We were so thankful to get a few days with the Lotts when they came back for a visit last month. While they were in town we took the kids to "The Tumble Gym" to play and the kids had a great time! Here are a few photos... 
Sav has loved riding in her bike seat on the back of Cole's bike lately. We have had so much fun with her, but we can't decide which she likes more- the bike or the "hat".
I just found out my very talented sister-in-law has opened an Etsy shop to sell her beautifully designed Christmas cards. I am always SO impressed with her stuff and highly recommend her to anyone! I'm so excited that she's doing an Etsy shop now so I can share her with all of you :) Take a look. She's a great person to work with, and (have I mentioned?) she does an AWESOME job! I'll definitely be ordering mine through her!! Take a look HERE.
Savannah brought me the camera today, handed it to me, and said "CHEEEESE!" I guess she thought she was looking extra cute. She had me take three pictures and (as you can see) gave me a big, LONG "CHEEEEEESE!" for each one. Thought they were worth sharing :)
I finally got a photo of my baby bump. This was taken the day before I was officially 20 weeks... half way there!
We spent two days (about 2 hours each day) out on the beach. We went in the evenings when it was cooler and it was perfect! Savannah loved playing in the sand and water and could have stayed there all day, I think. I was really surprised how much she enjoyed it. 
Cole built her an awesome little water hole for her to sit in. It was the perfect size for her to splash around in and I didn't have to worry about waves hitting her. We did take her out into the ocean, and she didn't seem to mind the waves at all, though. I can't believe this is the same girl who SCREAMED when her toes hit pool water at the beginning of the summer. She's really doing great. Here she is helping Cole build her "pool".
Pretty impressive, don't you think? She was the envy of all the other babies on the beach!
And this last photo is grey because my lense was fogged up when I took it, but I thought I'd include it in the post because, for one, I think she looks adorable in her little cover-up, and two, you can see that her baby also joined us on our beach trip. Can't leave home without a baby doll or two!
So, we decided to let Savannah ride the carousel at Broadway at the Beach since she liked it so much when we were in Greenville. She enjoyed it and wanted to ride it a few times, but soon decided it was too tame for her! She had her eye on the other rides. We let her ride this little race car ride with Cole, and even though it was pretty tame, it really whipped them around that little track. She handled it well and we decided it call it a night.
The next day we went back and started slow with the carousel again. She wanted more excitement.
This whale ride was still way too slow for her, but I was so nervous to let her do anything else.
Next, I agreed to let her TRY the little boats that she had to ride in all by herself (NO DADDY!). I was nervous, but she walked right through the gate all by herself, walked about a quarter of the way around the ring of boats til she found the one she wanted, let the man lift her in and buckle her up, and then she did great! The man showed her how to ring the bell when he buckled her in and half way through she decided to give it a try. She LOVED it and I was so proud :)
The ride she had her eyes on the whole time was a caterpillar ride that is a typical fair ride that goes REALLY fast around a circle and then goes backwards. I did not want her to ride it, but she INSISTED and kept running back to it asking "please!", so we gave in and I talked with the man running it and asked him to watch her and he promised that he's stop it if Cole gave him the sign or if she started screaming. I was so thankful Cole was going with her, but I didn't need to worry. Again, she had a great time and wasn't phased by it at all. Doesn't she look so tiny in that seat?
From there we went for the little dune buggies. I started to relax about the rides and again she walked right in and chose the purple car and was ready to go. She did great until she decided she wanted to try out the back seat in the middle of the ride. She crawled out of her seat belt and was hurdling the seats when they had to stop the ride and get her off. Too brave for her own good!
Look at her go! Definitely gets that from Daddy!
