Sawyer's First Beach Trip

Thursday morning, we woke up early and headed to Myrtle Beach! Our friends were able to stay in a condo for free and invited us to come along. It was a short trip, but a great one!

Sawyer was SO good on the ride there. Not one tear...and I didn't even have to break out Fresh Beat Band! One cute thing I want to remember is that every big truck he saw driving beside us, he called a "trash truck."

His bag of paci's kept him occupied for
a long time!

 When we got to the condo, Lance and Brian went golfing. Amy and I took the kiddos to the very, very cold pool! Sawyer loved jumping off the side and letting me catch him.

There was a nice patio off the living room that Sawyer and
Claire loved to play on. Here they are playing drums on
the cooler with shovels!

Playing "Trouble"

 This was Sawyer's first time seeing the ocean. When we walked out on the sand and Lance put him down, he didn't like it. He wanted to be held...guess he didn't like the feel of the sand on his feet. But once we got down to the water, he was a happy camper.

Holding Dada's hand...first time those toes have
touched the sand and ocean water!

Happier about the sand now!

I hope he gets to enjoy the beach as much as I did when
I was growing up!

He LOVED the water!

Big wave! He never cried over the waves
knocking him down or water in his eyes.

Brave little guy...kept going deeper and deeper.
I can't wait to take him back this summer when
the water is warmer and I can take him out further.

He called them chickens!

Grammy gave him this chair a long time
ago...it's PERFECT for the beach!

Picking up shells.

I bought him a new bucket and shovels, but
he wasn't very interested.

 After we left the beach, the kids took naps and Amy and I went to the outlet mall. I got Sawyer some cute new things from my fav baby store! When we got back to the condo,we all got dressed and went to a seafood buffet....so yummy!

SO in love with this precious boy!

Our little family. Love my boys!

Crab legs!

Playing in cars at the outlet mall!

This is what happened when we put some
quarters in the car and it started moving.

Pennies in the fountain!

Watching a movie with Claire before bed!

We were so pleased with Sawyer on the trip. He was very well behaved, slept well, obeyed well, ate well...made mommy and daddy have a much more enjoyable time!
