Grey's opinion of the beach was, well, somewhat lacking in enthusiasm. He was not a fan of sand on his hands (or feet or eyes, for that matter), nor saltwater in his face. The waves were fun for a little while, until he received one to many splashes in the face. All-in-all, I think the beach will have to grow on him . . . a perfect picture of his "beach" face . . . ('please, I don't want any sand on my hands!')

I definitely had a hard time leaving! I really love the beach . . . and it was so nice to spend such a relaxing week with our loved ones. Mom and grandma (GG), along with Sally and Shelton, stayed with us Saturday (8/14/10) to Wednesday. Then Stephanie (our nanny) and Jim joined us for the rest of the week. The boys had an absolute ball! We hope to make this a yearly beach trip . . . that is, of course, until we finally buy our own beach house! :)
