Seagrove Beach 2009

We just got back from the beach last night and had a great time. The place where we stayed was perfect for us and only a few houses down from where we got married. Wright absolutely loved everything about the beach. He especially had a great time throwing sand and playing in the waves with Daddy. He really liked when the water slapped him in the face - thought that was hysterical. We were so lucky that we were able to be there the same time as Melanie, Patrick, Max and Luke. Wright LOVES playing with his cousins so that made everything even more fun. Emma (Max and Luke's cousin) was there too and she was great with Wright. It was wonderful for us to have a lot of extra babysitters.

On a down side, right before we left, Wright was diagnosed with hand foot and mouth. He had a very mild case of it, so we were not too worried. But the day we got there, Brendan started showing symptoms. By the last day, his mouth was completely filled with painful sores. I felt terrible for him, but he was such a trooper still and did everything with the best attitude possible, considering he felt so bad.

Overall it was a great trip and we definitely want to make it an annual family trip.

At first Wright did not know how far back to stay from the waves.

Running and jumping in the tide.

Wright and me in the water.

Building sandcastles.

The cousins built towers for Wright to crush under his feet. This was great fun!

Looking for shells.

Here is the house that we got married in front of, hopefully the dark cloud looming over it is not a sign ;)

Running on the beach.

Max and his dad made an awesome sand village.

This was the best pic I could get of all the playing Wright and Brendan did in the ocean.

About to take a beach walk.

Do we have to leave????

OTHER PICS
While we were there, we celebrated my 30th birthday. We (Brendan, Melanie, Patrick and I) started with drinks outside and on the beach at Bud and Alleys and then went to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants Cafe 30-A. It was a great time. Luke also had has 6th birthday two days after mine.

Wright loved the rocker at the Lipscomb's house.
