During August we took our first trip to the beach with a baby in tow! Such little beasts require so much stuff!
On the way down we stopped to visit Arlo's coastal grandparents and
aunt/uncle/cousins. Of course he felt that was a fiiiiine time to fill his diaper to capacity. Good thing we had back up clothes packed. We were tempted to leave the diaper in the parking lot, but fearing the ecological damage that could have been done by that load, we gathered the courage to pick it up and walk it to a trash can. And by walk it I mean Arlo's grandpa held it out his car window by two fingers. 😄
When we arrived Nonni and Papa were waiting up for us with crab sun glasses. We knew it was going to be a great trip.
There were red flags the whole time we were there so we only went to the water once. Arlo dipped his toes in the ocean and howled. He sank his toes in the sand and just looked puzzled. Pretty standard for a baby's first beach attempt!
He was such a trooper the majority of the trip. We took him all over (in long sleeves poor baby!) and for the most part he did well!
Some of the most fun times at the beach were had on these silly bikes. It has been years and years since I rode a bike. After this oicture was taken I damn near owed my pants laughing at just how terrible I was at picking it back up again.
All in all the beach was wonderful. We are so thankful to have been able to spend time with Nonni and Papa and my sister Katie, her husband Dan and their baby girl Caroline.
Thank you thank you Nonni and Papa for the invite and the hospitality!!
