We went to the beach for 2 days and to the pool one day. It took a little while for Brayden to warm up to the sand & water, but he eventually (with the help of cousin Sid, Aunt Lynn & Aunt Dana) decided that the water & sand were pretty fun!
Playing with his dump truck which was a HUGE hit!

The pool was just OK. Brayden wasn't a big fan...
Uncle Sandy's birthday present from Opa & Oma was fresh salmon for dinner.
They had it shipped from Pike Place Market in Seattle!!
Before dinner, they gave him the empty box & said that was his gift :)

We also went to a Myrtle Beach Pelicans baseball game as a group of 16! Brayden LOVED watching the baseball game & kept showing us how they pitch the ball! Sadly, the Pelican's team was not very good. I think the family could have done about as good a job playing as the team did. We all still had a great time together at the game!

Aunt Lynn had Opa & Oma's anniversary printed on the tickets!
How cool is that!?!?!
Brayden with Aunt Dana & Uncle John...possibly the coolest aunt & uncle around!

Will and Charity are probably the 2nd coolest aunt & uncle around :)

What else do you need for a July 4th festival?? Oh yeah...FIREWORKS!! Lots and lots of fireworks!! The town of Calabash went all out & had a great fireworks show! Brayden seemed to enjoy the fireworks after get got into Daddy's lap and kept clapping & saying "Yea!!" each time they stopped for a second.
I am so glad that Brayden is getting to know his extended family. I never really got to spend much time with my dad's family growing up because they all lived so far away so I love the tight-knit family feel. It is always just one big party when these folks get together! We are so blessed that we get to see Matt's family as much as we do. They are all amazing people and we love spending time with them!
