Tybee Island

In April, we took a trip to Tybee Island, GA with my Mom & Dad. We stayed in a great condo right on the beach.

The view from our balcony

The boys inspecting the balcony upon arrival

Our condo, from the beach, about half-way to the water. 

This was really one of the widest beaches (from the start of the sand dunes to the water) that I think I've ever been on.

We saw lots of ships coming & going

Fort Pulaski

One of the bunker entrances.  We got a tad bit turned around going in & out of these, but they were pretty cool

Me, Sean & Glenn at one of the many cannons still at the Fort

Sean was interested in messing with every cannon, in some way, as much as possible.

Glenn wasn't AS hands-on as Sean, but we managed to capture a pic or two.

Sean wasn't just "hands" on, of course...

At the top of the Fort.  

The boys, including Scott, loved it up here.

Me?  Not so much.  See the edge on the left?  That's the end of the wall...  and a long fall to the concrete below.  The cause of a major amount of anxiety for me, the whole time we were up there.

I couldn't get us down fast enough.  The boys, naturally, didn't share my feelings.

This condo kitty totally has the life.  If there's reincarnation, this is what I want in my next life.

Tybee Island Light Station

Scott, Glenn, Sean and I all climbed to the top.  The boys did just fine going up.  I thought I'd pass out.  Of course.

View from the top.

My sweet boys & I

This was, I believe, a seat from one of the games at the Amusement Park that was on Tybee Island until some time in the 1990s.  (Now in the museum across the street from the Light Station.)

The kiddie pool.  

Sean simply loves jumping into any pool and whether or not the adult with him in the deeper pool is ready to catch him, matters not to him.  There really is no 'relaxing' in the pool when Sean's around! 

Brotherly love!

Condo kitties!  

I think there were 7 or 8 that were regularly in this spot, and the Condo Association feeds them regularly.  They're not much for human interaction, but they were kind of entertaining when they weren't laying around.

Scott got some great evening pics

Another excellent trip.  And I'm totally ready to go back.

Glenn's birthday, party 2

Glenn's birthday was celebrated, with my side of the family, on Easter this year.

Gammie makes the bunny cake every year - whether she's attending or not.  And he's always so cute! 

Glenn loves his Nanny.

We also celebrate Nanny's birthday at the same time as Glenn's, since they're only one day apart. 

Sean hunting Easter Eggs

"I don't know, either!"

Checking the haul

Jessica was quite happy about hers

Doug provided the "egg opening" music for Lauralyn & the rest of us

Becky helped Sean open his

Glenn's Party - #1

Waiting for the party to start...

Pre-food play time

Time for cake!!  Glenn had been looking forward to this (aka asking "When???") since we picked the goodies up the day before...

He's on a Transformers kick

Waiting for the singing

I don't know who he's talking to, or what he's saying, but he appears to mean business

Yum!

Don't know what he wanted more - the cupcakes or the rings on them.

Ethan, Sean & Glenn enjoying some cupcakes

"Messy?  Me?  Surely not."

Presents!!

Couldn't leave Sean out of the action

A camera!!

Helping Ethan liberate Buzz Lightyear

Say "Cheese!"

Ethan's still working on Buzz's liberation...  it took a while, even with the help of Optimus Glenn.

Sean took over 100 pictures.  Maybe 5 turned out somewhat visible.

Taking a moment to chill

Pada's trying to figure out how to get Buzz's wing tucked in. 

Sean & I viewing the pictures he'd taken so far

Must take more!

Partying & picture taking makes a boy tired.  (Glenn took a nap, too, but there's no photographic evidence of that one.)
