Jack at the beach

Every year a bunch of friends and I head to Port A for a long weekend. We go the weekend after Father's Day and I've been going for about 5 years. It's funny to see how it's changed and grown over time. This year there were about 50 people who went. Jay and I stayed away from or "normal" place but I think we'll have to get closer to everybody next year.

Jack had a blast. We stopped about half way at Jack in the Box to eat but I think Jack was just ready to be there.

The first day out he was amazed by everything. He was such a good sport and never cried once while we were out there. First he played with the sand.

Then he tried to eat it but it didn't taste very good.

This was the first year that Jack's Godfather didn't go. We missed him but he bought Jack a very special present. He loved it and felt like a big boy sitting in it all weekend. It was his special chair and if you couldn't tell Josh is an LSU fan and slowly trying to convert Jack.

The first night we went to a shrimp broil with some friends and he got to try Cheetos for the first time. Jay and I don't allow any junk food yet so this was a real treat.

He was such a fan that even when he fell out of his chair he saved his Cheeto.

He did get lots of cuddles from Ms. Haley.

Since they kept putting Cheetos in his cup holder he keeps checking all cup holders for more.

He did get some cuddle time in with Aunt Melody (his Godmother)the next day so it was all good.

He was able to grab a couple of quick naps on the beach.

The last day on the beach he got washed off and a new diaper so he slept for a bit longer.

After he woke up he had snacks with dad.

We did make sure he got something healthy in when we got back to the condo. He loves blueberries and strawberries.

The next morning we told him we were going home and he made a break for the beach again.

Not 5 mintues after we got in the car he was fast asleep.

He only slept for about 45 mintues then he "talked" to us the entire way home. He's so easy to travel with and so well behaved, he was the hit of the beach and everybody loved playing with him. He just takes everything in stride and observes.
