Grams, Boro and Hilton Head!

(The internet was too spotty to post while i was there so this has been sitting in drafts since our initial flight overseas- we’re home now and it’s time to start blogging our big trip-whew!)

I’m writing to you from somewhere over the Atlantic ocean currently! I just knew i had to get my last catch up post from our big trip down south up to date before i bombard everyone with overload of pics and news on our trip to Italy!

About three weeks ago, yes it’s been that bad, we heard Grams was at Gigi’s so we raced to get there for a visit with her!

  This was the first time we have actually traveled more than an hour during the day with Lola, usually we leave at night because leaving during the day requires so many pit stops it’s unreal!

This was pit stop number 2!  We stopped for nuggets and Lolas first DQ ice cream- she was not impressed with either- shocker- but he did was around with her belly  hanging out for some reason!

She thought it was hilarious and we did too!

We got there and spent dinner and the evening with grams but the next morning she had dialysis for mos of the day so we had promised Tara we would squeeze in Hilton Head time with her to celebrate her tax season being over!!

That morning we had a walk on the beach and jut as it warmed u we headed back for SWIM SUITS!!

  Lola hated the water, the sand and the mud! She screamed bloody murder when her feet got dirty!

Daddy thought it was SO funny- I know Lola…. it’s NOT funny!

Back to retrieve our swimsuits!

I literally had a breakdown at the condo getting this big girl all ready for the beach, I put her suit o ad made her pigtails and then looked at her and asked “are you  really mine?”

I guess it’s just something this mama will never get used to, i jut love it SO much being your mama!

This year is so different already, we need toys for the beach which is a first but you also hate and i mean hate the SAND getting on your fingers or your toys… the toys that are meant for the sand! 

Aren’t they the cutest!?

I did mention we don’t nap anywhere but in our crib rights?!?!? We took a BIG walk o the beach to find puppies for Lola, that was probably her favorite part of it all!       We tired her out from the beach and since it was too cold to really do the pool or get in the water we ventured over to a new playground that was just built!

She actually dozed off in the car (thank the lord) so it took her a minute to get into the whole park thing!

Playground greeter!

Tha night we met Alex’s parents and Nicolle, Tim and my other favorite girl in the whole wide world- ANA for dinner!

We decided to do the Boathouse since their was guaranteed entertainment for Lola- Dolphins swimming everywhere!

Don’t ya know that how we got her to look at the camera- “look Lola a dolphin!”

Nutty met us and does he ever disapoint with his nuttiness?! Ana time aka the party’s here! Lola loved the band!

…. and her noodles!

Snaps of the night (ana did that)!

That night we left for Gigi’s and spent the afternoon before making a quick stop at Alex’s mom’s to see the girls!

We spent most of the day outside, we fed the fish, played with the puppies and of course rode on the golfcart and Poppy even showed us the fairyland tree he made for Lola!

Isn’t Tuc the best lap dog!?!

Mom is getting better, everytime we leave she says “I wish we had gotten a picture!” This time she was ready! We had to get lots of Lola and Grams!

Then we hit the road to visit our cousins before heading home!

   My little daredevil loves a dirt road!  It was a BEAUTIFUL day to be outside!

We fed the ducks and rode golfcarts with the girls, Lola loved it! Then a quick storm came and they all cuddled inside watching Julian show them all her fancy moves on the laptop!

Aren’t they sweet!

Time to pack up our puppies and head home!

Lola loved “helping grama” with her walker and gave them all kisses goodbye!

If you can believe i actuay started and FINISHED a blog on a plane WITH a baby then i guess you already know it went pretty well! It did! More details of that to come and our girls first trip to JERSEY!
