We just returned from a week long vacation in OBX. We had a blast! The house we stayed at had a private pool, which was great. Roo was so excited to go swimming and all we heard him say all week was 'Roo all wet!' Roo was pretty careful around the pool and a bit timid in the pool but after a week of swim lessons from dada and grandma he got a lot more comfortable in the pool. Silly Roo was so careful around the pool, but proved he was related to mommy when he was pushing his truck around the pool and wasn't looking and fell right in. We kept a close eye on him anytime he was around the pool, he quickly grabbed his truck and kicked his feet so he was able to float and dada scooped him right out of the pool. Roo thought falling into the pool was pretty scary. 
Love Bug also loved the pool. We put him in his little swimmer float thing and he just loved it. He kicked his feet around and just floated all around the pool as happy as could be. We were thinking he'd do great even without the floaty thing but we decided not to test the theory out. Why mess with happiness!
The weather was spectacular all week. It didn't get warmer than the mid-80's a single day. Dada went golfing with Grandpa a couple of times and grandma and I watched the boys while they were out. We had nice family dinners outside on the deck at the house each night and discovered that Roo loves corn on the cob!
One morning while it was still early we headed out to the 4x4 beaches toward Carova. We headed just about a mile up, parked the car and played by the water for just a little bit. As beautiful as it was, the 4x4 beach is really like a highway on sand and definitely not the safest place for little ones. That was really the only time we went to the beach though, Roo pretty much stayed in the pool all day long!
And, what would be a family vacation without......teething! That's right, it looks like Love Bug has at least 2 teeth coming in; one on top and one on the bottom; he doesn't have any yet. When we went on our first vacation with Roo he got a double ear infection from teething two of his incisors....that was fun! And when we went to Maine last year, Roo was teething molars. If only teething made the boys happy instead of grumpy!
Roo couldn't wait to get home and tickle Baxter. I think it's safe to say, the whole family was exhausted and happy to see their beds tonight....especially Love Bug who slept in our closet all week (it was a big closet). We had so much fun we're already looking up OBX rentals for next summer!
