The GOAT Trip || Day 2

We woke to sunny skies on Day 2 and that was all we needed to head

outside a grab a seat. DH made us delicious breakfast to tie

us over for a long morning beachside! I {might} have already

been outside and had to go back up to eat.

Except this guy - this is his definition of vacation.

Plain Lays (and in the bedroom)

It didn't take him long to roll up the bag and join us!

We decided on one of our favorites for supper,

and it gets crowded so we arrived early.

Sam and I shared a steak - what a delicious treat!

We documented our first paper straws (such a first world thing)

and we were thumbs down although we know they are much better for our

environment, ha!

And we put up a dollar for the first time as a family this trip,

we've seen them before not put one up. There is over $1 million on display there. WOW

We came back and hung out playing several round of Uno.  

Super relaxing day!

The GOAT Trip || Day 1

We planned ahead and created a 4 day weekend to head to the condo.

And we could have called this trip almost anything (or nothing at all) 

but the boys have fun helping me with blog post titles...

and recently everything has been

 THE GOAT

at our house.

The Greatest of All Time (dinner, bed, you name it) as a mom of boys who love all things sports and ESPN, etc,

you just roll with it.

And so, everything this trip was the GOAT.

Mom let them bring the PS 4  - the goat.

They chose Bojangles - the goat ( only the tea for mom, she could do without the rest)

but we had hit some traffic in Nashville so when we finally stopped it tasted good!

We woke on Friday to cloudy skies but an amazing view, its pretty rain or shine.

A moment later the sun peeked thru- the GOAT.

The waves were strong all weekend, red flags

We took an early morning stroll down to the pier

and we captured all sorts of shells talked sea life,

tides and life.  This kid has big goals.

We woke up the other two for a breakfast at our very favorite,

and we had perfect timing because it stormed while we were enjoying breakfast.

The GOAT

We were back poolside before lunchtime.

I LOVED LOVED this book.

Sharing a part of the book with Sam, we had a nice conversation

about his cell phone rules. We agreed we are on track and he understood 

some of the rules we have put into place.

The GOAT(ish)

We were outside right in the middle of this...

it was not raining and didn't rain until late that evening.

I think we dodged a rainy afternoon!

The GOAT

It was cloudy, though!

How lucky am I to spend the afternoon with these boys?

And the perfect condo supper...grilled turkey strips 

and microwave mac and cheese, ha!

The GOAT

We went out to find some books at our favorite Books and Million

and hunted down the Kilwins (we loved it in Hilton Head)!

He got free sprinkles!  

The GOAT

Sunday Full of Parties

We had a very fun Sunday full of parties.

We started the day with a Minute to Win It Sunday School party, because it was our last day together!

We read verses then acted them out including

Noah's Ark

Parable of the Lost Sheep

David and Goliath

The Walls of Jericho

Joseph's Coat of Many Colors.

{these ideas are NOT original, simple google search}.

The competition ran thick in this group.

Lots of fun, cheers, chants and an excellent way to review bible stories that

most of the kids knew! We enjoyed kit kats together and I wished them well

in their 5th grade class!

And then we had friends over for Sunday lunch.

We kept it simple with brats, hot dogs, mac and cheese and our friends brought

cookies and a salad.  We had an excellent visit and  I was sad that

summer was coming to a close and we hadn't done it more often!
