Fun in the Sun

Aidan, Nana, and I packed my car to the brim and headed to Ocean Isle for a LONG weekend! Nana and I need a vacation from our vacation...man can Aidan GO! Anthony ("Noo-CH") and Angela ("A-n-g-e-LLLAA") joined us too! Fearless Aidan LOVED the ocean and would have ventured out farther had we let him. He loved digging in the sand, rubbing sand on his legs, licking the salty, ocean water, throwing wet sand, collecting shells on walks, and riding in his wagon (that he fell out of and onto the cement because he stood up-notice the nice scratched face!)

What sweet memories we made as we played and soaked up the beautiful weather. It is so much fun as a parent to see your child experience something new and enjoy every moment of it. It reminds me of all the little, simple things in life that can bring happiness to us. Aidan was a little bit of an almost terrible 2-year old every now and then, but whoever said this parenting thing would be easy right? And...I think he still has an ear infection (in his defense...)

Here are a couple of my FAVORITE pictures from the weekend. Thank you Nana (mom), Uncle Nuch (Anth), and Angela for coming and enjoying this precious time with Aidan...we both LOVE all of you so much!

And just a few more...
