Enjoying Sweet Summer Time!!!

The weather here this week has been absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Clear, blue, sunny skies all week long!! It has been so great, especially after the numerous storms we had last week. I have been taking advantage of this nice weather by going on lots of walks with Graham, feeding the ducks with Graham, and going to the pool with John and Graham!
Today we decided to go to the beach!! It was Graham's first beach experience. At first he wasn't so sure of the sand, but then he became comfortable with it :). He eventually started crawling around in it. He DID NOT like the water though. The lake was slightly chilly, but I think it was the waves that scared him.


Graham looked so so cute in his sunglasses!!! I was bummed he wouldn't keep them on!!


Graham did alot of this in the beginning...just kinda staring at the sand and the water, wondering where the heck he was at.


John started making a sand castle and Graham seemed to enjoy picking up the sand and "helping" :). After awhile, John took Graham into the water to cool off, but Graham wanted nothing to do with the water.








We had a lot of fun at the beach, but quickly realized that lazy beach days of laying in the sun, reading magazines and doing nothing are probably on hold for awhile :). A 9 month old makes for a active day at the beach :). I wouldn't have it any other way though!!!
Finally, a trip to the beach is not complete unless it concludes with ice cream!!!! We visited our FAVORITE ice cream shop on our way home. They have my favorite ice cream EVER, peppermint patty. SOOO good!!! I love creating fun memories!!
