Family Fun Days – Sunday, May 10 to Saturday, May 16, 2015

Our daughter, Julie and her family came down from Raleigh, NC to Ocean Lakes Campground in Myrtle Beach so we could spend some Family Fun Days together before we head north for the summer.  Tropical Storm Ana tried to hamper our fun, but that was not going to happen;o))

Mother’s Day, Sunday May 10th

Today, we all headed to Great Grandmom’s to celebrate Mother’s Day. 

We enjoyed a fantastic brunch in her beautiful dining room.

Happy Mother’s Day!!


Monday, May 11th to Saturday, May 16th

On Monday, Bill and I moved Baby to Ocean Lakes Campground. 

It is not our favorite type of campground, but it is perfect to spend time with the KIDS!!

There was MORE than just beach fun!!!

We had several chances 
to win Steve a “I Won Bingo At Ocean Lakes Campground” T-shirt.

However, even with 8 of us, 
we couldn’t win a single game, but we had lots of laughs:o))

Better luck next time, Steve!!

Another favorite was Golf Cart Rides!!

Emily and Samantha were very patient with Grandpop.

They tried to teach him how to play UNO by THEIR rules ;o))

Accordingly to the girls, he is a very slow learner !!!

  5. If I had to sing for my desert, I'd never get any. Everyone would flee and take the desert with them... :cD

  8. Really wonderful pictures Nancy. That last one is a real keeper. Might look good on Great Gran Mom's wall. It is just marvelous that you have such a terrific time with your family. Not everyone is that lucky. The beach is such a great place to spend time together. That's a fabulous alligator, did the girls make it? Sorry to hear Bill can't play by the rules. LOL What did you and Bill sing for your desserts? I want a replay next time we're together. For sure now you won't ever get any cherry pie without a song. :-)
