fun in the sun!

i love this pic. trace woke up at 6:30 the first morning so i took him out to the beach and let nate sleep for another hour! this seagull or whatever it is let trace get so close to it... and trace just talked and pointed and loved it!

so we are back from the beach... and we had a wonderful time! all in all, it was a nice vacation. there were a few problems with the condo but we tried to make the best of things! by looking at the pics you'll see that trace had a great time and i'm so glad we went! i took almost 300 pics, go figure :) but here are a few of my fav... i made some into photo collages but there are still others that i love! trace loved the sand, the ocean, the pool. the attention he got from all the servers when we went out to eat... i think he just liked the newness of it all! btw, we did eat some wonderful crab claws and popcorn shrimp at sea n suds and the shrimp basket. yummmm!!!

trace did not take good naps at the beach... i guess there was too much fun stuff to do other than sleep! so when we got all dolled up and ready for the "family" pics, he just wasn't having it. and we made the mistake of giving him the room key to make him happy, and he would not let go of it! soo.. it's in every pic! :) he's not smiling in many of them, but we will have the memories forever! i love black and white pics. this one of him and nate is one of my favs!!

my sweet sweet sweet sweet spoiled sweet sweet sweet baby! (did ya'll catch that?)

oh, ok, you wanted me to smile??

there aren't many pics of me and trace b/c i was doing all the picture taking! but there are a few!! i don't care that i'm not in many, i just love taking them. nate told me to sit down and relax but i told him i was having fun taking all the pics!

sunday morning when we were getting ready to leave... one more shower to try and get all that sand out his crack :)

cranky crab is right! this boy is spoiled rotten. you see the round brush in his hand? yeah, i tried to take it away from him so i could pack it and he threw a fit. so the t shirt is perfect on this day.

yay for going home~ we did have a great time but once it's time to head home, we were all ready to be back in argo. trace did very good traveling, his dora and hi 5 dvd's kept him happy, so happy he only slept for 10 minutes the whole way home!!

ok, last pic, i promise! :)
