Last month my bestie Bridget was up in Naperville with her in-laws for a couple days and came out to see us for a few hours.  Yay!  Bridget and I have been friends for almost 15 years and it's kind of surreal to see our children playing together.  Lucky for us we had a nice warm day and were able to spend some time playing at the beach.

at least they're all looking in the general direction of the camera

Our day at the beach...

Parker Goes to the Beach

On Saturday the weather was PERFECT so we thought we'd take the Man to the beach. It had been awhile since we'd been there, so we wanted to see how he'd react to the sand. I thought for sure he wouldn't like it because he can't stand to be on grass, but he loved it! It wasn't long after I set him on the towel, that he crawled off to explore.

He loved to pick up seaweed and rocks...

and then eat them.

This is our favorite picture of the day. Sam and I crack up every time we see it. Faceplant!

Labor Day

This Labor Day we finally took our first trip to the beach! We went down to Del Mar (which is only 15 min. from our house BTW!) with our friends Bob and Becky, and their little boy Shane. We had such a fun day!
