Around the beach house...

One of the key things about the time at the beach was all the baby-holding! Grandma was in her glory! We never lacked for a pair of arms to hold the little ones. They barely touched the ground. Aunt Mary got some Grayson time in, too.
Grayson gets a little 'floor time' before heading out to the beach. I love his little red and white outfit. Perfect for catching some rays in the sand.

Grayson lookin' mighty sweet and beachy. Ooo! I need to find him and kiss him! ....


.....OK, I'm back...

I don't think Ivy's hair got brushed much. She surely had a good time, though! And never fear, she's tangle-free again now.
It was Mother's Day the day we arrived at the Beach house. Our family stayed the night before with Steve's sister Jenny and her husband, Will. Jenny and Will have a little baby girl, Audrey, who is one month older than Gray. It was fun to meet Audrey and to see the two babies together. Those two were together quite a bit that week! Below they are hanging out with Aunt Lulu, the nickname for Steve's sister Laurie. There are two Lauries in the family. Two Jenns too, for that matter.
Laurie made this outfit for Grayson in honor of his womb-name. Doesn't little Chicken Bob look cute in his chicken-print clothes? Even the buttons are little chickens!

Jenny led the get-in-shape club that I abstained from joining. Max was her Jiminy Cricket and made sure she got out her videos each day. They had quite a few members! I did don my front-carrier and take evening walks on the beach with the bunch. Gray really enjoyed those walks, or, as he called them, naps.Let's go to the Beach, Mom!

Annette loved the snacks...and the beach. We all did!

Jealous! I would love to go to the beach. I think we need a Falk family reunion at the beach. Looks like everyone had a great time.

Dido Lynn's comment. Forget steep rocky hills bring on the sand.
