Beach Bums

Addis and Parker joined a few of their other cousins and Lleyton yesterday for their inaugural trip to the beach.  Parker loved it.  He was fearful at first to venture too far out but after getting the hang of it he joined his cousins and uncle Doug for some wave riding. 

Addy spent most of her time enjoying the feel of the sand while Lleyton made his way back and forth between the water and sand. 

Not surprisingly we took a few pictures from the trip.

Addy and Parker were enamored, as usual, with Lleyton's sense of adventure.

I really like this picture of cousin Avery enjoying her time in the sand while the boys make their way out to the waves.

Our trip to the see the ocean was a fairly brief, as we were pretty excited to get back home and into the pool.  Lleyton has gone from being a bit fearful of going under when the week began to diving off the diving board with a reckless abandon. 

THE APPROACH

THE DIVE

We finished up the day with a family trip over to see Gregg Russell under the live oak tree at Harbour Town.  We got there a little early which gave Addy and I a little time to reflect on that happenings of the last week and a half.  We have come a long way, both distance wise and relationship wise.  I love my little girl more than I could have imagined.

Lleyton was on a bit of roll before the musician took the stage, as he and his cousin Drew entertained the ever growing crowd with their very impressive dance moves.  He lost his way shortly thereafter and forgot how to use his "listening ears" so he had to make an unceremonious early exit from the stage.  He was none-too-happy.
