He was very excited about learning about the beach because that's where we were heading for the 4th of July! This was a momma and Turner trip. With baby girl coming, Daddy had to stay back and save those vacation days. We had a blast with Shugie, the Unks and Aunts! They were kind enough to let Turner and I (and Ellery!) tag along without a Daddy. I cherished it because now with two kids..I don't see that happening anymore. At this time I was 6 months pregnant, so I also needed help because of that! The weather was wonderful at the beginning and Tuner LOVED, LOVED the beach! It rained the second 1/2 of our trip, but Turner was still on cloud nine because he was surrounded by many people he would love nothing more than be in a house while raining for days!
Buried Unk a 'few' times.
He fell asleep like this and slept almost 2 hours..it was so nice to just sit on the beach while he rested.
He loved being held by his arms and dipping his feet when a wave came up! He wanted to do this many, many times
LOVED seeing the ice cream truck! In Seaside you have to eat your popsicle quick or it will vanish!
Night stroll with Uncle West and Aunt Nat
He loved taking all the chairs and piling them up.
Hard at work!
Taking a snack break after being in the hot sun. He loved getting seashells or what not with the Uncles...the entire trip he pretty much would do whatever they Uncles said and wanted to do EVERYTHING they did. It was really cute watching him. He really looks up to his uncles.
Snack break with Unk! My favorite thing was Turner was taking a walk with Uncle Caul and he said, "Ya know, Turner...I really like you!" Turner looked up at him and bluntly said, "I like Unk." He was stuck to Unk's hip the entire time.
Out on the town!
Waiting at the Red Bar being spoiled
Crazy hair with the Aunts! He REALLY needs to get some boy cousins!
He LOVED playing Jenga with the boys..and he was really good at it! Again, he would copy anything the boys did.
Happy 4th of July!!! I brought a bunch of 4th of July festive wear to party that day! It rained all that day, so the fam was very nice on playing with Turner and wearing their 4th tattoo!
Showing off their guns
On the 4th their was a break in the weather so I took Turner on a 3 hour bike ride. It was such a great time with him! We went and watched the crashing waves and Turner was in aw.
There's usually a parade that we attend in the morning. It was so cute- while we were out that afternoon lines and lines of cars were coming into town for the 4th..Tman thought it was the parade and started waving and talking about the cars. People around joined in and waved at him and such. We went to their park and played many times and he loved it!
Eating his firecracker popsicle in honor of the 4th!
That night we played Monopoly. again, Turner loved it. He was very good at keeping up with the money and actually listened and followed instructions a lot of the time. He just loves being with his family (as you know, he has a pretty awesome family!)
So sad. Turner and I miss out a lot on nighttime fun because of being young and having a child. He was so sad to have to go to bed while they play monopoly, but as we know...this makes for LONG days if they don't go to bed. I am just thankful there was a tv with cable and my phone! Entertainment while he slept.
Styling with Aunt Lillipop!
