Grant and Colton: Family Beach Trip 2012

Last week, we went on our annual family trip to North Myrtle Beach with my entire family. We had a great trip and Grant and Hannah couldn't have had more fun together! Grant literally copies basically everything that Hannah does and loved having 5 days of playtime with her! They both are not huge fans of the ocean, but did like playing in the sand and loved the pool and lazy river. When we were leaving to come home on Sunday, Grant was in the car and said "Where we going Mommy?" I told him we were going home and he said, "No, I wanna go swimming Mommy!" Grant also had fun building sandcastles and looking for seashells. It was great for Grant and Hannah to get to spend so much quality time together and with MiMi and PawPaw.

Grant says some of the funniest things now. Example: He wore a swim diaper a lot and they don't work very well. Grant is at the point now that he tells us a lot of times when he pees. We are trying to get him to tell us before he goes so that he can use the potty, but we aren't there yet...baby steps right? Anyway, we are walking in from the beach and Grant says, "I pee pee Mommy." I say, "Grant, that's ok, you have on a swim diaper." Grant then says, "Pee pee wuning (running) down my egg (leg) Mommy!" Aunt Mary Ellen and I couldn't stop laughing:)

Unfortunately, Grant started feeling bad towards the end of our trip...too much fun, sun, water and sand. He started running a fever and had a pretty bad cold and cough. Thank goodness he is better now!

All in all, we had a great time and made so many lasting memories!
