We left on Thursday morning and arrived in Ocean Isle around 12:30 - Nana and Grandad were there waiting. Noah slept for about an hour in the car so we weren't sure what to expect with naptime. We had lunch and immediately went out to the pool to play (we had one at the house where we stayed!).
Andrea and Savannah got there a little bit later (Sean drove separately to drive down his boat) and they joined us at the pool, too.
Thursday night, we made tacos for dinner at the house and celebrated Nana's birthday with chocolate cake, ice cream, and presents of course! A few weeks ago, Andrea and I took the kids to Lundie's to get professional shots of Noah and Savannah done. We framed a picture and gave it to her for her birthday! Here are a few of the proofs from the shoot....
On Friday morning, despite an overcast sky, we headed out to the beach to play! Here's Noah in his get-up. He looks sad cause he was ready to go and we weren't! :-)
Savannah wasn't quite sure about the sand and didn't want to put both feet down! Too funny.
Noah and Daddy played and played in the sand. That made for a nice relaxing time for Mommy! :-)

When we came back to the house for lunch and nap on Friday, we discovered Noah's favorite thing of the weekend - the outside shower! He was so excited playing in there and also enjoyed the hose, too. He was so funny running and squealing.
After nap on Friday - Noah wanted to sit next to Savannah and hold her hand. They are so cute together.
We took lots of pictures of them sitting together but this was the last one! :-)(don't worry, he didn't actually get her but I thought this picture was hilarious)
More pool/shower/hose time on Friday afternoon and Noah was worn out by dinnertime. Here he is watching the Jungle Book while we were grilling burgers and hot dogs for dinner.
Saturday morning we lazed around for a bit and Savannah decided she hadn't slept enough! :-)
Looking at pictures with Aunt Andrea
Then it was back to the beach to play some more!
Noah (going through the 'mine' phase) said 'My Daddy' and had to sit on Waylon's lap, too.

Saturday afternoon, Andrea, Sean, Savannah, Nana and Grandad drove down to Little River to take out Sean's boat. Waylon and I stayed back while Noah napped. I spent the whole time at the pool and Waylon napped then went for a run. When everyone got back and Noah woke up, it was back to the pool again!Noah is doing really well with swimming. He has no fear and loves to jump off the side of the pool. He's learning to kick and use his arms, too (those swim instructor years are coming back to me!). We are planning to take some lessons this summer so I'm really excited about that.
Floating with Grandad
More time with the hose. :-)
Last night, we drove down to Calabash for dinner and met Phyllis and Clarence there. It was so nice to see them - the last time we had was last fall in Myrtle Beach! Group pictures after dinner....
This morning, we played at the pool a little more, packed up and headed out. Noah slept the whole way home and we got here around 12:30.This afternoon, Noah and I went over to Maddie's house to play for a bit and we went out to get Mexican with Janet. Frank. and Maddie for dinner (always an interesting feat with two toddlers!).
Noah was very tired tonight and it didn't take much to get him to sleep! We had such a fun filled weekend and really enjoyed spending so much time with family! Now it's back to reality. Have a great week everyone!!
