The Watt Family: One Last Trip!

We decided to take one last trip as a family of three before baby brother arrives! Carlton and I went the beach alone back in May. We are planning a long beach trip in September for all of us. When I say all of us, I mean that we will be a family of four by then! So, we decided we wanted to take one last family of three trip. We know that the trip in September will be fun, but we also know that the trip will not be all about John Turner like our trips are right now! We wanted to have one last weekend where we could just play and enjoy our sweet first born!

The trip started out with a bang! We had a blowout on the way down. It was quite a scary experience! Thank goodness Carlton was driving and knew exactly what to do to keep us safe! After spending a little extra time getting a new tire, we finally made it to the beach. We stayed at The Beach Club. It was our first time to stay there and we really enjoyed it !John Turner was ready to swim the moment we got the condo! He just finished up with swimming lessons a couple of weeks ago and he was ready to swim!! He paddled and kicked his way all over that pool! He was so brave in the water this year. Total opposite of last year! He even started jumping off of the side of the pool by himself! He loved to play with his pool noodle and his water shooter. He also liked for Momma and Daddy to throw him back and forth across the pool. He also made us laugh a lot while swimming at the pool. He would get on the ladder and lay back and say he was doing his stretches! We have know idea where that came from. He also decided to introduce himself to everyone in the pool with us! He would swim right up to them and ask, "What are you doing today?" He is quite the little people person these days!

As soon as we finished dinner each night, we would get back to the room and John Turner would grab his swimming stuff and he was ready to go again! He and Daddy had quite a fun time doing some night swimming!

I have to say that John Turner is still not too fond of the actual beach! He like it a million times better than he did last year, but he still doesn't stay out on the beach for very long periods of time. He did enjoy playing in the sand and building sand castles with us. Actually, I should say he liked for us to build the castles and then all he wanted to destroy them! He was still a little afraid of the waves this year.

John Turner has been talking about catching a crab at the beach since we told him we were going! So Daddy bought a net and a flashlight and crabbing they went! I never thought they would actually catch one! Well, they actually did!! Daddy found out just how it felt to be pinched by a crab too:-)

John Turner has slept with us probably only once in his whole life. Well, he got to sleep with us on this trip. He was so excited about it! Momma had to wake these boys up every morning and at every nap time! They both love some sleep! Momma just wishes she could sleep for a few hours at this point in the pregnancy!

We went out to eat a couple of times while we were there. We went to the Hangout which is always so much fun for John Turner!

We also went to Tacky Jack's. John Turner loved it there because it is on the marina and he could see all of the fishing boats. One of the boats had just come in from a trip and he got to see all of the fish they had caught.
