Summer Beach Trip!

We took our summer beach trip at the end of June and stayed at the Cooke's condo in Calabash/Sunset Beach, NC for 8 nights! Granddaddy and Mimi were with us and Grandma came down halfway through the week to spend some time at the beach also.

We planned several special things throughout the trip for the boys to enjoy. Of course, there's the obligatory beach days, where we spent the morning at the beach just letting the boys do whatever they wanted! Play in the sand, play in the water, eat the sand, splash each other, etc.. They have a pool at the condo, so we spent many evenings in the pool, also. Did we ever mention that our boys absolutely love the water! (Not like they were born under water or anything like that!)

We took Chandler to his first real movie (at the movie theater). We took him to see Toy Story 3 in 3d. He did great and really liked it! He didn't really want to wear the 3D glasses the whole time, but he still enjoyed it! Here's a picture of him at his first movie. Kinda dark, sorry...



I took my road bike down to the beach, thanks to an early birthday present from Lindsay (a bike rack). I got to spend a lot of time on the bike and on the golf course!

Grandma went with us and we took the boys to the Dixie Stampede in Myrtle Beach. Both boys loved watching the horses and we all enjoyed the show. Could hardly get Chandler to eat - he was too interested in the horses!

We also went to the aquarium!




Another cool thing we did was go to the water park with the boys! We were a little concerned that Chandler wouldn't be allowed on some of the rides because of his height, but they let him do a lot of the rides which he absolutely loved! Again...the boys could not get enough of the water!




And, of course, the pictures of the boys on the beach!






Interesting expression in this one:
