Over Labor Day weekend, we decided to take a mini vacation to North Myrtle Beach.... We figured this was the last little vacation we'd squeeze in before baby #2 comes along and before we officially become a family of 4! So, after attending an open house for Grady's pre-school on Friday morning, we headed to the beach and stayed through Monday afternoon, which was great! Grady was very excited and LOVED playing in the sand. He loves the water too, but was not all that crazy about the waves in the ocean....which was honestly okay with me. I'm sure Brandon wasn't too excited about the idea of venturing out into the ocean with a toddler and a 31-week pregnant woman who could easily float out to sea if a wave hit her the wrong way. :)
As you can tell by the video, Grady was very amused when Brandon built sandcastles....Well, I don't even know if these should be called sandcastles, but close enough for a two-year-old. His new little obsession is going through and making tunnels with his trains and cars (in anything and everything), which is why he's so excited to make holes in the sandcastles.
We also decided to take Grady to the aquarium while we were there. We never know what to expect with things like this because sometimes we think he'll really love something (and be old enough to appreciate it), and he ends up completely bored and un-interested. Other times, we think something will be a complete dud, and he ends up loving it. The aquarium was kind of in the middle.... He really liked the aquarium tunnel (which we also loved!) and the interactive section (the toy section, as Grady called it). After those couple of things though, he was pretty much ready to leave. This is of course about 20 minutes after we had gotten in and after we had spent nearly $50 for tickets.....go figure. We really enjoyed it though, and he did too for the most part!
And finally, here is a picture of the highlight of the aquarium. Yep, you got it - the gumball machine in the gift shop! So funny!
