Weekend Getaway

We took a MUCH needed mini beach vacation to Myrtle Beach this past weekend with Greg's parents.  It was wonderful!!  We stayed at the Carribean Resort, which had several pools, kiddie pools, hot tubs, lazy rivers, etc.  It was very family friendly....I would recommend it to anyone with children.  Brayden enjoyed playing on the beach in the sand, but he wasn't that big of a fan of the ocean after a small wave washed over him at the edge of the water and knocked him over!  We were glad to have so many options of things to do...once he would get tired of one area, we'd move on to the next.  His favorite thing to play with was a giant chess set in the indoor pool area.  He would move all the pieces to one side, and then move them back to the other.  Brayden really enjoyed having his Grammy and Grandpa there, and so did Greg and I!  Brayden wanted to spend most of his time with them, which Greg and I didn't object to : )  We had such a good time, but the weekend went by too quickly.  It was very sad leaving yesterday!  Here are some pictures of our trip, along with a little video of Brayden dancing to the music that was playing by the pool.

Cutting the grass

Brayden LOVES to "help" his daddy cut the grass now.  I let him take his toy lawnmower out a few weeks while Greg was cutting the grass, and now Brayden wants to do it everytime Greg is out there.  It is pretty cute to watch.  He will follow Greg around the whole yard and is just as happy as can be.  Greg is looking forward to the days when Brayden will really be out there cutting the grass.  Of course, by that time Brayden probably will not want a thing to do with it!
