The ocean was calling the Chiefs name

All summer the Chief has been saying he wanted to go to the beach for the day and for some reason we never got there. This past weekend we made plans to go to Disney's Blizzard Beach. But once he saw the pictures of our beach play date, he just had to go. We canceled Disney's Blizzard Beach and spent the day relaxing, playing, and swimming.

While the guys were out in the ocean swimming, I put my hat on and wrapped a towel around me and fell fast asleep. That was the best!!! The wind keeps me cool and the sound of the waves crashing were like a la la bye.

My litter surfer boy!

It's hard to resist playing in the sand.

The water was so warm.

After a full day at the beach we packed up our chairs, towels, etc. and started for the truck.

Mother and Son's sandy feet!

The Cisco Kid's little foot prints in the sand as we were leaving. 

 

The first day of school

My little boy is growing up.  Today was his first day as a 3rd grader.  He really is growing up and maturing.  I didn't realize it over the summer but just looking at this picture and the way he is standing, he looks so mature with so much personality.  Or should I say............. where has my little 3 lb. 15oz. 19 inch baby gone! 

There will not be many more time I will be able to walk with him to his class.  Or should I say he will let me walk with him to his class.  I will take full advantage of it for as long as I could. 

Once again I am leaving him in the hands of someone else.   Still not easy!
