What a busy few days we've had doing basically nothing!! The weather has been so nice lately that we've mainly spent time at the beach.Yesterday Jack and Nana built lots of sandcastles up and down the beach - there must have been half a dozen or more - each one with a flag (sticks) or two in them and a moat. He had a blast.
Ethan wasn't too sure of the beach andcean the first time he was on it. He became very clingy and didn't want to be sat down on the blanket. Every time I did, he would turn himself around and reach out for me. Then, when holding him, if you tried to turn him around to look out, he would turn around and cling on to me and Nana. I think it was a bit to loud with the waves crashing onto the beach and a bit too windy. Today he did much better!
Last night, Friday, was very exciting for us as they had a Space Shuttle launch at 7:55p. The weather was really clear and we could actually see it from our beachfront timeshare.
We gathered around the TV to watch the pre-launch info and could hear the go - no go for launch check list and hear the space commander give the go ahead to the astronauts. Then we watched the shuttle take off on the TV, then we stepped outside and saw the shuttle flying through the sky. I've never seen a shuttle launch before and it was amazing! Everyone from the timeshare was out watching it too.
This was definitely the highlight of the trip for me - and I think for Jack, too!
Today we just mooched around and then drove down to see a lighthouse down the road. Jack seemed to really like it - although we didn't climb up it - too many steps for a 3 year old!
The boys have really been enjoying themselves and, as you can see, Ethan has been full of smiles for his grandparents.
