We spent Labor Day weekend with our friends in Hilton Head, SC and enjoyed a lovely beach stay.
Jack was so excited the first night that he woke up every two hours on the half hour like clockwork asking if it was time to get up! Maybe that's why I came home from the vacation so tired.
Jack loved having Myleigh and Melania to play in the water with -- and we could barely keep them out of it.
Ethan and Wyatt were more content to just play in the sand and occasionally let the water run up to their knees.
It was quite a bit of stuff to haul across the street from the condo to the beach but at least it wasn't a long walk.
One day for lunch we ventured out to The Salty Dog and found these parrots for the kids to enjoy.
Wyatt has some big shoes to fill ... but he's trying his best to do just that.
I say it often, and it really is true, his cuteness is his saving grace!
Jason spent a weekend playing with his new tree stand to get himself ready for deer hunting season with his bow and arrow. Jack loved watching him, until he got bit by fireants. Poor kid came running down off the hill onto the back deck fast as a flash screaming the whole way. Then he woke up the next day covered from head to toe in red itchy bumps. We took him to an after hours clinic only to find out he had a bad allergic reaction to the bugs AND strep throat. He never complained of a sore throat or had a fever, but Ethan and I have both been on antibiotics for awhile so I guess it shouldn't have been too big of a surprise. The biggest surprise is that Wyatt hasn't gotten sick at all. Normally you just look at him and he comes down with an ear infection or a cold!
Wyatt truly is all boy and loves anything cars, trucks or sports. He often goes out and hits balls off the t-ball stand we got for Jack (who really could care less about it). The other day, Ethan joined in and they had fun playing together. I just had to watch out and make sure they didn't hit each other (on accident or on purpose) with the stick they were using!
Here is Wyatt, my copycat, sitting on the box the same way Ethan does to watch TV. I had never seen him do that before and it was so cute.
And here is the king of our castle, looking down amongst his people, taking stock of everything!
