Our second day, Sunday, we had originally planned on leaving. We decided, though, that everyone was having such a good time, we would stay through, and leave on Monday, instead. You should have seen Koen's face when I told him that. In fact, both Cyndi and Randy asked if we would leave the kids while we went to Myrtle Beach and then picked them up on the way out. Joe said that if they didn't get to go to the beach, they would be pretty unhappy, but when we asked if they would have stayed, Koen said maybe. That is a pretty good indicator of how much fun they were having there!
We had a great breakfast, bacon, eggs, and toast, and then hit the Tool Shed. It is a COOL place- pretty much anything you would need, they have it. Joe picked up a 10 AMP extension cord, so if we need to hook up to a house, the amperage would be enough not to cause the cord to heat up. We also picked up a few do-dads- carpenters pencils and a sharpener just for them, a couple of momentos (not counting the mini- pillow pets that were given to them as a gift from C. and R.)
We decided to go to a bar-be-que place for lunch afterward. It was almost empty when we got there- the lunch rush was over- so we had a nice relaxing meal. Of course, we were so full, we didn't really need to eat dinner!
Then we stopped at Sportsman Lake. We took a train ride and then Cyndi, Randy and the kids went out on the paddle boats. It was, again, HOT. I was melting in the shade. (I think I am more of a temperate weather person, in case you were wondering!) Both the adults over heated a bit- so we stopped on the way home to pick up a sprinkler to run through, and then water the garden in the back of the house. We hung out in the yard, listening to the thunder and lightning and fireworks. One of Cyndi's dogs got so freaked out by both that he went over the fence and came for help. He spent the night in the garage and seemed to feel better.
We got up the next day, got organized, and after many hugs and a great breakfast of French Toast and sausage, cooked by Cyndi, we headed out to South Carolina.
