A reason to celebrate.

My brother Josh (he's number 5) turned 21 on Saturday. We decided it was a great excuse to have a little getaway to Greenville and hang out with the family and celebrate Josh. So we got a couple of hotel rooms and spent a fun weekend together.

We did a little swimming.....rough housing.....Josh flopped around on the ground like a sea lion and slapped his stomach.....we may have chased away all the other people and had the pool all to ourselves.

Trying to get a picture of Skylar, Bekah and Margaret all looking at the camera was almost impossible. They have a combined attention span of 3 seconds:
Finally got it! Only took 12 tries.....
I couldn't get over the teeny tiny pool towels that were roughly the size of a hand towel. Is it to keep people from stealing them? They were the perfect size for Little Bit, but you can only imagine how many Thomas had to drape over his body just to dry off a little.
We had Josh's dinner at PF Chang's, mostly for the Great Wall of Chocolate.
Then we pretty much layed around and did a lot of nothing. Well except for eating of course, there was lots of eating.
We wandered around downtown and stumbled upon some girl scouts peddling their goodies. So of course we bought a couple of boxes of cookies and then Bekah and I walked around eating them like a couple of piggies.
We enjoyed the river walk in downtown Greenville. The daffodils were blooming, spring is here!
These boys like to be close. This is just how they sit, they weren't even posing for a picture.
Skylar loves her Aunt Bekah, but called her "Uh-Cole" the whole weekend. She appears to have transferred all of her love for Nicole onto Bekah. So we called Bekah "Fake Nicole" all weekend.
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Thomas and Marge with the baby carriage...
So worn out....
And now it's back to normal life again. Skylar is missing all of her aunts and uncles. She cried for "Uh-cole" (Bekah) during the night last night and asked about her all day. Poor baby.
