We filmed our first "one take." If your not familiar with a one take it's a full clip without any editing. The whole chip from start to finish. This was the only option I had if I wanted to get a video up today. After a 17 hour road trip this all I left in me. Hope you enjoy our first One Take!!!

Vacation Rental Tour || Myrtle Beach Vacation (Day 8)

We stayed at the Prince Resort in Cherry Grove, North Myrtle Beach, SC. It was our home away from home for our week long vacation. We had a kitchen with full size fridge and stove, 2 bedrooms (One with a king bed that Dean & I used, and one with 2 queen beds that the teenagers used), 2 baths and a cute little living room with a pull out sofa that was perfect for the boys. We also had a private balcony with an amazing view of the Atlantic ocean!

OUR VIEW

Love our view of the pier. It was so nice to watch the fishermen.

The beach was hardly ever packed.

It was nice to able to spread out, and not feel like you were top of everyone.

What a beautiful sight!

Loved this night shot of the pier

Mini Golf Anyone || Myrtle Beach Vacation (Day 7)

Today was a much better day. We were able to take Noah back to the water park since our trip was cut short yesterday. They really had blast on the slides and in the pools. After the water park we went to played mini golf, which was incredible! Myrtle Beach has some of the worlds best mini golf places and the one we went to took us on a train ride. What a great way for the boys to start their 1st mini golf experience!

Seizure At The Water Park :( || Myrtle Beach Vacation (Day 6)

Today was such a scary day full of tears and worries. Noah had what we thought was seizure, but later that night he had fever. After speaking to his neurologist again she said his symptoms were most likely from the fever and NOT a seizure! PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY!! Even though we had a scare they really enjoyed themselves at the water park!

Boardwalk || Myrtle Beach Vacation (Day 5)

We ventured out to the Myrtle Beach boardwalk! We had our ups and downs today. They lost a water bottle to the waves, and needless to say that was pretty devastating. Not only was were they upset that the bottle was gone, Caleb was convinced that if Noah went into the ocean he too would be taken away. After 45 minutes of cranky kids we were able to finally turn those frowns upside down while we looked for seashells. On the up side we got to see a fish up close and personal, eat some yummy ice cream, and had fun nighttime swim!

We stayed in North Myrtle Beach, but this is a view of Myrtle Beach right by the boardwalk. It was nice, but North Myrtle Beach was much nieces for families.

The boys LOVED making a sand castle with their daddy!

Pool Time || Myrtle Beach Vacation (Day 4)

We thought the pool was going to be stressful with the boys, but our resort had two pool areas, and found one that worked out perfectly for us. They loved jumping, and playing football in the water. We spend most of our day at the pool!

Feet in the Sand - Myrtle Beach Vacation (Day 2)

Finally we were able to put our feet in the sand. Our first day on the beach was so well deserved. It has been years since we took a family vacation, and the beach was perfect choice for us. The boys loved the waves of the ocean, and enjoyed building sand castles.

Road Trip - Myrtle Beach Vacation (Day 1)

Although it took an extra 4 hours we finally made it to Myrtle Beach South Carolina! The boys did very well for a 15 hour road trip with limited stops. Caleb did go a bit coo coo crazy, but all in all it wasn't that bad.
