Owen went to the beach for the first time this year! It was quite the adventure. I am the type of person who likes to leave early for the beach so you don't hit traffic and so you find a sweet parking spot and a good spot on the sand. I always forget, however, how FREEZING it is in the mornings at the beach! Our trip included Sean, Owen, Brianne (Sean's sister), Johno (my brother) and me. When we arrived, we did not hit any traffic and we found a great parking spot. It was somewhat sunny but so windy and so cold! We got our blankets laid out and the snacks out and all that good stuff...Owen did not want to come out from under his towel. So I joined him! Owen and I huddled under the towels to keep warm and Brianne tried to work on her tan. Sean and Johno got started on sandcastles right away! After the sandcastles, they decided to bury someone...Sean volunteered. It was pretty funny. By this time the sun had come out so Brianne, John and Sean threw the football around for a little bit. Owen still did not want to come out of the blankets. haha...he was enjoying eating and sitting with his mommy. I decided that I needed to work on my tan, which meant that Owen needed to move. So he finally got out of the blankets. It took us forever to get him off the blanket, but when he finally decided to give the sand a try, he could barely keep his balance! It was so cute and funny! He was so frustrated, but I knew once he got the hang of it that he would love playing in the sand. And I was right. Owen was having a blast playing with the bucket and shovel. He even started putting sand on Brianne! lol. But his attitude changed when we tried to take him to the water. What a disaster! He was so terrified. He didn't mind looking at the water, but he didn't want to get close or touch it at all. We were trying to get him calm down, so we started to throw rocks at it and he liked that...until the wave started coming towards him! LOL! Once we gave up on trying to get him to like the water, he just sat by the blankets playing in the sand. In the meantime, Sean and John were attempting to get in the water but it was FREEZING! They both only made it waist high. Then Brianne decided to show them up and she dived in the water!!!! Crazy girl! But the boys shortly followed. Owen and I were the smart ones and stayed dry. :) After we relaxed and got all dried off, it was time to go home. Overall, I think that Owen's first beach trip went pretty well. Our ride home was not so fun, there was an accident so we were stuck in traffic for a while. It was still so much fun. I hope we go back soon! (check out our slideshow!)

LOL - how fun! Jaxon was just the opposite with the water - he was a little scared at first - but then once he got in he was always running toward the water and it was so scary!!! Your family is so freaking cute and I might like you not have facebook because I think you will update your blog more! :)
