Beach Bums

Blackberries with sand - a little extra fiber never hurt anyone!

My boy & I

Catching Nemos - using our raft, net, & goggles. We were unsuccesfull until Dada stepped in - pro fishing might be in his future

My boys playing in the waves

Will LOVES building & digging in the sand!

Showing off his muscles at lunch

We found lots of crabs in the ocean. Will enjoyed collecting them, throwing them, teasing me about eating them, & watching them play in his frisbee home he made them.

We believe in child labor - Will helped move our stuff to the beach

Enjoying lunch (& a sucker) at our favorite little beachfront restaurant- Schooners

One morning was rainy but that didn't stop this fam from enjoying the beach
or at least - enjoying the view from under our tent

My man & I

PB & J on the beach - yum!

Swimming in the ocean with Lovie

The water in September is perfect at the beach - warm & lovely. And there is no one at the beach so it's been great to have it practically to ourselves! Will LOVES swimming in the ocean now - no longer is he fearful about the waves at all!

Happily swimming away from mama in the ocean

Mr. Happy

For the first time ever, Will made a friend in the airplane. He's always social while flying - he loves walking down the aisle to his seat giving high fives. But, this time, he found someone his age (3 mts younger) in line to board. We sat together with Blake's family & only wished we lived closer to them so we could have playdates. The kids became instant friends- calling each other's names & passing various toys, books, trucks, etc through the seats to share with each other. They were so stinking cute! When we got off the plane, Blake ran to Will & gave him a huge hug! Then, the boys helped wear each other out & ran all the way to baggage claim together. Oh, they were precious!

Playing on the beach - chasing waves & chasing seagulls! Remember to scroll to the bottom of the blog & hit pause on the music playlist so you can hear the videos!

I LOVE this one: R decided to teach Will how to stalk the seagulls- just cracks me up. I'm sure the seagulls were surprised as certainly they couldn't see them - 2 people - crawling on the beach!

Coming Soon - more beach pics of course & our next adventure for today - exploring the Big Easy with Will
