it was cool outside.

Then we got ready to head out to Broadway at the Beach, a fun area of town with rides, restaurants, shops, and museums. We fed some huge fish when we first arrived...

Then it was off to the aquarium. Grady also did this with Nana last year but was very excited to return.

Anson started to get quite cranky after a while, but Daddy helped a lot by taking him on walks around. He did enjoy the bubble though.

So did Grady

The boys loved the slide where you come out of an anglerfish's mouth

After a nap we returned to the area for some ice cream

Then it was off to the rides! Grady wanted to ride the huge pirate ship, which looked quite scary

He loved it (they are at the top of the picture)

Meanwhile Grandpa and Anson struck a pirate pose

Then Anson went on his first real ride EVER! And he loved it. He cried when the ride ended.

So he went on another

And another

Then G rode the motorcycles and pressed his button the ENTIRE time. The button made this loud engine sound and was driving the girls in front of him crazy - priceless.

Some teacups

We were almost o ut of tickets and thought Anson should get one more spin on the boats, since they seemed to be his favorite. He was quite happy at first...

But then freaked out when it was time for the ride to start - I guess since he wasn't with Grady. So they stopped the ride to let him off and Grady got to ride instead. Poor little Ans.

That evening we ate dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. Grady and I took a short walk before dinner and found this (of course)...

These few are from Friday evening (out of order here). We took a walk on the beach and Grady wrote everyone's names in the sand.

So that's about it, though I will post some video later. We had a very fun trip, despite some craziness. We enjoyed our time with Gaga and Grandpa as well!
