The Beach 2010

Here are some fun photos of our family's vacation at the beach the week before Labor Day! 

Ben wasn't a beach-lover at first...he'd scoot across the sand and when he got tired of it, he'd point (and then scoot) towards the stairs back to the condo.  I watched one time to see what he'd do if we didn't take him back, and he scooted all the way to the steps, crawled up them, and started scooting across the boardwalk.  He meant business!  By week's end he was more interested in the water and willing to play a bit more in the sand.

Little Miss "C" is a beach gal.  She skipped and sang and played in the surf and sand like it was something she'd been doing every day of her life.  The funniest thing that happened is at the condo - one day she decided that she needed/wanted to get her bathing suit on while out on our deck.  So that naked little girl stood outside and struggled with her suit...that day and EVERY day afterwards!  Hysterical...

The best we could do getting everyone to smile and look at the camera!!
It took a while for Little Man to get used to the beach!

Ben's 1st "taste" of the surf in the ocean!
