Beach

Shortly after Italy, we went to the beach with my parents for a week.  It was a great week, but Drayton was kind of funny about the ocean.  HE didn't really like the feeling of sand on his hands, and the water sometimes scared him.  I'm thinking next year, he might enjoy it more.  But he always enjoys some good Cookie and Slappy time and he loves being with Caden and Tate!

pretty good cartoon catching spot

we got to go out on a boat to watch some dolphins jump!  It was one of those times where Drayton was not real animated while we were on the boat, but afterwards, talked about jumping dolphins for a while!

a bunch of tired boys

he wanted to wear a bandana like mommy

we requested no full body shots, and they delivered!

to me, this is classic Drayton full on running stance.  He gets that elbow up high and powers his little legs to take short fast steps.

wouldn't you love to know what they are saying to each other!

just a boy with his tractor and some sand

Some of my favorite times are when they want to sing songs together.  This was a particularly funny one.
