Beach Bums

We went to the beach about a week ago with Michael and Lanette, and we had so much fun. This was Parker's very first trip to the beach, so I was anxious to see if he would love it...or hate it. He had a really great time. He did get sick with a sinus, ear, and throat infection on the last day, but a trip to the after-hours clinic on the way home took care of that! Michael and Lanette were great sports and a huge help with Parker. We can't wait to go back!! How about next weekend??!!


Getting used to the sand and water

Waving at everyone from the water

Parker loved playing with his sand toys

We even got to go look for hermit crabs one night. They were everywhere!

A new love...

Parker got a new toolbench last weekend, and he LOVES it! My grandmother gave Parker money for his birthday so we could get him something fun for the summer. My mom found this at a consignment sale, and we're so glad. It provides hours of entertainment...literally. He will stay outside as long as we'll let him, but we don't have to chase him all over because he gets so caught up in playing!! It could be my favorite toy of the summer.


Hammering nails in the wood

Getting a little more play in before bedtime

My dad took on the huge project of expanding our pantry, so Parker loved to go in and "help" him. My dad left to go overseas for a business trip, but Parker keeps walking into the pantry looking for him!!
