St. Simon's Island

After Michael's birthday party, Ryan came back to KY and I, the kids and the MeMas went to St. Simons Island for a mini vacation. It was actually a relaxing time and a lot of fun! Here are some pictures of the trip in no particular order...
Michael using a HUGE spoon at the Gnat's Landing. He loved their cheese grits...and momma did too :)
This was the Lyons' first trip to St. Simons, so the beach was very different to us since we are used to the Gulf (Destin). Michael loved it! The tide came in at night and made little spots of water that Michael could play in each day. He loved climbing this ridge.
His shovel and bucket
Kaitlyn was not so sure about the sand

Michael enjoyed playing at this playground near the pier.
The condo had kid-sized chairs and both kids liked sitting in them
Michael's cars...he takes them everywhere!
Another picture at the park...we went every night for Michael to play
Kaitlyn had so much fun seeing herself in the mirrors on the closet doors :)
Michael getting dirty in the wet sand!
Smiling sissy
This screened in porch at the condo was a life saver! I think Michael would live outside if he could, and the porch made him feel like he was playing outside

Thanks Uncle Lance and Aunt Toni for letting us stay in the condo! We can't wait to go again next year!

Michael's birthday party

I can't believe our Michael is 2 years old!!! We had a little family party for him in GA a couple of weeks ago. He had a good time...and got a lot of new toys :)
His cupcakes...his party was a truck theme since he LOVES trucks!
Eating hamburgers and doritos...he probably had more doritos than hamburger that night
Lots of presents...our family was very gracious to him!
Time for the cake; if you don't see a flame on that candle, it's because there is not one! We could not find any matches in MeMa and PaPa's house and no one had a lighter. Ryan tried to light it on the gas grill, but it did not last...oh well.
PaPa giving Kaitlyn her first taste of icecream. She loved it of course!
