"Lunch on the go - yum!"
After Mom and Dad met us at the condo (on a scooter!), we picked up some grub and headed out to the beach. It was time for Ben to meet the ocean and learn where that noise he hears on his sound machine really comes from...
Road tripping, ocean swimming (and sting ray sighting!) can sure take a lot out of a baby. And getting reunited with his aunt and grandma sent him right into a sunset siesta.
We've come a long way since our last beach trip, as Ben actually slept through the night during our stay and took reasonably lengthy naps everyday! In between those naps and eating and playing with his toys, we even got him out on the beach a couple of times. I just noticed that he's holding his fish in all of these beach shots, which is really appropriate, because he seriously would not let go of that fish! Well, until it fell into the ocean one too many times, at which point it was replaced by a ball...as you'll see in later photos.
"At the copa, copacabana..."
"Oh Dad, it tickles, it tickles!"
Ben also did a lot of flying over the weekend, as the following montage demonstrates!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's Super Ben!
Super-Cute Ben that is.
Fortunately for us, Hurricane Gustav didn't make his presence known until late in the day on Sunday...and you can see our response in the video on Jess's blog. But 28 years ago that day, someone else made their presence known too, and I'm oh so glad he did. :)
Happy Birthday, Tyler! As your wise old wife, let me tell you that 28 ain't so bad! Since I didn't get you a card (what?!), I'll just tell you here that I love you and am so glad that you're my husband. Ben and I are thankful for everything you do for us and look forward to lots of fun with you this year!

We were driving up from Seagrove on Thursday! We probably passed you on the way! Sounds like you had a great time!
Such a cute post- it makes me relive how much fun we had!
LOL at this, by the way:
"At the copa, copacabana..."
You're so funny. :)
