Beaufort Weekend

This past weekend we enjoyed ourselves in Beaufort, SC. It was my Mother's Day celebration since Josh and Jack were both gone on Mother's Day.

The beginning was all for the boys though....of course I had fun too. We went to the Blue Angels air show. It was Jack's second air show in two weeks and he absolutely loved it! He does LOVE planes. He is definitely Daddy's boy. We all had fun...other than me getting sunburn. Yes, I put on sunblock and re-applied TWICE! Still managed to get sunburn...boys were just fine.

After the airshow we headed to the hotel and all showered before dinner. Needless to say with my new farmer's tan I couldn't wear my dress to dinner....looks horrific! Anyway dinner was wonderful. Jack ate duck for the first time and liked it! The restaurant was on the waterway so we walked the boardwalk after dinner. Jack enjoyed chasing a little girl...she was leading him on and enjoying it!! Jack also cheered for the bride and groom (there was a wedding there as well)!

Sunday Jack went to see the ocean for the first time. Can't believe it took us so long to get him there, but oh well. We went to Hunting Island State Park and the weather was cloudy, good for me!! Jack of course went straight for the sand, eating it and throwing it all over, including in his hair. Then Josh took him to the water. He didn't mind it....until the tide came up to him and then away. He lost his balance and fell a couple times. After that he didn't care for the water so much!! Needless to say he needed to be changed out of his wet clothes so he played in a swim diaper for a while. After washing off at the showers it was back to town for lunch.

Jack gets distracted in restaurants....at lunch he was far too busy flirting with a young girl sitting at a nearby table and all the other ladies to focus on his food! After lunch we headed to the park and played for a while before the lightning and thunder got too close. Ewan rode the swings for the first time....LOVED it! As soon as we got in the car it poured!! Just in time.

It was a long ride home....Ewan cried for 75 minutes straight! He doesn't seem to like riding in the car anymore. Even a short road trip is awful now. We won't be going far anytime soon. He better get over this phase soon!
