Beach Vacation

We went on the Vansant family vacation to Isle of Palms, SC last week. Carter woke up every morning saying, "I ready to go swimming now Mommy, let's go!" We kept having to tell him it would be just a little bit longer until we could go out. (We didn't want to be "that family" in the swimming pool in the middle of all the condos at 7am) However, one morning Carter got tired of waiting on me to get things ready to go so he promptly got out all the gear for going out ("fishee diaper", swimming suit, and "sunscreem") and laid on the floor ready for me to get him ready. He wasn't a fan of the ocean this trip (afraid the waves would "get him") but the swimming pool was a big hit. Kelsey was such a little trooper all week. She took a few naps under the tent at the beach and just loved watching all the kids around her all day long.
Here is Carter at the swimming pool. Thank goodness we drove to the coast 6 hours to find a POOL, right? Ha. It was worth it though - he became MUCH more comfortable in the water this week.
Carter loved playing with his cousin Luke. They had a big time playing indoors in a homemade fort one rainy day.
