Beach Vacation: Days Five and Six

  
    
  
  
I didn't mention that Kevin's parents and aunt met us at the beach on Friday and left on Monday morning. They had a great time seeing Levi on his first beach trip.

Day Five: We went to the beach this morning and had a great time. Although, as you can see in one of the pictures, Levi has perfected the "hold me" pose. Once he pulls himself to the standing position, he leans his head between your legs and lifts his arms. Mama K and Audry got to the beach today to also partake in Levi's first beach trip. Once they got here we went back to the beach in the afternoon. We also went to the calmer side of the island after dinner. Levi had such a great time playing in the shallowest part of the water and playing in the sand. One of the pictures and the video show Levi in front of the drip sand castle his daddy made.


Day Six: This morning, we played at the beach. Audry and I took Levi into the water. He loved it. I have to find a pool when we get home. He LOVES the water. Almost the whole time we were in the water, his little legs were just a kicking. Maybe he'll follow in my footsteps and be a little swimmer! We went to the "shell island" after Levi's afternoon nap, and Levi was a trooper riding in the new kid carrier that Kevin got for Father's Day. Kevin found several nice sized shells for Levi and my mom. After dinner, we went back to the calmer side of the island, but tonight it wasn't all that calm. Kevin and Levi still had a good time playing in the water for a little bit and then putting shells on top of Levi's head. An older gentleman also entertained Levi by throwing crackers in the air for the sea gulls to eat. I don't think I've mentioned how much Levi LOVES the birds around the island: brown pelicans and sea gulls are his favorites.
