Day 8 - Vacation

This morning the boys actually enjoyed the beach again. I know they would rather be at the pool but I would rather be at the beach! Will caught not only his first fish but the first one any of us were able to catch. The boys had their nets trying to catch one and he just kept catching them and was so proud. Gaines tried once and moved on to the next thing. Nonni and Gaines worked on their sand creatures: an elephant and octopus. Garrick searched for shells to stink up my house. His childhood memories of searching for shells took over and every time I looked up he was in the ocean searching for the perfect shell. Will has struggled with pooping all week. Now it is to the point where it hurts so bad, he will not let it come out so we finally decided to get an enema. So at naptime, I drove all over 30A trying to find one. I have had to do this before a few months ago and it is terrible but what I learned is sometimes it is just better to do it by yorself. Nonni has been yapping all week about giving him one and now that it is time and he is screaming like the exorcist, Garrick is basically crying while "helping" and Nonni is questioning if we should be doing this and I am about to kill all of them! It worked and he finally went and we started back on the miralax so hopefully that will help him. Nonni and Poppy took him to get a treat for his pain after naptime. Tonight we had our favorite vacation dinner - Shrimp Night! Our plan was to take the boys to Rosemary for their Movie in the Park and the boys were so excited. We had our popcorn packed and blanket and headed that way when it started thundering and lightning so through the meltdown the boys had we convinced them to watch on iPad and we would have our own movie night. This was a big deal because I only let the boys watch G movies and this one is PG. Well, Will could not contain his excitement so much as soon as it started he yelled out, "STUPID!" How do they know this stuff? He kept looking at me to see if I was going to turn it off or not.

Is this how normal people start off their morning on vacation - wrestling with their 3 year old grandson?

This is a prime example why Will is mean as a snake!

Good Morning! Another beautiful day!

I made Gaines take a picture with his Mommy since he has has only wanted his NonNon for 8 days now!

Will went with Nonni and Poppy to get a treat for finally pooping and for surviving his vacation enema.
