At the beach with Hot Cup's co-worker.
Our little guy got pretty tired. Here he's resting on my leg while playing hide-the-boat-behind-the-hat. He finally took a quick nap after lunch.
Joseph's kite & kite climber were a hit. A couple lifeguards told him it was the coolest kite they'd seen.
We decided to leave the beach when it started to rain and were thankfully gone before the heavy storm came through. The entering the ocean part of this beach trip would have to wait.
As the storm let up we enjoyed walking the boardwalk and visiting a few shops, including The Kite Loft. Our baby was tired so I was pleasantly surprised at how much he enjoyed the rides at Trimpers. We started with the little carousel and Hot Cup tells me he clapped at the end to express his approval.
Day 2: Assateague Island
Wild horses!
Storing unopened snacks in a beach bag is not good enough.
Looks like some of them are pregnant!
The focus on the last one is off because I had to secure my Protective Momma Grip on my baby before lifting the camera, obvs. My little guy was excited to see them so close though! He did his excited all-limb dance and grunts which may be a dangerous signal to give to some animals. I think he would have gone after them if I hadn't scooped him up. And, you know, if he wouldn't have had to crawl on sand.
We're on the beach too!
Hot Cup is out there working on his two line kite skills.
Hot Cup showed our baby the ocean. He was nervous about it at first but Hot Cup really made the whole thing so much fun and our little guy enjoyed being with his dad.
When I held him in the ocean for a bit a wave came up that was much bigger than the rest and the splash got him in the face a little. I don't have a very good track record of keeping our baby happy in the ocean. Hopefully I'll redeem myself next time. He was pretty good about it and easily consoled, but it was time to get him out of the sun.
That night he was so happy to get home and to sleep in his crib.
