Waves!

We went to Port Aransas for a few days last weekend.  It was a great time to go.  The beach was seaweed-free and not very crowded because school started the previous week. This trip was definitely more fun for all of us than last year when Luke was not quite walking yet.

Luke got to practice some new words like boat, waves, beach and lighthouse.  As soon as we got there we had to check out the cool bench seat at the condo.

It got very dark when we went down to the beach the first afternoon.  We even heard some thunder.  Good thing we put all that sunscreen on.

Because he loves hoses so much Luke was on sand clean up duty each time we got back from the beach.

He had a great time with all the beach toys they had at the condo and he loved slinging sand and water at us.  

After the second day he wasn't as scared of the waves as much and he started shrieking "waves! waves!" as he chased them going in and out.  He also cleaned up some tar.

Each time we went to the beach Luke seemed a little more comfortable in the water, but by the end of the trip he still wouldn't let us take him in with him.  Next year we will stay longer.
