VACATION!

It’s been too long since we took a vacation, and a wedding in Atlanta gave us the perfect opportunity. We decided to visit family in South Carolina before the wedding. Chris’s favorite way to travel is to drive overnight, which we managed once again. I managed to get SOME shut eye on the drive down in between Cam’s wakeful moments while Chris drove the entire way. He crashed as soon as we arrived at our destination (a visit with the Guess girls!) while Cam and I played with the girls.

But day two was a trip to the beach. Cam wasn’t too interested in the water at first, but we discovered last year that a small blow up pool is a great beach toy. 

Some things never get old for a toddler.

We had wonderful weather and a lot of sun. The only one who left the beach without turning red was Cam, the rest of us obviously need to spend more time in the sun. We stopped at a strawberry patch on the way home, more stories and photos to come!

Cam and I had a lovely morning at The Missouri Botanical Gardens on Saturday, enjoying the weather before yet another cold snap arrived into town.

 Showing off a little bit of our bum.

 We fed the koi until I was out of quarters. Cam was not very understanding of that.

 The fishies talked to Cam, saying “Blub blub blub.”

I realize there’s not a ton of Cam face photos this time, but that’s what happens when you are trying to wrangle a toddler in the middle of crowds. We did have a good time!

Pip is the best playmate ever.

easter boys

After celebrating a visit from the Easter Bunny at home, we spent the day at my parents along with my brother and his family. Noah and Cam are finally getting to an age where they are interacting more and more. Luckily we had lots of play time!

Yummy! Fried cupcake!!

Yelling at your cousin through a play kitchen is lots of fun.

So is hiding in a closet and popping out!

Letters and numbers with Papa.

Lastly, we helped Gram clean dishes by popping bubbles.

Happy Easter everyone!

what the easter bunny brought Cam

He takes his gifts seriously.

Luckily, the easter bunny scored points with tub puzzle letters.

He still loves identifying each one for us.

OUTSIDE!

Everyday we wake up, go downstairs and start breakfast as we’re waking up. It doesn’t take Cam very long though, after his first bite he points to the door and yells “OUTSIDE!” So we spend a lot of time roaming our backyard and the streets of our neighborhood.

Love this smile!

Playing makes us hungry!

Oh, for all my Saint Louis friends, you can get this cute shirt for you or your little one here!
