Beach Trip- Days 4 and 5

Okay, so he doesn't look so happy here but I promise he loved it.



He had to dress like his MeMe.




Day 4- Very exciting!! I went to a tennis clinic first thing in the morning. Then, Brannon and I went to the water park! I have no pictures for obvious reasons (did I mention water park) so I hope I'll always be able to remember that first trip to the water park. He LOVED it! We started on the kiddie slides but Brannon kept eyeing the bigger ones. We did all slides that he met the height requirement for several times over. Then, we went on two double intertube slides that he wasn't quite tall enough for but no one stopped us. I pretty much had to hold him up with my legs so his whole body wouldn't slide through the hole of the intertube. The first one was pretty tame. Mostly like a lazy river ride with a couple of short drops. The second one, however, was much more intense for a three year old. Lots of twists and turns and drops. Two times you go through a tunnel where you get drenched by a waterfall, it goes pitch black dark, and you turn so fast you think you're going to fall over. Well, I'm so nervous that we're going to fall over that I'm gripping Brannon like crazy while trying to drag my butt along the slide to try and slow us down. We never fell over but I was expecting Brannon to be crying when we got to the bottom. He loved it though and wanted to do it over and over again. We had a great day and can't wait to go back next time with daddy!



Even though that was enough for one day we weren't through yet. MeMe, Brannon, and I had tickets for Le Grand Cirque (one of the traveling spin-offs of Cirque du Soleil) for that night at 8:00 (normally his bedtime). It was also a big hit. Very entertaining for all of us and really held Brannon's attention throughout the whole performance. He loved watching the gymnasts jump, dive, and flip through the hoops which I think was his favorite part of the show (other than the popcorn we had to get at intermission). All in all, an exhausting day but a great day!

Capture the moment







Have you ever had the best opportunity for a picture and couldn't get the camera fast enough? Then you try and recreate the moment so you can get the picture. Never quite the same.

Beach Trip- Days 2 and 3

Fun with Poppy.

Tips from one pool shark to another.

Gammy, MeMe and Taylor (Taylor has obviously found interest elsewhere)



Day 2: beach, pool, nap, repeat... repeat again... you get the picture



Day 3: went to Enterprise (or the tennis house as Brannon calls it) for the day to visit family and for Mom and John to vote, got to visit Gammy and Grandaddy and Grandmother and Grandaddy Pittman, a quick trip but nice to see and visit with everyone

Flip-flops


Notice I couldn't take the picture of Brannon's new flip-flops on his feet because he CAN'T WEAR THEM. Why did I let him talk me into buying them against my better judgement? After a 30 minute walk to go from the condo door to the elevator (that included about 50 stops to readjust/put back on) I banned the flip-flops to my purse and, conveniently, pulled out the crocs. I guess the flip-flops will just have to look cute in the floor of his closet.
