I think the best way to do these beach trip posts will be through pictures!
We started our vacation off with an early morning breakfast at IHOP. Dad loves their pancakes. Christopher loves their yogurt and fruit! You can tell by the above pictures how excited Christopher and Matt were to go! We woke up early... played... finished up packing and hit the road for early check-in!
After unpacking and going grocery shopping, we took Christopher down to the beach. Anything that is new (which obviously is a lot right now) gets a WHOA from Christopher.... so you can only imagine how many we heard from him as he was standing in the waves. He is definitely a beach baby. Whenever we tried to steer him away from the water, he would turn around and walk right back in. I asked my friend Becca for beach advice and she said HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE! So that is what we did! He is a slippery little sucker though!
This is our beach house this year! Most definitely worth every penny! It was quite hard to find a house not extremely huge since there are only 5 of us, super close to the beach, dog friendly, with a pool, and a central location. Matt did a great job finding it though- and the owners were there to greet us. (Maybe they were checking us out....)
We took Christopher for his first beach day Monday. He stayed for about an hour. I think he could have stayed longer, but I didn't want to over do it on the first day out there for him. It was a gorgeous day- that's Anthony, me, Matt and Christopher.
But of course.... when Christopher wasn't splashing in the waves- he was pushing the utility cart Matt rented. Back and forth- up and down. Mom went last night and got him a little beach wagon to pull around, so hopefully that will work for today!
He wanted to ride too.
Christopher has been loving having his Uncle Anthony around. He kisses him any chance he gets!
Snuggle time with daddy Monday morning.
Mom and I made more Greek yogurt bars for Christopher. This time we did vanilla yogurt, granola, bananas and chocolate chips. YUMMMMMM!
Christopher got to meet some of his cousins Monday evening! He had so much fun and was quite the ham! Not sure what he is going to do when we return home and it's just me and him all day!
Francesca and Christopher! The kids were so sweet with him.
I am so glad we brought the tunnel. It has provided so much entertainment!!
Here is a short video of Christopher the first night at the beach.
And that's it for now! I have tons more pictures, but here are just a few randoms...
We went to see Daddy's friend and his daughter before we left for the beach.
She had girly toys, which Christopher seemed to love.
This is when Matt first made it to Va Beach. Christopher had just gotten up from his nap and was super excited to see him!
