Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day Weekend this year we decided to go to the beach. We went to Emerald Isle where my Mom and her sisters have a beach condo. My Mom and Dad went as well because my Mom had a board meeting since she is on the board for the HOA. Landon talked all week about going to the "big" water and feeding the sea gulls. Landon went down Friday afternoon with my Mom and Dad and Brian and I came later that evening.

Landon had a wonderful time playing in the sand and swimming in the big water Saturday, Sunday, and Monday before we left to come home. Landon buried him and his dad in the sand, he watched Poppa catch fish and Poppa even put one in Landon's sand bucket with water and Landon just loved that. From then on out Landon wanted Poppa to keep catching fish and put them in his bucket. There was even times where Landon would sit in his new Diego chair by his bucket of water waiting for Poppa to catch fish.

Saturday night Landon Brian and I were on our own because Maw Maw and Poppa had a little get together with the neighbors. Brian and I took Landon to get pizza and then to play Putt Putt Golf. As soon as we walked into the golf's little store to pay to play Landon went straight to where the balls were kept on the counter and said he wanted a purple ball. He also picked out a blue golf club that they had for little kids. Brian got a light blue golf ball and I got a red one. We played golf and for it being Landon's first time, he did great. He didn't hit any balls out of the playing surface. He actually got 2 hole in ones! Although there were times if the ball wasn't close enough to the hole after he hit it he would pick it up and put it about 6in from the hole and then hit it. We did pre warn him before the 18th hole that once his ball went in that hole he wouldn't be able to get his ball back and the golf would be over so once we got to that whole and again reminded him about the hole he tried to go to a different hole to keep playing. We actually let him play another round since he was free to play and Brian and I just walked through with him. Brian actually got a hole in one on the "secret" hole and won a free game of golf so we went back the next night with Maw Maw and Poppa.

Needless to say Landon had a great time, in fact he had such a great time that when we came in on Monday to eat Lunch and get ready to go home so Landon could nap in the car he was eating hush puppies that were left over from dinner the night before and he said to Poppa "when I finish my hush puppies I am going to take a nap and when I wake up I am going to go to the big water".
