The Boys First Trip to the Beach
Yesterday we took the boys to the beach for the first time. Alex and Junior had been asking to go to the beach since some time this Winter when we were doing a yoga video and they got all excited seeing the beach. Of course, I was all into this..took a little longer to get Rob to commit (plus to find time to squeeze it into our schedules). Thankfully, we thought ahead and called Rob's Aunt Jean who has a place at the beach and luckily she was there. Not sure how we would have dealt with nap time without her. Plus it was the first time she was able to meet the boys and we had a blast!

Alex was a little unsure of the water but would venture in with Aunt Jean. Rob made a good point when he said "I can't imagine going to the beach the first time as a 5 year old". By the end of the day he allowed Rob to carry him into the water pretty deep and even took a slap in the face from a wave..and still wanted to go back in one more time!
Junior and Noe went back and forth from water to sand. They loved sitting down at the edge of the waves and letting the water (and sand!) wash over them. But they also both entertained themselves in the sand - digging, finding shells, making little castles, and eventually Junior burying himself in the sand!
But Noe definitely enjoyed the water the most. By the afternoon he was holding onto my finger and almost laying back in the water. I think he would have walked in over his head if he could've made it out there. He let Rob carry him way out and wanted to go back out time and time again! As you can see from the pictures he LOVED it!
