Beach Weekend

While Ryan was in Sweden for a conference, Hunter and I took a mini-vacation to Ocean City to visit Mom-Mom. As you can see from the pictures below we had a blast, filled with lots of quality time together!
Funniest moment of our visit: Mom-mom has a permit to take her truck onto the beach at Assateague Island, so that is where we went 3 out of our 4 day visit. It is nice because it is less crowded than the beach in OC and you don't have to lug all of your beach and baby stuff blocks to get there. You can just drive up and unload behind your truck. However, it can be a rough ride once you are cruising on the sand! So the first day out Hunter's eyes were as big as saucers as his head started bumping from side to side, and back and forth, against his car seat with his first 4-wheeling experience. The next morning as I put Hunter into his car seat to head back out to the beach, I was talking to him and said "Guess where we are going?" and he started throwing his head back and forth against his car seat like he was 4-wheeling again. That cracked us up! For the rest of the weekend, whenever we said "Do you want to go for a ride with Mom-mom?" he would start bumping around, so we figure he is going to associate horrible driving with her!
Sweetest moment of our visit: Our last day at the beach, Mom-mom was taking Hunter down to the water and he found a seashell. He kept turning around to look for me to see if I had noticed. Later when they walked back up to where I was sitting he still had the seashell in his hand and was holding it up in the air to show me with a huge smile on his face. He was so very proud of his very first beach treasure! The moment was so sweet. Now I have a pretty ugly seashell that I will keep and cherish forever!
