We left on Sunday for a few days at the beach. We have been to other hotels in Myrtle Beach, but this was our first time at Dunes Village. We loved it so much we plan to go back next year.
The weather was overcast the whole time we were there. We loved the cooler weather and lack of sun beating down on us.
It looked like this most of the time we were there, but it didn’t rain.
JDaniel loved running and searching for shells. I keep thinking about the theme song from Chariots of Fire when I watched him run.
I am not sure what was happening in this picture. I just love that JDaniel’s arms are out and my husband’s are on his hips.
We spent hours digging in the sand just like a construction machine.
Some days we would head down to the beach for a walk and end up sitting and playing in the sand.
JDaniel loved the indoor water parks. There was one in each of the hotel’s buildings. JDaniel loved the sub and the waterslides. My husband and I weren’t thrilled with going down the slides over and over again. JDaniel was up for going down them four and five times in a row. With fewer people in the waterpark in the fall we were able to climb the stairs and do just that.
He loved when the buckets would dump on my head. He encouraged Dad to help the buckets dump.
Mostly he just loved being in the water. We were alway near him. He had no fear of the waves or the water.

What a blessed time. Thank you for sharing your photos and words, and, with them, a glimpse of the love in your heart.
I loved your pictures! I’m impressed at how fearless he is. My 3-year-old is a little timid around the water. Randomly, I used to have a penpal from Myrtle Beach.
What a great place to stay! We love Myrtle Beach.. We go there (north myrtle – Cherry Grove) every year and have a blast!
With children, all you really need is a little sand and water!
Beautiful pictures! It sounds like you all had fun on this trip.
What a great place to stay! Looks like a blast:)
Looks like fun 🙂
How fun. JDaniel totally needs an iPod with Chariots of Fire on it. He can borrow mine next time he goes 😉
I SO wanted to take my kids to the beach this last summer and it just didn’t work out. I’m hoping to go early spring. What fun!

Yay for Myrtle Beach! The rain has been a little bothersome but less heat is sooo welcome!
Looks like a wonderful day at the beach. I love family time on the coast. Though, for us, we’re on the west coast and the ocean looks a whole lot different over here. You’re pics remind me of time on the coast off of Virginia, with family. Thanks for sending me down memory lane and so glad it was such a great day! :>
Those are fabulous pictures!!!
What a lovely beach. Whenever we’re at the beach, it usually means we’re on vacation. The kids just love it.
What a great trip my dear! So glad you had such a nice time with your family.
You must have had a great time. It’s amazing how much fun such a little guy can have a the beach, just running around and having sand in his fingers. And not to forget the waves. ‘Timan’ loves to sit at the beach and the waves come up to his breast.
Looks like you guys have had a great time:))))) We always go to the Gulf for vacation, but Myrtle Beach looks beautiful!!!
I love that he loves the ocean and is not scared:)!!!
how fun!

Awww it really looks like he had a blast! That’s so cool that you the indoor water parks!

Oh, what a sweet age, when digging in the sand was enough to entertain.
What a great trip!! The water parks look perfect!
great pictures! i haven’t been to myrtle beach in forever and I really miss it.
Looks like a lovely holiday! I can’t wait for our beach holiday on the Gold Coast this summer.
What a great time. We recently took our kids to the ocean for the first time and they loved it.
That looks like such an amazing trip. Those pictures are just priceless!
Fun! The indoor water park sounds like a lot of fun. We couldn’t afford a vacation this summer, so I am living through others’ blog posts. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve always wanted to visit Myrtle Beach. Looks like a great trip!
=)
Ah, I haven’t been to Myrtle Beach in 20 years! Looks wonderful!
Yay… you were so close by us! Glad the rain held off for you!
Looks like a great time! I love going to the beach!
Looks like a wonderful vacation! I love your pictures, they tell such a story!
We were at the beach that same weekend.
Sadly, while we were there, my husband and father-in-law had to rescue a teen girl who was drowning in the ocean. She passed away Monday. Please be careful in rough water!
As former MB locals, we know when to avoid the water at all costs.
Thanks for linking this one up to Picnesday Deirdre! I love the pictures here 🙂
