Happy 2012 - from the Beach!

In between laundry and taking out mounds of trash from Christmas and trying to organize new toys, we went down to Galveston on a wild hare on New Year's Day.  Sawyer hadn't been to the beach before and it was a slightly warmer day, so off we went around 4 in the afternoon.

The beach is Sawyer's happy place.  He loved the sand, he loved the water, he loved the shells.  You'll notice in our pictures he quickly goes from fully clothed to shoe- and sock-less, then pant-less, then pant-less but with a hat.  He loved running in the water toward the waves, digging his hands and feet in the sand and throwing handfuls of sand/mud in the water (which we tried to discourage).  We walked along a pier and he cried the whole time for the water.  I guess we need to a plan a beach vacation for the summer!

Happy New Year!
