John Lawrence in Myrtle Beach

Here are pics of John Lawrence in Myrtle Beach. I wrote a little bit in the previous post under Mac in Myrtle Beach.

Mac in Myrtle Beach

We were in Myrtle Beach the last week in July with the Walker Family. We had a great time! Beautiful weather and lots of relaxing in the pool and on the beach. Here are pics of Mac. I will do a separate post for JL.









Mac was in trouble so he was hiding in the bushes



Aunt Martha Jan and "Doobie" Her nickname for him









Emma-Kate and Mac (she is a friend of Mason's daughter). Mac loved her !


We love the outdoor shower

Visiting Old Friends

On our way to Myrtle Beach for a family vacation we stopped for the night in Columbia to stay with Jamie and Jennifer Browder. It had been a year or so since we saw them last! We had a great time and loved seeing their son Will and their new house. Thanks guys for letting us stay with you.

Pool Fun

We go to the pool almost every night. The boys love it. Summer will be over soon-I can't believe it!

Soccer Camp

John Lawrence had his first taste of soccer about 3 weeks ago. He is playing this fall, which will start in about a week. He had a ball! We are all looking forward to the season.

Waiting for this day........

John Lawrence has been waiting for this day since Mac was born. He always asked me when was Mac going to be old enough to swing. The day finally arrived! These were taken about 2 weeks ago. Mac has watched JL swing on this for so long-He felt like such a big boy. Mason and I were happy too. It means less swinging/pushing the boys for us! Everyone wins!

Bored

Mac in the car about a month ago. He is great entertainment!

Disney World

We had a great time in Disney World! First off let me say thanks to Jan and Larry for keeping Mac for us. It would have been hard for little Mac to keep up with us on this marathon trip. Next, thanks to Mom and Ron for treating us all to the Presidential Suite at Bonnet Creek, which was in the resort. It was the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed in.

Disney World was magical... to see John Lawrence's face light up everyday was so much fun to see. He loved seeing it all: characters, rides, toys, people, etc. It was hot, but the crowds were not that bad. We did not have to wait more than 30 mins for any ride. That is not bad considering we went in July.

Fireworks at Magic Kingdom

We went to Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom (2 days). Magic Kingdom was John Lawrence's favorite park. His top 3 rides were Astro Orbitor and Buzz Lightyear (both at Magic Kingdom) and Star Tours (at Hollywood Studios). His least favorite was Tower of Terror (HS) and I would have to agree.

We ate at the Liberty Tree Tavern (character meal) for dinner and JL loved it. He got to meet Chip and Dale, Pluto, Goofy and Minnie Mouse. He was not shy at all and wanted to talk and have his picture made with all of them.

His favorite part of the trip was a toss up between meeting the Power Rangers and riding in the very front of the monorail. We got to do this 3 times. I am not sure who liked it more Mason or JL?

I keep forgetting about all the great things! Another thing he loved was the face painting. JL was 3 different things. Day 1- Power Ranger, Day 2-Tiger and Day 3-Dinosaur (mix between dinosaur and Incredible Hulk) and the final day he did not mention wanting it done. I guess he was done with being so careful with his face. He would try really hard to not touch his face ,which was hard to do with the summer heat.

Also, our hotel had a pool with a waterslide and putt putt golf. If you know John Lawrence than you know those two things are his favorite of all time. At first it was hard to convince him to leave in the morning to go to the parks. We had to promise him we would come back and take a break and swim and play.

It was a fantastic trip and we will be returning in 3 or 4 years to show it all to Mac!

Disney countdown is on! Only 3 more days
