beach part 2

After we left the campground, we went shopping at the outlets and found some great deals for the boys. Andrew is in the same size clothing and shoes as Spencer, so he doesn't get all the hand-me-downs, which in turn just means that we have to buy 2 of everything. Yay...not. Carson is also almost a half season off so he can't hardly use any of the other boys clothes either... another yay. But like I said, we found quite a few things on our shopping trip so that was good. While we were at the outlets, I don't think I've ever seen a monster truck ride on toy, so of course the boys had a fit to ride it. I think it was only supposed to fit 2, but we weren't going to put another 75 cents in for another ride. So they all had to fit :)

Then we headed up the road to see Ainsley's last performance as drum major for the high school band. She's graduating this year, so I'm so glad we got to see her. We thought we had missed the half time show because we got there a few minutes late, but luckily that was just the pregame show we missed. It was freezing that night, so we only lasted until after the halftime show with the boys then we left. Spencer , Andrew, and Carson really enjoyed spending time with Gran, Papa and Ainsley.

We celebrated Carson's birthday with them while we were up there and Greta made Carson the cutest cake decorated with hot wheels. I couldn't find my camera when they were singing to him, hence no pictures with Carson in them. They are always so thoughtful and always on top of events.

And the trip wouldn't be complete without the boys picking some kind of vegetables out of the garden. There are rows and rows of tomatoes across the street from Mike and Greta, so this trip, the boys picked some tomatoes and brought them home.

This is one of my favorite pictures of the weekend. They are just so sweet...when they're sleeping, huh...

So that catches me up until November 2:) A couple more posts and we'll bring you to the present.
