Back in July, we took a Paradise family trip to Myrtle Beach. We rented a house right on the beach and it was the whole Paradise clan along with Uncle Danny, Aunt Linda, Kacie and Trevor from Texas all staying at the house. We also had our friends from Florida and some more Aunts, Uncles and Cousins from NY and NJ staying in nearby hotels. It was such a fun time and so great to see everyone! We spent most of the time at the ocean, jumping the waves, boogie-boarding, and just playing in the sand. It was such good times!
Sierra loved playing in the sand! She especially enjoyed grabbing fistfuls of wet sand and bringing it up to dry sand, not the most effecient method, but fun nonetheless!

One morning while all the Dads were golfing we took the kids to Boardwalk on the Beach. It was a huge complex with lots of shops, restaurants, rides, museums, and all sorts of things to do. We walked around a little, had lunch at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, and the kids went on a couple of rides, including the Bungee Jump (it's not what you think...check out the video!). It was lots of fun but it was also very hot so we couldn't wait to get back to the nice ocean breeze!

Of course, you can't go to Myrtle Beach without playing some miniature golf. Here's Uncle Bobby giving the kids some pointers at one of the courses they played.

The kids also got to go on a pirate adventure. They got all dressed up like pirates and got on board the pirate ship. They had to follow the map to find the buried treasure! Along the way they had to fight off the mean pirate with water cannons. Then they found the tresaure chest in the water. They each got a handful of the treasure and some grog to celebrate..."Down the hatch".

Out on the pirate ship...they really did have a good time!
The pirate ship was docked at The Crazy Sister marina, so we had to get a picture
Of course, we had to get as many family pictures as we could!

Another round of miniature golf inside a volcano!
We made it out of the volcano so it was time for some Icee's

One day, a group went out parasailing. Cory had never been so he went along to try it. The boat ride was a little bumpy but they had a great time anyway!
