To the Beach We Go!

Nothing beats heading to the beach!  And Ocean Grove is particularly sweet to us, so that's where we all went earlier this month.  We packed up our gear and hit the sand! 

On this day (August 4, 2013), our boy saw and experienced the ocean for the first time!  He was scared and held onto me tightly, so we didn't push him to do any more than what he wanted.  But, frankly, I treasured his sweet tight grip on me!  We sat together on the water's edge for a long time and watched the waves come in and tickle our toes.


Cousins have fun together as we wait for breakfast to be served.

Addie loves Liam!

Can you believe we got front row parking?!

What immense fun we had.  We can't wait to take Liam back to the beach!
