Summer Vacation! (a bit late)

I am on a mission to get caught up on my blog posts, so bear with me as I post a million updates!!!


Back in August we went on our first family vacation. We had such a wonderful time at Sea Isle City. There is just something about the shore that makes me so happy. It was such a relaxing, wonderful week - it went by too fast and I'm already counting down the days until next summer's week at the shore.

And we are off on our first family vacation! Cian is hidden back them somewhere... wow, we have to bring A LOT of stuff with a little baby
Our beautiful beach house for the week
And the view of the ocean right out our door
the grill that had never been cleaned, so it caught on fire!


Cian's first bathing suit. He was very excited with it! 


But not so excited about the ocean


watching the waves with Daddy

horseshoes and paddle ball on  the beach

Buddies taking naps on the beach together

Pop pop taking both Jackson and Cian on their morning walk

Joe got lots of attention for this, including marriage proposals and free drinks

Such a nice life- Cian enjoying his first taste of canteloupe with the ocean in the background

Loved our morning walks when the beach was so quiet

Some fun shopping during our walks

Jackson and Noel having fun on the deck

Enjoying our great view from the deck! Drinking Coronos, eating yummy happy hour snacks and watching the ocean.  Here's Grammie with Bailey and Cassidy
Kristin (enjoying her last week of maternity leave before going back to work), Jackson and Noel

Cian showing how big he is getting by sitting in a high chair at dinner


Cian's three really long strands of hair. His first comb over!


Cian and Brian both in bibs!

Jackson and his grandmother, Henny, enjoying the sunset

Uncle Kevin torturing poor Cian. This is Cian's favorite pose too - he's ready to take flight!

I would like to say this is JB watching the boats... but he could be watching our umbrella and chairs and making sure no one comes near our beach space!!!
trying to get the boys to smile at the same time.... impossible!



My two men!

a little blurry, Brian needs more practice with the camera

Nothing beats soft serve with sprinkles at the shore : )

The perfect souvenir for when you are home and blue- shore fudge!

Some more of my favorite shore moments that I didn't get pictures of:

Feet in the cool sand
Playing in the waves
Evening walks on the promanade
Flying a kite 
Happy Hour on the deck
Reading a book in your beach chair as the sun sets
Seafood from Mike's
Late night mini golf (which becomes a whole different game when playing with an pro golfer! Poor Noel didn't get any congrats after his THIRD hole in one)
Sand everywhere, even in your bed!
