Beach fun!

This was Graham's first fun trip to the beach! Lots of excited new things came his way! Little did we know that our little guy would LOVE the water, sand, and sunshine as much as he did. Graham loved every minute of the beach, picking up shells and putting them in his bucket, splashing in the pool and ocean, riding in his big boat with daddy, and eating sand when mommy and daddy weren't looking! We had a blast! All parents wonder what their child is going to do with the texture of sand, will they like it, or hate it? Graham loved picking it up and throwing it on his feet, or putting it in his green bucket! I was amazed at the excitement graham showed the first day at the beach. It was like free range for him! He would crawl as fast as his little legs would go and then sit up on his knees and throw his hands in the air waving them, then shout out a loud squeel! It was freedom crawling! No furniture to look out for, or anything to bump into....he could just go!!!!!
Here is Pops and Bi Bi with Graham on the beach! They loved every minute with him! We were very thankful to spend some quality time with them and Graham always loves any extra attention from not only grandparents but anyone who will show him some sweet lovin! These are the memories I will remember... 1. Pops and Graham walking down the beach with Graham on his shoulders. 2. Bi bi and Graham playing in the sand together, 3. Graham falling asleep in his stroller with the ocean being his noise maker, 4. Graham watching Pops fish, 5. Graham being pulled in his red radio wagon, 6. Sand everywhere, 7. Graham learning to walk!! So many fun memories I wish I could hold onto and stop time, but each stage so far with Graham just get more joyful and exciting....will I say that when he is 16?
Our sweet daddy- gosh how thankful we are for him! Ok- Mike couldn't wait to put Graham in this boat! He was more excited than Graham! Daddy loves playing with Graham and loves his boy- sometimes I just stop and watch the two of them and think in my head, "How could I have asked for a better man to father our children!" He loved playing in the pool with Graham and seeing his thrill for water and sand!





Here is our family on the 4th! We had a fun night with cousins and all as we watched fireworks on the beach. Graham loved all the colors but wasn't so sure about the noise. So we stood inside the condo and watch the bright burst of colors explode in the air through the window. As each firework went off Graham would point up in the air and say.."daaaa" over and over again! We think that means, "that."! I have lots more pictures to come I just wanted to get a post up for all of you who are asking for some beach pictures!
