The Ocean, Sand and Sunshine

We have returned from our week of relaxation. Joel's grandma rents a beach house every other summer in Nags Head, North Carolina, so this past week we were back east enjoying the sun and water. It was so fun spending time with family and having a week of sleeping, eating, playing in the ocean, laying out in the sun, eating a little more and shopping. I thought Lukas would love the pool and the ocean, but it took almost the entire week for him to warm up to the idea of being in water with his clothes on. But he had a good time with all the aunts, uncles and cousins. He misses the east coast family already :) Thanks again Grandma for such a fabulous week, we love you!




Lukas was so good on all the airplane rides...he made new friends on every flight!

Hanging out on the balcony watching the ocean.

This was the first day at the beach...can you tell how much he loved it.

The next day he was ready to try skim boarding.

Jon, Kyle and Joel trying out the waves...

His favorite part of the whole beach thing was eating the sand, he could not get enough of it!

What a fun vacation for your cute family! I'm so glad you got to get away from the stresses of life, especially with all you had going on...like making life changing decisions!
