beach baby

we had a long run of very hot days last month.  which meant we went looking for some relief…

beachside!  this is the one and only shot i got of this boy…

before he did this.

he didn’t care a bit about sand potentially getting in to his eye and proceeded about his business.  so while the others scampered off to splash in the ocean, here he squatted with his blue shovel and his sisters’ pink buckets.

completely ignoring those pink buckets but being endlessly fascinated by the sand.  and blue shovel.

pink buckets, you say?  when did these get here?

see this big huge rock?  prepare…

to be…

amazed!  hee hee, baby feats of strength amaze even the baby.

and then?  and then the baby ditched me.

to conquer the ocean.

he no longer has any qualms about running right in with no intention of stopping.

thankfully his daddy was right there to scoop him up before his diaper sucked up half the ocean.

he kept wanting to get in those waves, though.

plotting his next escape.

wishing for freedom…

like the freedom these two enjoy.

or even to make some type of ocean soup like the one this girl is making.

but alas, he’s stuck being the baby still.

and as it turns out, wasn’t the only one sporting a sand-face.

which makes them both my beach babies.
