Seaside

Last weekend we all took a trip to Seaside with Chance's family. I was a bit nervous to say the least. I didn't know how Luke would handle his first night away from home. To my shock he did surprisingly well. He napped in the car both ways (not very long naps, but at least he napped!) And believe it or not, he actually took an hour and a half nap on Saturday in the port-a-crib. He slept well both nights we were there (his bedtime was later than normal) with the exception of one crying episode. He was still a tired boy, therefore cranky at times but overall I could tell he enjoyed the new surroundings to explore and we had a great time and took lots of pictures!

Here he is after waking up from his nap on the way down. He proceeded to play peek-a-boo with me using his blanket.

Here he is walking to the beach. And unless you want the full fury of his tantrum unleashed you'd best let the boy walk all by himself.

Luke and Asher pausing to observe each other. I find it so funny to watch the little ones looking at each other. They are really starting to interact and "talk" to each other. It's really fun.

Ah yes, the beach. Luke loved it, though I think he was more excited at the open area to walk freely than the ocean itself.

Asher had his pants rolled up because right when we got there he stumbled into a little tide pool and got his pants all wet. Poor Asher!

Dane getting in on the fun.

Cole giving me a normal smile. Wow!! :)

Borne with his Daddy, MG. It is HILARIOUS the way he says Chance's name. When Chance was outside one time, he asked, "Where's Ch-auunce?" Like he had a british accent.

Asher taking it all in.

Luke with his Daddy and Grandpa Bud.

Can I just say that Luke has the best Father ever? They love playing together. And since Chance is home a lot more this summer, Luke seems to be getting very attached. He gets upset if Chance is about to leave the room. Oh, he's fine if I leave by the way.

"Uncle Chance" went on a ride in the bumper cars with Dane and Cole. Luke didn't seem to like his Dad leaving him for a short time.

Luke liked watching the carousel. Next time we'll have to take him for a ride.

Does this boy look tired to you? Well he was and he took an almost 4 hour nap the day after we got home from this busy trip!
