My Second Beach Trip

The Merritt clan all went to the beach last week and me and Mommy and Mimi went down to visit them. Daddy couldn't go because he had to work.

Here is a picture of us girls hanging out at the beach checking out the guys.




Mommy pushed me around in the stroller...Look at all the wrist bands I have gathered up today. I like shoes and wrist bands....







Weeeeeee...Here is me and mommy going down the big slide.......



As I mentioned before... I love shoes especially someone elses shoes..



Look at me mommy.....I am a big girl walking around in flip flops.


OK, I have stolen the golf cart key and I am ready to go for a drive..


Well this master plan failed because I was unable to get into the cart.. So I figured I would just sit here until someone could come give me a ride.



I am sitting here eating some breakfast in my PJ's....I am really not a morning person.


But I can smile if someone asked me to.....



When I got back from the beach me and Daddy hung out all day....He gave me a beret to wear...How does this look?




I like wearing this beret....



Look at this pretty NC STATE WOLFPACK tattoo daddy gave me.... It is cool! I think I am going to be a WOLFPACK fan even though mommy and sissy are Carolina fans.



We had a lot of fun playing around.....Here is daddy making me laugh..





Hey cool....What you looking at.....



Did you say something........

I have had a lot of fun this week....Tomorrow I will be 17 months old....Time sure is flying by...

Thank you for visiting my blog.... I have been going to the pool this summer and getting better at playing around in the water....More pictures to come!

My Beach Trip

I know it has been forever since I posted but things have been really busy and we just got back from the Myrtle Beach on vacation and I have a lot to share. It was a crazy week for me as all of this was really brand new.... We went to the beach last year but I was too little to remember any of it. So where do I start.....



Here is where we stayed....It was at the Wyndham Resort in North Myrtle Beach...It was really nice and had plenty of room and nice cabinets for me to go into and pull everything out....
We were on the 4th floor overlooking the pool with an ocean view. I couldn't wait to get down and check out that big blue body of water.

Daddy took me down to the beach as soon as we got there and we walked down to where the sand was wet and we wrote my name in the sand. Daddy has sloppy hand writing.

So I thought I would sharpen it up a bit but I wasn't too keen on this sand being on my finger....

OK Daddy, lets roll over here and check out these waves......Follow me......

Well that wasn't a bright idea.....That water is COLD............. I am ready to head back in now, seen it, done it.....

Grandpa and Grandma Merritt came down that afternoon and he took me back to the beach and I was telling him all about it. I was trying to explain to him how the waves come crashing in and the water was COLD.......

Then he put me down in the sand and I was not a happy camper....I did not like the feel of that wet sand under my bare feet...I am doing a dance here trying to shake it off.

After the walk down to the beach Mommy and Daddy walked me down to Main Street in North Myrtle Beach. I got on the bull...... Giddy up!

The resort had many activities and one of them was to build your own candy straw....Look at all the different flavors to choose from....

Mommy was showing me how to do it but as you can tell I am not really into this today....I think I want to do something else....

Mommy is pouring some in the straw but I am curious what is going on over at the other tables.

Daddy knew that I wasn't paying attention so he sat me down and tried to explain it to me in more detail. Not real exciting to me here folks... Lets go back to the beach.

Heeeeyyyyy, nobody told me that after we built it that I was going to get to eat it..... If I would have known that I would have been more involved in the selection of the candy colors.....Yum yum.......

One day we went to the aquarium....Here is me and daddy in front of the ships wheel..I was pointing to that girl to get out of my picture but she wasn't listening to me...

We seen lots of fish......There were sharks, turtles and all kinds of other fish.

Mommy, Daddy run that big bad shark is heading right for us......I can see it's teeth...

This lady next to us picked up this creature from the tank and turned it over....It has so many legs and it was flopping them..... I actually touched the legs.....They were soft...

Here is a diver waving to me.... He was down feeding all the fish......They loved him....

We then went out to were the carnival rides were.....Many of them were for big kids but mommy found a couple for me....First she put me in this purple and white tea cup..... I was looking around not sure what to expect here....The lady running the show told me to hold on so I guess that means something is going to happen.



Whoaaaaaaaaaa, this thing is awesome.....It is spinning and I am laughing and having a great time....Mommy is spinning us so let's go faster mom....

This is sooooooooooooo fun......... I want to do this again.............

OK, what the heck is this....... I am not sure I want to do this...... I have a feeling this one is going to move also....I better hold on.....Mommy, don't let go of me..

Sweeeeet.....We are going around in a circle and my zebra is going up and down.......I love speed....I am going to be a daredevil....

Our place had an indoor pool and I was ready to try to swim.....Here is daddy holding me because I don't want him to let go......I am pointing to some to this boy in the pool....Already getting my flirt on.......

HOW YOU DOING?????

Awwwww..... I am getting an oil change..... Well that is what daddy calls it when I get a diaper change...

Here is a great shot of me in my new float....I like this better...On top of the water in control..

Well our week is coming to an end and we have to leave this beautiful place. Here is a great pic of the beach .............

Goodbye sand....... I will be back and hopefully next time I will get down and build sand castles..

Mommy and me gathered some shells to take home with us..... Those will be my reminders of my awesome trip to the beach.


Well thank you for visiting my blog...... I promise that next time I won't take so long to post....

COWBOY BOOTS

OK, I found a cowboy hat so now I have to find some boots.... I know there are some in here somewhere.

I found a Santa hat.....This is not the boots that I am looking for.

Here is a basket....Let me check and see if the boots are in this basket........



OK, no boots but I will take the Santa hat and the basket back to my room for safe keeping.



YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! I found the boots......Look at me.....I am a cowgirl......Now where is my horse...... Daddy, you need to run out and buy me a pony now!

OK, well I have to go, this was a short post I know, I have to go check and see if daddy is buying me a pony.

Check back later.... Have a good week!

My First Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday was my first Easter Egg Hunt at the church.... Lots of kids came and I was walking around trying to say "hi" to everyone of them.



Here is me in the gym running around looking at all of the little stations that they had set up for crafts and egg painting.



Randi brought Piper so she could have fun with me.



Daddy, I am ready to go.....What are we waiting on, I have my basket in my hand.. Let's get this party started.


Hmmm, whose basket is this? I see something in here...


Daddy was telling me that I need to be careful about going in other's people stuff....



OK, the mission is about ready to go..... Piper wanted to give me a big hug before we started the hunt.


I FOUND A COUPLE OF EGGS....... Sweet!


What I supposed to do with these??? Where is my basket ?


Mommy is going to help me put my newly found eggs in my basket.




This is fun.... I love being outside hunting for eggs.


I grew tired of hunting eggs so I thought I would go off on a little adventure of the land.


DIRT....... I see lots of possibilities of getting dirty here......


Here is a great picture of all the girls, Mommy, me and Sissy..... We had a great time......
