Brookgreen Gardens - 124/365

We had a fun filled day today! 

Ed and Pam finally got in around 9:00am. Reagan and Jim hit the pool, while the rest of us were waiting for them. We got them all settled and got ready to hit Brookgreen Gardens. 

Nana, Papa, Pam, Ray, Jen, Reagan and I all piled in the Saturn for the 45 minute ride. I sat on the floor between the two back captain's seats, so we didn't have to have three cars down there. 

We got there and signed up for the 1:00 boat ride. They took you down this little waterway that used to have old plantations and rice fields. It was a nice little ride but a little chilly! They way down wasn't bad, but coming back it was COLD! The weather hasn't been the normal Myrtle weather we usually have this time of year, but it's supposed to be back to normal starting tomorrow. Anyway, we saw a couple alligators and tons of turtles. It was fun!

We got off the boat, and headed over to the butterfly house. We had a great time in there. The butterflies were hanging out everywhere and Reagan got a kick out of the ones that were fluttering around. 

Next, we headed down to the little zoo. It's a real nice path that winds through the woods where they have exhibits of all native South Carolina animals. Our favorite was the otters. There was one that was hanging out in a hammock. We kept waiting for him to jump out, but he was just being lazy. He would stretch and yawn, but wasn't budging from that hammock. It was adorable! We checked out the outdoor exhibit and there, we got to see three swimming around in the water. We just loved them! After we were done at the zoo, we hit up the gift shop before heading over to Drunken Jacks. Papa bought Reagan a little stuffed Otter, she was TOOO excited! She was holding him and showing us how we saw them swimming in the water. It was too funny! 

We got to Drunken Jacks and sat on the back patio while we waited for our table. We enjoyed lots of yummy appetizers. Reagan's favorite was the popcorn! It was a really fun dinner! 

We came back to the condo and got all set in our Disney jammies. Ray and Jenny got them for everybody when we were doing our Zabel family Disney trip in 2012. We never got to take a picture together in them, so we all brought them here. We were just going to hang out and play Pictionary, so we figured it was a perfect night to wear them! We had so much fun playing the game. Some of the drawings were a HOOT! We had a ton of laughs! It was a perfect family fun day! On to day three....
