Last Wednesday, Matt, Carly, Grey & Cam made the 3+ hour trek from Chapel Hill to Myrtle Beach to spend part of their vacation with us. We were fortunate to be able to stay in Granny Sledge's beach house during our time together since our house might have been a little tight with all of us here. This also allowed room for my parents to come one night and plenty of things for the kids to do. We spent a lot of time on the beach since we were so blessed with gorgeous weather. The boys (G&C) loved playing in the sand and the water temperature didn't deter them from splashing around in that either. Drew had a good time just napping in his pea pod on the beach. We also took a trip to a local park where Grey and Cam were more intrigued by how dirty they could get in the black sand than they were with the park swings, etc. After getting good and dirty, they went back to the house for lunch and beach time before naps. We also drove up to the farm one morning where the boys went on a short nature walk and got to ride around in the "rhino" and look at the farm. We left there and went to the gym so the boys could run their hearts out before nap time. Grey LOVED the gym and ran back and forth across the floor 50 times......they both bounced on the tumble track and trampolines and got the courage to jump in the pit. When we weren't on a 'field trip' or on the beach, the boys enjoyed bubbles in the yard, playing with their cars and balls inside or hanging out with Liza and Margaret. Liza was SO good with the boys and it will be fun to watch all these kids interact as they get older. Margaret didn't hesitate to hug and kiss the boys goodbye. Matt, Carly, David and I did get a dinner out Friday night thanks to Mom and Dad taking care of all three boys. I think Dad held Drew the entire time and Mom wrangled Grey & Cam through playtime and bedtime. We went to Aspen Grill and enjoyed an incredible meal.....my mouth is watering just thinking about it. The Raynor clan left Saturday afternoon and David and I decided to stick around through Sunday. We had a relaxing Saturday night and such a great, relaxing Sunday. We couldn't ask for better weather the entire time and really enjoyed being together with both sides of our family. Here are a few pictures from the week.....all of them can be found at www.littleboydrew.shutterfly.com
