We had a wonderful thanksgiving! We took Liam to his first trip to his aunt's house in Wlimington, nc. I do believe we came home with a spoiled child! He was held just about every minute of the day. We almost didn't go, poor little guy has an ear infection. We had no idea. He was a little congested so to be on the safe side I took him in to see the doctor and low and behold she found the ear infection. Knowing he would be cranky we didn't want to impose with a crying baby we gave his aunt the option of us staying home. She said it would be fine she was use to babies with ear infections. Her son had tons of them whe he was little. So Wednesday morning we packed up the car and made the 5 hour drive down. Liam did suprisingly well and sleep most of the way. When he did wake we stopped to kill time until he was ready for another nap. Needless to say our 5 hour drive took more along the lines of 7, but we had a happy sleeping baby.
Thursday, Thanksgiving. More family came and we had a wonderful meal cooked by my sister in laws husband. Liam even had a taste of the sweet potatos. :( I brought some sweet potatoes and pumpkin I had pureed for him. He is really liking the whole solids thing!
Friday we introduced the family to geocaching. We went to a local park to find some caches. Liam even got his first swag, a rubber ducky! My sister in law is hooked. She spent mich of that evening looking at a map of geocaches. I think we may have created a monster!
Saturday we went to play disc golf at a beautiful park by the beach. I've never played in the sand before, it gave the game an interesting chalange. I forgot my camera in the car. I was disapointed I did not get a chance to take pictures of the beautiful course. All the more reason to go back! After disc golf we headed downtown to eat lunch and do a little more geocaching. We found some pretty interesting ones and I can't wait to go back and find others. We only found ten all total for the weekend.
Sunday we packed up and went home. I think Liam missed everyone. He wasn't too happy just seeing me all day yesterday and today! I had to escape the house to my moms this afternoon just to make him happy. Oh the things we do for our kids!
