Family Beach Trip 2012

 So to say that there are a LOT of pics would be an understatement, so I'll give a brief summary of the trip and get to the many photos.  Ethan was a trooper for the car ride down and back; LOVED LOVED LOVED floating in the lazy river, enjoyed the baby pool, liked the sand on the first day and was fascinated by the waves; scared of the waves on our second beach day, but totally fine with chilling in the shade, under the tent, in the baby float filled with water and toys.  LOVED playing with his cousins, and LOVED getting spoiled by his Gam Gam and Pop Pop (also known as "yeah"-according to Ethan); and how could I forget, pointed out any and ALL birds (as you could imagine there were plenty), but called them all "ducks"... (Many a photo interrupted by "ducks" flying overhead...) Great trip had by all, now for the "grandparent detox week"...
Hope you enjoy the pics as much as we did capturing these fun moments!


 First time at the pool
Mr. Cool

"A duck"

Swimming and a ball, could life get any better?

You talking to ME?

Now this is the life!

"bbbbbbbbbbbb"

Beach Day
1st time "in the sand"

I like it!

Filling up the bucket

Like my chair, not so sure about the ocean...

Thanks Gam Gam and Pop Pop for building all these castles for me to knock down!
Throwing the sand, definitely his favorite part of this day! 

Keeping an eye on those waves...


Attempting a "Portrait" Session on the beach....

One of the few smiles while looking in the direction of the camera...

"A duck!"

Waving at Gam Gam


Where did that "duck" go?

Clapping for myself...

Yep, another "duck"

More self-applauding

Enough of this towel, I want that sand!

Love my Daddy!!!


Sweet boy!

Smiling at Gam Gam

Love him!

You guessed it! "a duck"


 Beach Day #2
Happy as a clam in his boat filled with water under the tent

Natalie Kate, also happy as long as she was under the tent in a chair or lap!

It's like a bathtub outside!


Checking out the ocean with Daddy...

Nope, still scared of those loud waves!

Telling Carson all about it!

E keeping an eye on the waves instead of the camera!

 Carson and Dalton; of course they were this sweet to one another the whole week ;)

Random Pics
Chilling with Mommy in the lazy river!

Not interested in getting my picture made with Daddy...

Too much to explore!!

His "blow kiss" face

Daddy and "Car Car"
Distracted by "a duck" outside while enjoying ice cream!!

So silly!!! (maybe the sugar from the ice cream?)
E and NK, buddies!



What a fun trip!!

We had such a fun and relaxing week!  Such a blessing to be able to spend time and make fun memories with family!  Special thanks to Gam Gam and Pop Pop for providing such a great place to stay and for the delicious meals that they prepared.
