Monday August 6th

Today started off a little earlier around 7 with some coffee on the balcony until the kids woke up. After breakfast we headed down to the beach to set up the compound. We spent most of the day in the waves or under the tent. The kids built a few sand castles and it was a race against the tide. Headed in for some lunch and then back out to the beach. More surfers today. Some were really good and the others just sat on their surf boards and watched. Headed in around 330 to get ready for dinner. Tonight we drove up to Little river to a place called Capt. Juel's Hurricane restaurant
It is located next to the Sea Screamer’s dock
and we saw them come in after we had ordered our food.
As we watched them walking up the dock, we noticed them all stop at one section of the dock where a fishing boat had just
unloaded a shark that appeared to be 5-6 foot long. The kids and I headed down to get a better look and actually took a picture before heading in to eat dinner.
I ordered the seafood platter,
Mandy had surf and turf,
Walker had pop corn chicken and Sloan had chicken Tenders. The food was good, but the service was alright but our waiter was a hard one to find at times. After dinner we headed back south for another round of putt-putt. We tried the new Molten Mountain’s outside course.

This course also had a indoors course looking for that rainy day business. The course is somewhat easy for the most part I was able to shoot a 39 (tied with Mandy) but I think I saw the ball roll around the lip of the cup 4-5 times. After golf we headed down through North Myrtle Beach and stopped when we saw the HOT light on at Krispy Kreme. 3dozen doughnuts(and a smoothie) we were back on the road, hopped back on Grissom Parkway, down 17 to 544 and to the house. Tonight the kids made a presentation that my mom, brother and the four grand kids had been working on since last Halloween. It was a book that combined Star Wars, Wizard of OZ and Get Smart. We sat and laughed at the pictures and captions for an hour. But soon it was time for the young and old alike to head to bed to get some rest and see what tomorrow has in store for us.
