  • Beach Week '08

    Beach house.......

    So Sarah drove Amy, Walter, and me to our grandparents' house in NC on Thursday.  We spent Friday in NC, and late Friday night my mom and dad came.  On Saturday morning we left for Myrtle Beach, SC in my mom and dad's van, and left Sarah's car at my grandparents' house in NC.

    We got there at about 2:30 pm.  Mama went to Costco to get dinner and Sarah's birthday cake.  Dinner was party sandwiches and snacky foods.  There were more than twenty people there, and during the whole week we ate three whole Costco cakes and one Sam's cake.

    We had karaoke night, so that was fun.  I sang Think of Me and Phantom of the Opera with Amy, I Dreamed a Dream with Uncle David, and Castle on a Cloud by myself.  Then we all sang some patriotic songs.  Then the we sang lots of other songs.  Then the last song was YMCA.

    We also had bingo night, and I won two pens and a ring.  It was really fun.  Last year I was the last person to get bingo.  Actually, I didn't even get it.  Someone else got bingo for me (because like five other people were playing for me, plus myself).

    Oh yeah, and the treasure hunt was really fun, too.  We also went mini golfing.  I only went once, and I didn't really like it.  One day it rained, so the waves were really big.  That was cool.  And Uncle David rented a kayak, and that was fun.

    Then we left and my family went to my other grandparents' house, and Sarah got her car and drove home a couple days later.  Everyone except Walter and Sarah went back to my house.  My mom picked Walter up later that week.

    I'll put pictures on the next update.  Carrie
