first of all, i would like to thank my sister for . . . well . . . just being herself.  without her, this post would not be possible.  :)   (melissa, you know i love you.)

recently, my family and i spent some time at good ol’ myrtle beach.  besides the 7 hour trip (which was supposed to take 4), a beach house filled to the brim with 19 people (a great source of activity, not so much with personal space), and it being senior week (i think every high school graduate was at the beach that weekend), we really did have a good time.

here are some verbal blunders and funny quotations that i particularly enjoyed in our three day stay.

melissa (while chewing a rather large chunk of beef jerky): “mmm . . . i love beef jerky!  (pause) is it made of ham?”

melissa (while waiting for the elevator with my dad): “so, what room are we in?”

dad: “412.”

melissa: “so, is that on the third floor?”

ben: “okay, that’s it.  i’m NEED to find a bathroom . . . or a pier . . .”

rachel (while running towards her 1.5 year old, who was heading towards the backend of the family yorkie with a strategically-pointed finger): “somebody grab ella!  she’s about to give the dog a colonoscopy!”
