Last weekend we decided to make a trip down to the Mississippi coast to visit Eric's brother, Jason, and his wife, Karem, and their 3 children! We knew it would be a crazy weekend with 5 kids between the ages of 17 months and almost 4 years old, but we also knew it would be so fun for all the little cousins to play together. Also, Grafton has been dying to see the beach, so this was just perfect! The kids did so well on the drive down, we went to the beach as soon as we got in town, and then the kids played and played all night! Saturday morning, the dads took Grafton and Thomas (who are the same age) to the donut shop and then Karem gave them a tennis lesson...which Grafton LOVED! We had seafood for lunch, hit the outlet mall in the afternoon, then played and played the rest of the night. Grafton just adores cousin Thomas, and James always has fun playing with all the children. We hit the beach one last time Sunday morning before heading home to spend Mother's Day night with my mom. It was really such a fun weekend, and I have a feeling we will be planning another little trip down there before the summer is over!
