At the end of August we headed down to the beach. When we decided to move and told Tucker about it, we told him all the things he could do in Texas; visit his other grandparents, go swimming, go to the beach, etc. All summer he has been looking forward to visiting the beach. We had a great time! We went with my parents, sisters and new brother-in-law. Both boys LOVED it. They didn't even mind the salt water in the their face or sand everywhere. One day we took Charlie out in the waves and my dad held Charlie on a float and Chars loved just rocking in the waves. Tucker liked collecting seashells and building sand castles. Charlie also wanted to eat as much sand as he possibly could. Both Adam and I weren't too fond of that, but where do you place your child on the beach to redirect him from eating sand? :) We'll definitely have to make a trip to the beach again.
Allie was holding Charlie, and doing nosy nosy and for some reason he was so still for her. He stayed close to her face for a few minutes and we all laughed. I don't know if he was just mesmerized by Allie, or he liked smelling the mint in her mouth.
We also took a few family pictures before everyone left or leaves Texas.
This picture makes the water look super gross, but it really isn't. It is kind of brown, but I hear it's because in the Gulf it mixes with a lot of sand as water empties into it from the Mississippi River. So it's not like garbage water or anything. :)
