At the Beach--Part 1

We were on the road by 5:30 on Sunday morning to begin our week-long vacation at the beach. :) The trip was uneventful, and we spent the rest of the day just getting settled into the house and relaxing--it is amazing how much STUFF we brought along! Vacationing with a baby definitely changed our packing list this year. Today we headed out to our favorite 4-wheel drive section, anxious to see what Ryder would think of the sand and water. He seemed to enjoy it at first and even took a nice "lap nap" under the shade of the umbrella with me. Despite lathering sunscreen on him three different times, his arms, legs, and face turned as red as a lobster. I was afraid he was getting a sunburn, and he was covered in sand from head to toe, which seemed to irritate him even more. We decided to call it a day, and by the time we got back to the house his color had returned to normal. My hot-blooded little guy had just gotten too warm--thankfully no sunburn! Before heading back to the beach tomorrow, I think we will buy a small inflatable kiddy pool for him to splash around in since he can't exactly swim in the ocean yet.

Ryder was squeezing Kendall's cheeks even though it looks more like an eye-gouging!

Good morning, Kendall!

Ryder's first swing ride! He loved it and smiled the whole time. :)
