1st Beach Trip

We had a great week at the beach with Andrea's family, and we made it home in just under 6 hours, after stopping 4 times for "Ethan issues".  No complaints though, as he slept last night from 9 pm until 6 am today!!!!  Actually his sleeping "through" the night took on new meaning while at the beach; he was so worn out from all of the excitement that at least 3 nights, he went 10-12 hours in between bottles!!  Don't worry though, as you see in the pictues below, he is still well fed!! 

He had fun with his Gam Gam and Pop Pop and his Uncle Heath and Aunt Kelly.  He was also well-entertained by his cousins who are 8 yrs., 6 yrs., and 11 months.  The 8 yr. old and 6 yr. old love playing with him; the 11 month old is not a big fan of his and tries to swat at him if she can get close enough... We have faith that she'll come around eventually; he certainly loves watching her crawl and pull up and get into things! 

Ethan loved loved loved the lazy river at the condo pool.  The first night, I'm not sure that he blinked, he was trying so hard to take it all in!  He especially loved when he and his Daddy passed under the palm trees.  He also seemed to like the beach; he seemed intrigued by the breeze and kept sticking out his tongue, as if he could taste the wind. 

Hope you enjoy a few of our pictures from the week. 

Snuggling with Pop Pop; we took some great naps together!

Hanging out with Daddy on the balcony.

All that work, getting my sunscreen on and
finding a spot in the shade at the pool wore me out!

But, I woke up from my nap in great mood!

If my shorts say it, it must be true!

Daddy called this my "scare crow hat"

Daddy's so funny!

The beach, I was cool in the shade!

That breeze did crazy things to my hair!

I love my Daddy!

Mommy, enough with the pictures!

This was the closest I got to the ocean...

Maybe next year, they'll let me at those waves...



Ahh, the lazy river, my FAVORITE!

 

We had a great time and were so glad to get to spend time with family and Ethan; it was a very relaxing and fun trip.  Thanks to Gam Gam and Pop Pop for a wonderful family vacation!
