Toes in the Water

On June 9th, we packed up our stuff and headed for the coast!  Our first stop was McLeod Farms, where I really enjoyed the tractors.

After a very long ride, some car trouble, and some more riding, we finally arrived at the beach house!  I stayed with Uncle Corey while Mom and Aunt Mere went to get groceries.  They brought back dinner, too. It had been a long day of traveling, so we rested.

Sunday morning, we were ready to hit the beach!  I thought I would drive...

I was so excited to play in the big water.

We played in the water and sand for a long time!!

We went inside for lunch, and then I slept until dinner time.  We went to Bubba's Fish Shack.  I had fried pickles!

After dinner, we got some hot Krispy Kremes!  YUM!

On Monday morning, we were ready to go again!  Mom did my hair in a fancy way to keep it out of my face.

The beach of so fun!

I loved playing in the waves!

And playing with Brenna, Kaelin, and Macie!

Mom always made sure I stopped for a snack.

After lunch, it got nasty and rainy, so we stayed in and had pizza for dinner.

On Tuesday, it was very nasty and rainy all day.  We didn't get to go to the beach.  We went to Broadway at the Beach instead.  We went to an upside down building called WonderWorks.  There wasn't a lot for me to do, but the bigger kids liked it.  I liked the wind from the hurricane shack.

And I loved dancing on this big piano!

My favorite part was the bubbles!

After we got completely SOAKED in the downpour, we went to lunch.  After lunch (and a wardrobe change out of my soggy clothes!), we went to Build A Bear.  I was so excited to stuff my new friend!

I put his heart in, gave him a bath, got him a Gamecock shirt, and named him Pankake, just like Jey Pankake!

When we got back to the beach house, Grandmom and Granddad were there!  Wahoo!!!  We stayed in for dinner since the weather was so weird.

Wednesday morning, the weather was better and we hit the beach once more!

The sand is almost as fun as the water.  Almost.

Mom got a frozen lemonade for me for my snack.  It was pretty good!

After lunch, I took a long nap until it was time to go to dinner.  We went to California Dreaming.  Then we went to Painter's for ice cream!!

It was so yummy!

Thursday brought another fun morning on the beach.  I loved it when Mom played with me in the ocean!

On Thursday afternoon after some fun on the beach, Grandmom and Granddad left.  I took a nap and when I woke up, Granny Kat and Bobby were there!  No way!  We got ready and headed over to Broadway at the Beach again.  We walked around for a while.  Uncle Corey let me ride on his shoulders.

When it was time for dinner, Uncle Hoppy showed up!  How did all of these people know where to find me this week?!?  We had dinner at a very interesting place.  Mom said it was a Japanese restaurant.  This funny man set our table on fire and cooked our food on it!  Whoa.

Friday, I played on the beach with Bobby!

After lunch, I took another one of those long naps!  We went to dinner at Damon's.

After dinner, we went to Captain Hook's for some golf.

It's hard to play from a stroller...

We had a great time with everyone on Friday night.

On Saturday morning, Mom said vacation was over and we had to head home.  We packed up and said goodbye to the beach house.

On the way back, we stopped at McLeod Farms again for lunch.

In honor of the Gamecocks, I showed everyone how to do the Fear the Fish salute.  I was ready to watch some baseball when I got home!

We had a great vacation with our family!!
