Friday we made a trip downtown to John's office, had lunch with him and spent some time in the shops at the Cotton Exchange. That night we ate dinner at a restaurant on the ocean in Wrightsville Beach. Filson decided he was finished sooner than the rest of us (which has become a common practice with him lately) and rather than having him let the entire restaurant know that he was no longer willing to sit in his high chair, his dad took him outside for a walk on the beach. Hopefully he doesn't begin to think every time he fusses in his high chair he's going to get to step outside to the sight of the ocean!
Saturday was a rainy day, so the 4 of us headed to the mall where Filson tried out a couple of the rides and we soon found out he is not really in to the "motion" thing right now, so we didn't even attempt the big double decker carousel in the middle of the mall. However, he was mesmerized by watching the lights on it as it went round and round. He also spent a good part of the afternoon running around our house with his dad's cell phone either attached to his ear in "conversation" or "texting", as he's doing in the 2nd picture. He & Grandma spent Saturday night together so John & I could hit the town, which was very nice!
Today was a bit clearer & we were able to take a boat ride down to the beach for lunch and then head out to pick a pumpkin in the afternoon. Filson tried to lift all the pumpkins and finally found the one in the last picture that he was able to pick up, so it came home with us.
We're off to Charleston tomorrow, and very anxious to show Grandma the city & to see the Haldrup's!!

I would throw a fit if I could walk out and see the ocean too Fislon!! If we could only do that here in IA!! What fun for grandma to go to a pumpkin patch with you today! Sounds like it might be hard for grandma to leave Filson. You have been keeping her busy sightseeing, etc.
I love the last photo of Nancy and Filson-adorable! How cute that the pumpkin he was able to pick up came home with you!:)
I love the picture of him "texting". Isnt it too funny what they pick up on!!
