Trip to Southport!

 
Today we went to the beach!  It wasn't really planned so we sort of swam in our clothes.  It was a lot of fun until we got attacked by evil biting flies.  They swarmed us!  I wanted to go to Southport because I just finished the book Safe Haven (awesome book!) which is based in Southport.  They actually just finished filming the movie there (which I'm super excited to see!). 

I figured there would be beaches in Southport but apparently it is actually just a port.  Go figure!  We did find this narrow teeny tiny strip of sand so Sadie got her sand fix.  Tyson just wanted to swim!  The flies were awful though.  Southport was beautiful but the flies ruined it.  I don't think I'll go back.  We went to a nice outside restaurant that was overlooking the ocean.  The whole time getting bit over and over again.  It was miserable.  As soon as we got our food I had them put it in boxes so that we could eat in the car.  I couldn't handle it anymore!  Sadly, when I opened the car door and buckled the kids in like 20 flies got in the car.  The whole drive home I was getting bit.  Grrr...!  I HATE those flies!

It was so fun to be with the kids!  I enjoy spending time with those little cuties.  It's nice to feel like that rather than counting down the minutes until nap time. 

In other news!  Tyson is now 15 months old!  He has started to have an opinion about EVERYTHING.  I actually love it.  He either nods his head violently yes or violently no depending on what he wants.  It's cute.  He started folding his arms by pinching his wrist and he says Amen after.  He's so BIG!
