What a great weekend we had - and the perfect weather. The hardest part of our trip was the last 15 miles that took us about an hour to get through due to all the cars!!!! Our hotel had four pools, two lazy rivers and a water playground for the kids. Plus it was right on the beach. We got in late Friday so basically only got dinner and beach stuff for the boys. Saturday we spent the morning on the beach teaching Jack how to body surf. He picked it up quick and had the best time -- he even loved it when he had big wipeouts! He cried when we had to leave to go get lunch! But we took a few laps around the lazy river and had a blast.
For lunch we walked around the main boardwalk area and found a burger place. Then we headed to the arcade to play. Lucky for Jack, two different people gave him their stacks of tickets so he was able to get lots of little prizes for playing!
After lunch we headed right back to the beach. Ethan had the best time playing in the sand (and eating it!). He even liked the water, as long as the waves didn't get to be too big. It was so nice to play in warm ocean water (I'm so used to the ocean in November where it's a bit more chilly). Again we had to drag Jack kicking and screaming out of the water for dinner and bed.
Sunday we did another hour on the beach before checking out of the hotel. Then we found a miniture golf course and had a great time playing there before lunch and heading back for home. The big news for the weekend has been the big steps Ethan had made. He is now crawling a lot more on his hands and knees and pulling himself up. I'm so excited to see how well he is doing.
We're down to our last week here in North Carolina with Daddy. It will be hard to leave and strange to be back in our big home. But luckily Jason will be home for Labor Day weekend along with Granny Annie and then Grandma Christy shortly thereafter.
I have almost 300 photos to download once I get home so there will be lots of post of just pictures once I get back into the swing of things!
