Spring Fling....

My first real sunset

Enjoying the view with my mommy

It was windy on the beach!

Hey...where did Cassidy go?

OOHH...what's that on your ears PaPa?

I learned how to play in sand from Uncle Brian

Aunt Tara helped me find my first shell

I loved hanging out with my cousins

Enough pictures already

What a life...being strolled down the beach

with Aunt Tammy and Grandma

Flying my first kite

I wish I was old enough to go out in this "boat"

I loved trying to play put-put and making my

mommy run all over the place after me ;)

-We had a blast on Spring Break with my family in Sanibel, FL. We drove 21 hours down there in 3 cars with my family. Unfortunately, Josh was not able to go again this year due to his busy work season. We missed him SO much. Brooks was so good on the drive and such a trooper. I will say....thank goodness for the invention of the portable DVD player!!! He really has never been that into movies, but loved watching them in the car. He would laugh and dance along to Ice Age...too funny! Brooks had a week packed with sun, food, shopping, swimming, put-putting, sand castle building, kite flying, stroller rides, walks, and flirting with the older girls :) He has become quite the flirt. He would wave to everyone he passed on the beach and go up to people at dinner to say hi. What a ham!! He learned how to play in the sand...and eat it too! He learned that lesson quick...yuck! He had no problems with the sand, but was cautious of the ocean. He did enjoy the taste of salt water and splashing in ocean. By the end of the week he enjoyed hanging out in the pool water. Probably one of the things he enjoyed the most was being pushed up and down the beach in the stroller. What a life! I think he has his Daddy's skin...he got tan wearing 70 sunscreen! Pretty sad when your son gets tanner than you by wearing complete sunblock. He really enjoyed himself and I loved seeing him with my family. They were ALL such a huge help! I could not have enjoyed myself like I did, if it was not for them. Thanks also to my parents for all they did for us on the trip. We now have such wonderful memories. I just hope Josh can come next year to see Brooks on the beach....priceless!
