Fall Beach Trip

We went to the beach a couple of weeks ago. We had a great time. Last October I got the cutest pic of Nate and Darren holding hands and looking at the ocean. I thought I would get another picture of them doing this to show how much Nate has grown the past year. Nate would have no part of it.

The weather was good for the most part, but this was by far the nicest day. The sky was that beautiful blue that I think of when I think of fall and the water was gorgeous. I love how this picture shows the vastness of the ocean compared to Nate. It reminds me of the lyrics of the song Ocean by Ten Shekel Shirt that says "There's something about the ocean - makes me rise up and praise."

These were a couple of my favorite pictures from our trip. I didn't even try to get any family photos. They say choose your battles and I didn't feel like choosing that one.

Toward the end of our trip we were in Publix and I spotted this Super Why doll. Nate LOVES Super Why. I knew that I had to get it for him. When I showed it to him, I don't think he quite knew what to think about it. He just walked around the store holding it and giggling. It was pretty funny. In this picture he and Super Why are watching Thomas. Thomas is also becoming one of his favorites.

Here are a few more fun pictures. Nate had such a great time playing in the sand and the water. He loved building sand castles with Darren. He actually loved for Darren to make the castle so he could immediately destroy it. He also loved to chase seagulls, except he called them seasulls.
