The BEACH!!!

Last weekend we got to spend a few days at Papa & Nana's condo in Isle of Palms (Charleston).  We hadn't been since Max was 2 months old so we were all extremely excited to go.  Luckily it was a sunny and mild weekend so it was easy to spend as much time outside as we wanted.  Friday we took all 3 boy down to the beach for a bit.  Max was a little intimidated by the waves but as long as he was holding on to one of us, he was fine.  By day 2, he was loving the ocean and the waves!  Kaelan, the same boy who when he was 2-years old, would run away from the waves screaming, "RUN!!!", and who we couldn't get off of the dunes to enjoy the ocean and the beach, simply couldn't get enough.  He was diving into the waves, body surfing (or at least attempting to), and trying to boogie board.  We got some excellent videos which I'll attempt to upload before I post this.  We also enjoyed spending time with Papa & Nana in a very special place where many, many happy childhood memories will be made for the boys.

Putting his feet in for the first time.  I had to hurry because he did not like being "in" without holding my hand.
We must have said something about the ocean roaring or something because Max decided he needed to  "ROAR" back at it.

Just love this face :)

And this one...haha!  I'm not sure if he took this of himself or if I did.  Oh my goodness, I'm just now realizing this is Max.  I've thought it was Kaelan this whole time.  GEEZ!!!

"Wait for me guys!!!!"

A sunny "cheese"

A very happy beach boy!!!

LOVE!!!!!!

He loves when Daddy buries him in the sand


We took him out the 1st day but he isn't too much of a fan of being hot so he spent the 2nd day inside with Papa and Nana.

Tuckered out from an exciting day at the beach

Playing in the sand was a highlight for all of us.  Mike always puts up our big tent thingy that my dad got us a few years ago.  It's the perfect thing to get everyone out of the sun when not in the water.  Thanks Grandpa!!!

Clearly he was much more comfortable in the water the 2nd day
