Beach Week!

We went to San Diego in July to join my family for their annual "Beach Week" camping trip.  Owen & I got to stay for two whole weeks, and it was so nice to have an extended trip and not feel rushed to do so much in just a few days.  We just relaxed most of the time, and I took advantage of my many built-in babysitters!  Brad joined us for the 2nd week, which was at the beach.  I was a little nervous how the week would go, since Owen is only crawling and putting everything in his mouth.  Sure enough-- he loved to crawl everywhere (would have crawled right into the waves if we would have let him) and to eat the sand... but isn't that a rite of passage for every baby.   He had so much fun, and besides the early morning wake up calls, he did great.  We took advantage of the early mornings and took walks along the beach.   Doesn't get much better than that!!
Owen spent a lot of time in the stroller and with this blanket.  Walks along the beach were a morning & evening ritual. 



 Pretty sure we had only been down by the water for less than 5 minutes before this happened!



 Enjoying some water time with Papa Urry

And some chair time with Noni!

 Wishing we would let him crawl face-first into the water... sorry Owen.


Just hanging with dad, probably eating gummy worms & drinking Dr. Pepper



 The pit was a great idea in theory, gave us about 10 minutes of immobility!

Owen's least favorite part of the day: bath time.  That water was cold!


Favorite part of the day: bottle time!
