Birthday weekend road trip

This past weekend was mine and my nephew Davids birthday, so the boys and I (minus Dad) headed down to North Carolina to visit Doug, Karen and David. They were up here to visit just after Grayson was born and Brady hasn't stopped talking about the fun he had with cousin David, so I thought our birthdays were the perfect reason for a visit. They live only 30 minutes from the beach, so we headed to the beach on Saturday and had a great time! We finished up our visit with a morning at the park and a treat from the ice cream man! It was a wonderful weekend and am so glad we were able to make the trip. You can also view a video from the weekend on Doug's blog www.douglasquaderer.wordpress.com. It's 12 minutes long, so be sure to have a few minutes to view it.

There was a lot of running, chasing, wrestling and tickling!

Buds!

Look Mom, he does cook!Fun in the sun! Grayson hung out in his cabana and enjoyed the lovely ocean breeze.

Picnic time!

Brady couldn't wait to start digging in the sand!

Grayson's first dip in the Ocean. I dipped his toes and that was about it-back to the cabana he went.
