The Watsons in Wilmington

Isla & Ian, our little floaters

Happy little I.J. loved the water
Filson practicing his back float
Vada was clearly not happy that swim time was over for the night!
Little Boo-G sat and observed Thursday night, but pulled out his suit Friday night to see what he'd been missing out on.

It was such a treat to have the Watson's come to town! Jay & Donna have been visiting the Cunningham's in Raleigh & on Thursday they brought Isla down to Wilmington. They helped me with the boys in the afternoon, then Anna Leigh & Vada arrived in the evening & we headed to their hotel for pizza & swimming. The kids were little fish & would have spent the night in the pool if we would have let them.
We all met at the Children's Museum Friday morning. The two little ones crawled around in the toddler area while the big 3 became astronauts, artists, grocers, and a princess while exploring the other exhibits. We took a walk along the riverfront & had lunch downtown, which was surprisingly enjoyable considering we had 5 tired munchkins in our company ; )
We topped it all off with .... more swimming! The boys are so grateful to Jay & Donna for giving them a chance to swim & I am so grateful to them for wearing out the boys so that they slept like champions! We had a really fun visit & really appreciate them making the drive down to see us!

Looks like a fabulous time! Wish we could of been there. It appears that the Gaddum boys love water, just like their parents. You'll have so much fun with summer out on the water with them all! :)

Man, been trying to get on your blog for 2 wks! FINALLY! We had such a great time with you and the boys!! Just sorry we missed John. So glad I finally got to go to the Children's Museum - it was wonderful. And loved walking in the downtown area. Thanks for coming to the pool - we all had a blast! Know the kids didn't want to get out!
