A little beach, a lot of work...

We spent our first week of August at the Beach with all the Lucks...a yearly ritual that we look forward to as soon as those swimsuits come out in May! This year was a whole new ball game, as our last visit to the beach didn't include a walking, curious, busy, busy, busy little man. Plus, my big Robert was working through his first real trial as a lawyer. Rob and I are so proud of him for finishing today, but it meant that Daddy spent half the week holed up in our room going through depositions or whatever it is that lawyers do to prepare...I still don't understand but pretend to as best I can:)

Although this won't surprise anyone, my son had no fear of the water, both a good and a bad thing in our eyes. We wanted him to love the water, but not so much that he charged in unattended whenever the mood struck him. The result, a few ground rules were set and daddy and Robert's uncles carved out an in-ground pool in the sand for the little tikes to play in. Robert had a blast playing with his cousin Adelyn, and I loved watching the two of them finally interact!

Enjoy a few photos...we won't bore you with the hundreds that were taken, I left the photos small for space, but feel free to click on them to see his sweet face much larger:)

And, because a truck is never from my son's hands....
Robert's love of wagons runs deep, both big and small...he's even happy to tote Adelyn around:)
