Beach!

Yep, so I am a beach bum! I don't know why, but my ideal vacation is nothing but sittin' on the beach. Maybe playing in the water. A little.

Anyway, this was our first day at the beach. The condo is about a block away, and couldn't be more perfectly situated. This was Spencer's first experience at the beach, and he is an expert at beach-tasting. The doctor says that eating beach is not harmful to his health. I guess that's a relief. Maybe eating sand on a regular basis would help his digestion.

In any case, it was pretty amusing to watch Jonah's progression in depth. On the first day, he would only get his feet wet. Each day he would progress further and further out, until finally on the last day, he made it as far as his knee level in water depth! Needless to say we were quite proud of him.

A quick comment on the pictures of Grandpa Gray: no, he did not sleep the whole day away at the beach in that one spot. It just so happened that for the few minutes I actually had a camera in hand, that was his post--holding up that rock wall. He actually took a lot of these pictures with his own camera.

Oh yeah...a couple of those houses on the beach were for sale. Bargain price of $4.99 Million.

how fun!! My favorite things were SPencer's reaction when a wave hit him, Jonah's hair, and Jon's just-dive-in attitude. I'm so glad you had a good experience!

So funny when Spencer was trying to figure out what sand was! That was a crack up! I can't believe he ate it! Yuck!

Hey, nice sandcastle! That's pretty cool! There's something we can't do at PP. At least not easily.

Way to drag Jon out into the waves Jason! That's what we'd have to do to our kids for sure.

Cute pics of everyone! That's a nice beach! Tons of fun!

See you soon,
Danya
