Jersey Shore 2012: The Beach

After we left New York, we headed to the shore house for a little beach vacation with Grammy and Grampy. The most highly anticipated part of this trip was the beach!

Chase wasn't sure what to make of the ocean at first since he's used to swimming in the pool (sans waves), but he quickly warmed up to the salt water and the waves. Daddy took him swimming a bit farther out than Mommy was comfortable with and they both jumped over the waves. Daddy got more than a few waves to the face, but Chase was thrilled to be held far up over them.

Brice wasn't that into the beach or the ocean. We only brought him to the beach twice.

A few days later, just Mommy, Daddy, and Chase went back to the beach. It was windy and there was a yellow flag so while we couldn't swim, we did have fun digging in the sand and flying a kite.

These pictures fail to capture all of our time at the beach because we spent most of the time playing with a very active and very mobile Chase in the surf and the sand!
