We are back from our week at the beach. We all had a great time, and Kevin was as terrific as a one year old can be to travel with. He did well on the plane rides and kept busy with tons of snacks, keys, smiling at strangers, playing with our cell phones & keys, and did I mention the tons of snacks!
We flew to Philadelphia last Friday night & stayed wit Lori & Kenny. Saturday morning the guys played golf and the rest of us headed to the beach. On the way we stopped at an awesome farm stand. We didn't even have to prompt Kevin, he walked right up to the bushel of tomatoes and took a sniff. Very cute.
We had great weather everyday. Sunday was Kevin's first day at the ocean. He was not scared at all. The water got warmer everyday, and by the end of the week it was perfect. We taught Kevin to jump when the waves came. This, combined with the fresh air made him very tired. Magically (with the help of Grandpop) Kevin actually took a nap on the beach. This phenomenon was not to be repeated for the rest of the tip. He played in the sand a bit, but really preferred the water instead. We made friends with other cute babies on the beach and shared sand toys with a few nice families.
Getting dressed for the beach is no easy task. Lots of slippery moments with all that sunscreen.
This is proof that he really took a nap on the beach!
It was a perfect week, and a perfect way to remember my 30th birthday. For my birthday, we had a great dinner at the house with everyone. The next night me, Nate, Kenny & Lori went to the Lobster House in Cape May. It was a very old fashioned, seashore restaurant and a perfect way to celebrate. Lori has photos of us with our lobster bibs, I will post those soon. While we were out, Grandmom & Grandpop and Aunt Susie & Uncle Dick took Kevin to the Boardwalk to see the sights.
We loved playing Baggo!
Kevin met Kenny for the first time on this trip. I think they had lots of fun together (especially when Kenny let Kevin help play Baggo!)
