Holding On For Dear Life!

Grandma, George and Drew. Drew wouldn't take his eyes off the ducks long enough to glance at the camera.

We went to Myrtle Beach for a long weekend to visit Judy and have some fun! We started off on Friday by hanging out at Broadway on the Beach, an attraction with rides, restaurants, an aquarium and other sites. Drew wasn't a huge fan of the rides but we had fun walking around, feeding the ducks and enjoying a really yummy meal. It's funny how young kids change their mind about what they like. Drew rode a carousel when he could barely sit up and thought it was the best thing. I've tried it twice in the last few months and it's not such a big hit. Another example was when he loved Santa Clause but a few months later despised the Easter bunny. You just never know I guess. Back the story at hand.... We had a few tickets for rides so tried various things. The spinning teacups were tolerable for him but the rocking pirate ship was a no go! As soon as George and Drew walked toward the ship Drew grabbed on to George's shirt and wouldn't loosen his grip. The ticket taker must have felt bad for Drew because she stopped the ride and gave him the ticket back. I felt bad for pushing Drew onto the rides but we figured he would love them. I guarantee none of the things we tried were near as wild as last weekend's Slip-n-Slide! One thing Drew did love was checking out the trucks at the John Deer store. That was a really cute place! They had hundreds and hundreds of trucks and Drew picked out a couple that Grandma got him. He wanted to play with them right away of course but we practically needed bolt cutters to get them separated from the packaging. Seriously, what is up with that these days? Every toy Drew gets takes an army to unpack. Judy and I worked on them all the way to her place with no success. Drew finally realized we weren't making any progress and went to sleep. It was a nice treat for him though when he woke from his nap.
