Beach Trip

On Thursday... In the wee hours of night we set out on a journey!  A third annual journey.... that gets more and more interesting EVERY year.  You see we always go to the Myrtle Beach to celebrate my hubby's Birthday.  We have learned over the years.... that it is a must that we arrive at the beach a day early & prepare ourselves for the havoc that is getting ready to take place.

My husband's friends... (alright, alright, I claim you as mine too.... ) are one of a kind.  There is a magician, an alcohol forcer, a soon to be lawyer that could argue with a sign post, and a guy that must be on drugs from the Jersey Shore!  Just kidding about all of that,... but when they get together it is serious business.  So serious that in the past we have come very close to getting ejected from Walmart for riding children's toys, throwing balls, & doing cartwheels in the middle of the isles.  STRANGE!  The normal other halves (responsible female caretakers) hideout multiple isle away in hopes that no one relates us as being part of there rambunctious group.

This year... we ALL survived & had a great time.  We love getting together with this group & do not get the opportunity that often.  Michael played lacrosse with these boys in college 
& over the years they have found wonderful lady friends that are a great addition to the mix.

I caught a few snapshots this weekend.. but I must say that they are surely not candid, haha!  The pictures make this group look "normal".... What is that saying "You clean up well"?  Although it is natural to be a buncha hooligans....... when we are all together~ we have learned to be on our best behavior in public (most of the time)!
