celebrate good times, part three!

we aspired to sit on the beach and read at our leisure while on vacation.

but.

our little third wheel kept throwing a wrench in our plans.  even though daddy tried his best to recreate the king-sized bed and air-conditioned conditions for the little guy.

somehow jonah could tell it wasn’t quite the same.

frosty, fruity beverages served beachside.  what’s not to love?

then again, being that little guy didn’t get to drink the frosty, fruity goodness and had a sweaty head to boot would both be valid reasons to not love the beach so much.  but he sure did love being held by daddy.

but dipping his toes into the water?

that was cause for some mild trepidation.

yep, jonah and his lily white skin weren’t big fans of this whole fun ‘n sun idea.

probably didn’t help that his squishy little legs didn’t have much clearance…

so methinks it’ll take a while before jonah and the ocean become friends.

alright, so i wasn’t entirely truthful when i said we didn’t do any excursions on this trip.  we did one.  we each signed up for a fifty-minute back, neck, shoulder massage and took turns going.  this was the outside part of the spa.  definitely good stuff.  so much so that phil came back raving (well, as much as phil raves about anything) about it and said he could see how people get hooked on going to spas.  heh heh.

meanwhile, young jonah was lounging in his favorite spot.

jonah actually did have his own pack-n-play bed to sleep in…

but more often than not ended up with us.  🙂

well, it IS hard to resist this sleeping baby goodness, isn’t it?

plus he’d distract us with his new tricks too.  guess who found his thumb!

even though adjustments had to be made with a little one along, it was still definitely fun to have him with us!

awww, last day of vacation…

and last meal of vacation…

really, really good times.

thanks for the memories, pv!

can’t wait to come back again someday!
