Myrtle Beach

Allan, Marlene and I made it to the Beach at about 1pm. It only took us 6 hours. We unloaded the car and checked in and then took a dip in the beautiful warm atlantic ocean. Allan went in for his first time to day and rode the waves with us. Marlene has been doing it for yrs but this is a first for Allan. The water is sooo nice! After the sun went down we went back out to the pool and swam under the moon and stars! Wow fantastic. I relized I forgot my journal so I'm really glad we have Wi Fi and the girls set up this blog. I'll just write here instead. Irene and Mary made it safely to Utah and have Irene all ready to go for Monday classes. They had a great trip accross the USA as you can see from some of the photos. Now Irene has a car and can drive to see family and different schools when she starts working. More tomorrow.

Since when have we allowed FLUFF in the household?

It is causing some issues...

Allan and the FLUFF!!!!

So tonight at about 10:15 PM allan was going thru the kitchen in search of food.... what he found was PURE SUGAR about 10 GRAMS of it and it was in the form of marshmallo fluff!!! I took it from him and put it back into the cabnet, dad said "allan why not try some cambridge?" allan said no and ended up not eating. just thought mom would find some comfort is the fact that there is still some rules in place in the house.

Above is allan at approx. midnight if he had the FLUFF!!!!

aunt hellen bath!

I just wanted to comment on Alex's description of the fluff and slim jim. I honestly laughed so hard that I was crying. Keep it up. I'm glad to know Marlene and Allan are safe from making bad tasting decisions while Mom is gone. Any exciting Aunt Helen stories?

Mom and Irene, you guys are having an amazing journey. I am so jealous! :) I hope that you are as excited to see Mount Rushmore as I am for you to see it. PLEASE TAKE TONS of pictures for me. I am glad the drive is smooth.

I love all of you. xoxo e
