mom's $28 mistake


the temps have been cooler here. i didn't pack garrett a single long-sleeved item! no jacket, no shirt, no pants! lesson learned...it DOES still get cool @ the beach on occassion. of course, brian didn't pack one for himself, either, so...garrett & brian both scored new t-shirts this week. how is that garrett's only costs $2 less than brian's??? they get away with crazy prices around here, for sure.

but...our day was still lovely...this AM, garrett slept in until 8:30 (which is 9:30 eastern!). the nicest part? brian & i did too (do you sense the recurring sleep theme in my blog posts about this vacation?)!!! we hit the beach after breakfast & little guy was like a maniac trying to dive into the cool water. we were out on a sandbar where he could walk around w/ minimal waves & he wanted to just go face forward into the water. we were fighting to keep our hands on him!

after lunch the dude slept for a 3.5 hour nap...meanwhile, brian biked up to the local gas station for a can of *fix a flat*!!! when we returned from the beach, we realized that the truck has a flat tire. argh! real life - even on vacation. so it goes, right? just a little reminder that tomorrow we'll be heading out of here & back to reality.

btw, top shot...@ dinner tonight, garrett kept mashing banana into his hair. brian wiped it off w/ a warm rag & then shaped it into a faux-hawk. hahahaha! garrett thought it was pretty funny too.

@ the beach today, this was garrett's favorite thing to do! we were sitting in our seats & he snagged the set next to us.

family shot for today...garrett doesn't quite grasp the concept of smiling @ the camera when no one's behind it!

little man is seriously YELLING down @ the people on the balcony below. the funniest part? they just started talking back to him. i think he's talked to, waved @ or blown kisses to everyone staying in RB this week!

hhhmmm...daddy looks pretty cool sitting up there...

...so i have to climb into the chair & be like daddy.

looks like you guys are having a great time!! (where are you anyway? i haven't been able to work it out!) i think its great that garrett loves the sand and water so much, micah hated it the first time we went to the beach! had to sit on a blanket the whole time!
