Relaxing Before the Work Starts

We have a lot to do before heading to North Carolina in a few months.  We were lucky enough to have a few days of rest and relaxation in Long Beach Island, a great seaside town on the Jersey Shore.

Patrick meets the Jersey shore.

I thought he would be frightened and/or cold of the water and waves, but he LOVED it.  He couldn't get enough of the ocean, even when the waves hit him smack in the face!

Patrick got his first dose of "Noggin."  I think he liked it.

Winding down before bed.

We didn't bring a booster seat and he could barely see over the table, so we did what we had to.  Interestingly enough, he did really well eating this way.  And he got to wear Uncle Joe's hat over his own.

Patrick and Cousin Gabriel got along famously.  When they weren't fighting, that is.  :)

Patrick climbed into the wagon and kept saying "bye bye".
