Wally and I had a wonderful opportunity 2 weekends ago to get away for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary - lucky #7!!! We went to Myrtle Beach while Gigi and Poppy watched the kids here at the house for us. Oh yes I said a child free weekend. What did we do you ask? Well we stayed at a hotel on the beach, went to the pool, had drinks in the lazy river, went to the beach and had wonderful dinners out. It was so relaxing and just what we needed. Man is it great when the biggest thing you worry about that day is whether you can find a chair by the pool and where you want to eat dinner.
Us at Joe's Crab Shack. We really enjoyed it. The crab legs were great!
Enough said!Here are some great pics of the boys!!!
This hair just makes me LAUGH!
Cole and Copper enjoying some floor time.
Who let the lion in?
The boys playing together in Cole's room. They are such buddies.
The boys riding the Whale at the waterslides in EI.
Yep, that's Parker going down the water slide ALL BY HIMSELF. This is a pretty big water slide and it took a little convincing for mom to agree to it (basically Wally and Parker saying come on mom it'll be OK). And it was. He probably rode that waterslide 30 times.

Father's Day this year turned into a weekend of fun. We went down to the water slides in Emerald Isle first then headed to the camper for naps. It was then that the ocean air easily convinced us we should stay the weekend. We enjoyed playing in the pool, riding the golf cart and walking the dock. Hard to leave but we had to get back as we hosted a cookout for the Dad's (Wally, Poppy, and Granddad). It started pouring so our cookout came indoors. Wally cooked some AWESOME Mahi and we enjoyed everyone's company.

Our new toy. I found this cool blow up barrel at Target for $20. When I saw it I could not pass it up. Let's just say Wally and I even took a few turns rolling around the yard. The people walking their dogs were definitely getting a kick out of us as they walked by.
BLUEBERRY PICKING!!!
Parker finding some blueberries.
Guess these are not going to make it to the bucket!
Man look at all those blueberries! Scary thing is that we've all almost eaten all of them in a week. Guess it's time to go back.
Nothing like a good ol' popsicle to cool you off.

Gigi, Poppy, Parker, Cole and I went blueberry picking last Friday. It was our first official time and it was a lot of fun. Quite a bit easier than strawberry picking too. It was great filling the buckets and our bellies as we picked. We went early that morning but it still got hot very quickly. Can't wait to go back.
