Day 3---finally some sunshine!

Even though I may complain---I truly love having an early morning boy...we go walk on the beach at sunrise, play in the sand and water, and just enjoy the quieter time on the beach. I have always felt very peaceful when I am walking beside the ocean; I don't put a lot of stock into the zodiac stuff, but maybe it is my aquarius roots showing through (which would explain why Warren likes it so much as we are both Aquari). Dad and I used to spend some early mornings at the beach together, and being here reminds me of him a lot. But, I am finally getting to the point that I don't hurt when I miss him, it just makes me feel comforted to be doing something with Warren that we used to do together.
















Again, I am playing with the Picasa editing tool---and I just love what it did to this picture of Warren playing in the sand. My only complaint is that sometimes when I order prints of these edited pictures, they don't come out quite right.

































Warren has really taken to this swimming thing---he will even stop mid-swim to clap for himself (and only half of the time does he dip under water).














































Normal kids come to the beach and you can't keep them out of the pool and/or ocean---for my son, his favorite part is the water spicket that you rinse off in. I am just glad he is enjoying himself.

Day Two at the beach

Even though it has been kind of dreary thus far while we have been at the beach, we are making the most of it, and it has actually made for pretty good playing on the beach weather~

Aunt Brittany really wanted to be able to bury Warren in the sand---he tolerated it fairly well overall.

Swimming with Grandma is pretty fun as well.

I am not really sure what is going on here, but neither one of them has there eyes open, and I am concerned.

Day One at the Beach

Playing with the new glasses we found on the beach. I feel kind of bad because I am sure some kid (and probably mom) somewhere is upset that they lost these, but I have been wanting Warren to have a pair. Seeing as it was 6am, there was no one around---I did ask the sea turtle volunteers that were cleaning the beach, and they said if I left them, they would just get thrown away.



































I feel pretty good about my parenting that I did teach him a civic lesson, and I made him pick up the firework trash that was left laying on the ground--he was so proud.





































































These pictures started out a little bright because I left my ISO set too high, but I loved them, so I darkened them as much as I could and left them.










He has always loved water, but the last time we tried this swim floaty, it bobbed up and hit him in the chin and he didn't like it....this time it was love once he got in the water. He kept pushing away from me and trying to swim (kicking his legs and "swimming" with his arms). I was one proud mom!





















































This is one of our friends that is always down here---Warren just swam on over to him.

Playing with Picassa

So, in my attempt to get back into blogging, I have been playing with my beach pictures to have some to post---this is a picture of Warren after he found perfect fitting kid's glasses on the beach our first morning here (yes, we were one the beach at 545am!). Anyway, I was playing in Picassa, and found this neat way to tint the pictures. I am sure the next batch of my pictures will be heavily tinted!
