NORTH MYRTLE BEACH: POOLSIDE

You could find us at the pool most of the time.  Why?  You soon shall see!  

FINAL DESTINATION

NORTH BEACH PLANTATION

LAST STOP...

Super educational and extremely hot stop!  Little Man really enjoyed it.  That is after his sister helped him get over his fear of walking inside the ship.  I am not kidding.  Little Miss encouraged him every time he got scared to move to the next level.  Thank goodness for that little girl!

ONE TREE HILL

After leaving team camp, we made our way to Wilmington to stay for the night.  They call it the East Hollywood because lots of films and movies are filmed in this area.  One of them being, One Tree Hill.  Did I mention that I love this show?  My own modern day version of my mom's favorite, Knots Landing.  I DVR the show and mom used to video tape hers with a huge VHS tape.  My method of recording takes up a lot less space.

I had to snap a shot of some of the "hot spots" on the show cause I am weird like that.  I thought I saw one of the HOT cast members, but quickly realized it was my husband.  Lucky for me!

TEAM CAMP

Brian's team got to visit three campuses within their  4 day trip...Duke, Wake Forest, and North Carolina.  Now, visiting college campuses is right down Brian's alley, so he had the week jammed packed to maximize the overall "camping" spirit.  Little Man got to be a part of everything.  The boys are so good to him.  Thanks to them...he now knows how to do the "John Wall."  This is quite comical to watch.  Gotta get it on video.    

These are the highlights I caught on camera during the last part of their camp beginning with my ABSOLUTE favorite.  Little Man is laying on his bed in one of the college dorms at NC.  I mean.  Really?  Don't you want to jump through the picture to kiss that little tan face!  Mmm...so precious!

Yet another favorite with our good friend and coach, Mr. FOP.  This man married one of my very best friends from college.  They met each other through Brian and me.  The story goes a little something like...Coach FOP was in the heat of the game...rallying his team with his assistant by his side (that would be Brian) when a hot chick caught his eye.  He looked up at me, I mean the girl sitting next to me and his heart began to melt.  He didn't know her name or even her age, but knew he wanted to marry her.  Miss C saw him looking up at her and felt instant chemistry.  They emailed, phoned, fell in love, got married, and had a baby.  The rest is history.  

Watching a video about NC before touring their basketball museum...pretty impressive...guess they'd have to be since Michael Jordan went there!  

Meet Rosie...she was Little Man's personal chef during team camp.  See...Little Man is melting hearts everywhere.  

LITTLE MISS's VERSION of TEAM CAMP

Treading Our Way

A few weeks back,  Brian took Little Man with him to team camp with the big boys.  To say that LM had a blast is a complete understatement.  He told me that this little two-three day trip was one of his favorite summer activities.

We tried to coordinate team camp with our vacation, so that we wouldn't have to make a double trip down south.  We arranged to pick the two of them up on our way to the beach, but first we had to get there.  It proved somewhat difficult with all of the rain, storms, and issues with the GPS.  We got to one area where we were at a dead stop.  What in the world?  This is what we saw and then had to "tread" through the water.  

This was what was running off the mountain causing the huge flood of water.  I couldn't let this slow me down...I hadn't seen my baby boy in three days...I would have swam through the water to get to him!

BBALL CAR WASH

Brian was able to get his players into the North Carolina basketball team camp.  From what I understand, that is a big deal.  Big deal = BIG MONEY!  To help raise some funds, the boys had a car wash.  This was hilarious and a good time.  As usual, memories of my own childhood rushed back to my youth group in Arizona and Oklahoma.

HEY!  My wingspan is longer than yours...

This is one of the coaches helping to wash a car.  Note he is kind of flying solo.  Where are the players?

Oh, oddly enough, they are sitting inside of the car allowing him to do all the work.  What makes this even funnier is that he is washing HIS own car.  Gotta love it!  

Did he just say that?

Brian has this way of saying things that are hilarious.  Sometimes the word of saying is totally wrong which makes it even more funny.  Like when we were in the NICU with Little Miss, he started reminiscing about Pinocchio.  When he said the word it sounded like P-NO-COE.  I could go on and on.  The list is endless and timeless.  This particular night, I needed some help shucking corn.  He told me that he would rather pull his teeth out than shuck corn.  We laughed and then our friend, Shannon jumped in to help.  Miss Shannon is always helping us in some shape or form!  Love her!

Also helping out that night was Brian's Dad, Tim.  Our garbage disposal went haywire! 

Is this what it has come to?  The family that needs help all the time?  That's not so bad.  At least we know that we are loved!

PX90

I am sure you have heard of PX90.  Some friends of ours are encouraging us to give it a try.  Couldn't help, but laugh when I glanced over to see this...

YES that is Brian eating Texas Sheet Cake while watching the workout video.

I can almost hear the trainers yelling through the TV,

"Hey, BUDDY.  You have to put down the for fork for this workout to be effective." 

UPDATE:  We never started this program.  I bet you can guess why!  

BBALL SUMMER CAMP

As you know, my husband is the boys' varsity coach in our town.  He holds a camp for the little ones every summer.  Little Man has been going to it since he was three.

We ended the week with a swim party.  Two of our favorite girls stopped by.  I wonder why.

Oh, now I know why!  Meet part of Brian's team.  :)

Love these boys.  They are so good to our kids!
