Lorelai’s 1st Ever Beach Day!

Saturday morning we were all pretty excited to get to the beach as quickly as possible so Lorelai could feel the sand for the first time! It made me think back to Kye’s first time on the beach…he was not even 3 months old (looking back at that post I cannot BELIEVE what he looked like! wow he looks soooo different now!). As everyone knows, Kye loves the water and we hoped Lorelai would too!

Once we realized Lorelai loved it, we knew we’d have a successful beach day. We went out EARLY (like 8:00) and by 10:30 we were done…so I guess when I say “beach day” I really mean “beach hours.” But you know how it is with kids, 2 hours FELT like a day 🙂 Here are more pictures of our Saturday morning on the beach:

…and people

cracking up as our son wouldn’t stop putting sand in his hair

umm, you’re not throwing sand in mommy’s hair…

trying to get this beach child to hold still for a picture is impossible

sorry to all my (many?) gay readers: they may not look like it here but these guys are straight!

while the guys and kids played Robyn and I had fun just taking TONS of pictures!

boogie boardin’

bubbles!!!

Good way to make your toddler stay still? Bury them in the sand!

lesson learned: drinking a cup covered in sand puts sand in your mouth

Learning early how to put a man in his place! You can tell who runs who in this relationship…

Ahhh…nothing better than a day at the beach 🙂
