Beach trip

Last Wednesday (before the 4th), Mimi and Papa came through town on their way to St. Augustine and picked up Miller. That allowed me to welcome Jon home and for us to have a few hours to ourselves. Then on Thursday, we headed down to join them in the RV for a long beach weekend. We did this last year and hope to make it a yearly tradition (although maybe not on the 4th). When we got there, Miller was acting a bit funny and after a trip to the pool to show daddy how well he swims, we realized he had a fever. We got some medicine in him but he spent most of Friday and Saturday not feeling well. We even had to leave dinner on Friday (before we got our table) b/c his fever came back. He threw up twice but both times it was just juice that he had drank. He finally started feeling better on Sunday which was good b/c we had lots of visitors that day for beach, crab legs and low country boil. Nuncle, Memay, Granny Nan and Mr. Jim (Memay's parents), Uncle Bob (my uncle), Kathy, Kate (my cousin), Ryan (her boyfriend) and Lexi (her daughter). It was fun to get everyone together again and enjoy some great food. Sadly it started raining on Monday and we never really got any good beach time after that. All-in-all it was a good trip and nice to relax.

Jon took Miller boogie boarding but sadly we did not get a picture. MA came to get a picture but Miller got clobbered by a wave and then wouldn't get back on. Him and Jon were riding the waves together on the board though and Miller thought it was so fun. We have a fearless little boy when it comes to the water. We sure have to watch him.
