Beach fun

Because we live less than an hour from the Gulf of Mexico, our boys have seen the beach much more than the average kids.  But they still love playing in the sand, and are growing more adventurous when it comes to the ocean.  Liam especially.  He liked to put his feet in.

Sometimes Daddy lent a hand.

Yes, you can still play trucks in the sand!!  The dump truck was a hit all week.

For those were are wondering, dump trucks can also be worn as hats.

How cute is this boy?

And how different from this little guy from just a year ago.

Speaking of little guys, we finally got to meet Tyson (officially known as "Baby Tyson" in our house), who is Ryan and Deci's new son.  He was fun to hang around and tolerated his cousins well, and their desire to give him knuckles.  Check out the smile!

The new family.

Mum-Mum and Pop-Pop bought boogie boards for the kids (and adults) this year, but the boys weren't interested yet.  Tim tried it out... 

...and so did Deci.  I think Deci managed with much more flair!

Liam made sure to get in some quality time and hung out with Aunt Heidi,

and also with Pop-Pop.

 

Can we just go back to the beach right now?
