2011 Annual Waves Trip

Every year for the past 4 years we have vacationed with Brandon's family for a week in Waves, NC.  We always look forward to this trip because it is filled with good food, long days in the sun (which leads to good naps :), and lots of fun with family!

Cuddle time with Daddy!
 Owen loves loves LOVES water!  He would stick his face in the pool and try to swim.  I could sit him down on the beach and he would play with sand for up to an hour!


 Owen took several naps on the beach.

 It was so nice to go soak in the hot tub after a long day of hard play.
 Owen and his newest cousin: Nathan
 Brent decided he wanted to potty train on vacation (figures).  So we scattered some treats throughout the week to reward him for being successful.  This boy is obsessed with trains right now.  We found out about this toy store at the beach that is known for their Thomas collection.  Every Thursday they have an activity where you can go paint your own train.  We took Brent to do this and afterwards he played in this room filled with Thomas gear and a tv playing Thomas movies.  He was in HEAVEN.  Cried his eyes out when we left.
 As always, Da's birthday fell during this week so we celebrated by going out to eat and coming home for cake.  This is all of the grandchildren except Owen.  He had already crashed.
 Brent had a lot of fun playing with his cousin Noah when he was there.
 I swear, Daddy always gets the good cuddles.
 I know I'm partial, but I could seriously just eat him up!
Now that all our summer vacations are over, I am officially ready for Fall.  Bring on the cooler weather!
