Beach Days

Once again it has been more than a month since my last update.

And what a month it has been! Here is a quick recap:

Chad went to camp

Chad turned 31

Chad went to camp again

Seamus turned 7 months old (wow time flies)

My summer classes finally ended

We took our first trip to the beach with Shay

My new class started at work

While all of that may not seem like a lot considering Chad was gone for more than 1/2 of the month it was crazy! Now on to the real reason for this post:

Our First Family Beach Trip

My mom's side of the family has been going to the beach every year since 1989 and this was Shay's first year as a BeachNut :) We had a great time, Shay was a little scared about the waves, but he really liked the sand and his little baby pool. We had so much fun and can't wait to go back again next year!

Shay looking around his first time down on the beach.

Shay loved his baby pool. He really liked standing up but he learned that the water makes him slip and maybe standing up was not the best choice.

The aftermath. Shay got more than one face full of sand while we were at the beach. He didn't mind the sand so much but he did not like getting rinsed off with the cold water!

Since we were on vacation Dad and Grandpa decided to give Shay a little treat of Klondike bar. He loved it, but really who wouldn't!

We got to spend a lot of time together and there were smiles all day long!

Shay also got to spend sometime with his new Uncle Michael (my sister got married just before we all came to the beach) Shay enjoyed stealing his hat and wearing it!

Those are some highlights from our trip. I will leave you will a picture of the moon from our deck. The nights at the beach are so clam and this picture I think really captures that.
