First Beach Trip

Trenton went on his first beach trip to St. Simons Island, Georgia for Labor Day weekend. It was nice that Granna and Opa joined us down there, because Mommy and Daddy had Drew and Cassie's wedding. He did great on the road! I don't want to jinx it, but it appears the new carseat (and maybe the fact that he is a bit older) worked. Yay!!!

Trenton was as happy as we expected he'd be on the beach. He absolutely loves the outdoors, so our walks and beach time were nothing from the ordinary. Granna brought a blow up pool which was perfect under the tent. It kept Trenton from the sand--at least for most of the time--until he toppled over and found it. Let's just say the sand was just like every other item Trenton gets his hands on; it went straight in his mouth. His favorite part was feeling the water. Holding him up, we'd let him stand in the water. He loved the waves crashes into him and would bounce in excitement. He was so funny because he marches backward place--he's already learning to moon walk. :) We even got to the point where Mommy would sit in the water and the waves would crash into us.

During this time, Trenton was teething and got his top right tooth on Sunday. This probably messed with his sleeping schedule some--or the fact that he was in the middle of his second cold--because he was waking up in the middle of the night. It is a rude awakening for Mommy when he's been sleeping through the night since 3 months.

He loved splashing in the water.

Trenton couldn't keep his eyes off the water.

Mommy loves it when Trenton lays his head on my shoulder!

Our first beach trip as a family.

Although it was pretty overcast, we sure enjoyed the tent.

Daddy is so fun!

When Trenton found the sand, he wanted to play with it all the time.

Opa, Mommy and Trenton on our first walk the evening we arrived at the beach. He's already yawning but we just had to get out there for a short walk. (At some point he'll be begging us to stay up past his bedtime, just not right now.)

Trenton and I enjoyed our morning walks on the beach.

Sunrises and sunsets are always gorgeous at the beach.

Ready for our beach walks.
