Last of the beach scenes

We had a really wonderful time at the beach. It was our family vacation as well as Rowan's first trip to the beach. He seemed interested in the beach, but he also got an ear infection while we were there. We spent Monday night at an Urgent Care, and by Wednesday he was feeling almost back to normal.

So he may have enjoyed the sand and surf a little more had he been feeling alright. He tolerated the sand and seemed to actually enjoy the surf, although I think that was a little scary. I think he will really love it next year.

He had an awesome time playing with his cousins, Bobby and Michael. He really seemed to like Michael a lot. He also had fun with his Aunt Liv and her friend, Madison, who came with us. And the rest of the family, he loved too.

We had a really wonderful time, and we can't wait to go back:)

He always held one foot up when in the sand:)

Ok, enough already -

Fun at the beach

Our tradition...Annie's for lunch on the way down (and on the way up).

Em and Rowan at Seaside -

Act natural, guys!

It was like the "Lake" of Mexico most of the time we were down there. No waves to be seen.

The bull. We've had our picture taken with this bull since we were waist-high. Now it's Rowan's turn. This is at Angelo's in Panama City.

Rowan had so much fun playing with his cousin...

and his Aunt Liv
