    Jonah and the Ocean!

    Well, we are back from our week at the New Jersey shore, and it was a great time! Jonah was pretty good on the flight there and back, settled in at the cottage within minutes(with a fair amount of potty training to boot!), enjoyed sleeping in the big bed with me (though MY enjoyment was diminished with each and every tiny foot in the side), and had only a momentary 'fear' of the biggest sandbox he had ever seen. From the moment he overcame his fear, he was kind of scary to watch. It took both my sister and I adopting a hawk like sight on him, lest he run right into the ocean.

    We did a lot of walking, sitting at the beach (properly lubed up with sunblock), and eating. I can't wait to take him there again next year! I learned that I need to buy a decent **real** camera. Mine was too slow to catch alot of perfect moments.

    Enjoy the pics.


    On the flight to the beach.


    His first foray into the Atlantic! We had just arrived, and weren't planning on going into the water yet. Well, **I** wasn't planning on it anyhow.

    What is wrong with this picture? LOL. He **loved** pulling the wagon, even with my sister in it!


    In his new swim trunks, ready for a day at the beach. We rented the jogger and wagon, thank goodness! We couldn't get all necessary items to the beach without that wagon.


    I don't know why he is grimacing....the whole day was about Jonah!


    We went back and forth about renting one of these surreys. What if Jonah wouldn't sit still? What if Jonah got scared? What if Jonah hated his helmet? The question we SHOULD have asked was...what if Johanna and Judy couldn't peddle more than ten minutes without crying? LOL. It was fun, but, it was hard work (and, I think my sister cheated and let me do most of the work ).


    Jonah enjoying his sand toys sans sand!


    Strolling on the beach.

    Thats all! Thanks for looking.

    Looks like a great time. I am so glad to hear that Jonah liked the beach. Is he two yet?

    I loved the picture of you and him in the ocean. Also the last picture of the little guy strolling on the beach. Those definitely should be framed or in a scrapbook (along with all the others ) Actually these pictures were so sweet, even though I saw them before, I had to come back and look at them again.

    Those are great pictures! He's gotten so big, if feels like it was just last week when he was a tiny little baby!

    I just can't get over what a big boy Jonah is getting to be! Gosh, they really grow too fast.

    Looks like you all had a wonderful time and going to the ocean every year is a wonderful tradition to start. Then you can compare photos each year as he grows even more.
