Beach Trip!

Caden and I spent a wonderful week in Perdido Key, Fl with my family. It was Caden's first trip to the beach and he did pretty well. He wasn't too sure about the sand and the ocean, but he still had a great time. He was happy playing in the sand with his cousins as long as he had his rake! The ocean was filled with jelly fish the whole time we were there so we didn't get to swim much, but we spent plenty of time swimming in the pool. All of the kids preferred the pool to the beach. Caden's cousins are little fish that could swim all day. Caden preferred to climb up and down the pool stairs and to crawl around on the pool deck like a bear. He had a lot of fun playing around the pool and watching his cousins swim. He did swim some and even went surfing in the pool with his Grandpa! It was so nice to spend a week with my parents, sisters, niece and nephew. We treasure the time we get to spend with them. Caden really enjoyed playing with his cousins and I know he is missing them already.

Family time at the lake!

Jake, Caden, and I spent the week of the 4th of July at the lake with the Fox family. We had so much fun visiting with our family and friends. Caden was a little unsure about swimming in the lake. He wasn't afraid of the water, but he really didn't like wearing a life jacket. He did enjoy digging in the sand with his rake and going on boat rides. Dan and Kim bought a new pontoon boat and Caden loved crawling all over it and helping his Grandpa drive. Jake and I really enjoyed a week at the lake relaxing, visiting with family, shopping and eating American food! We don't get home often enough and we really miss spending time with family. Caden loved his Oma, Grandpa, Aunt April and Uncle Eric. He had a great time playing with them and being the center of attention all week! He spent the whole week laughing, smiling, and climbing up the stairs. We took him to the park a couple of times and he loved the playground with the big slides to climb up! Hopefully it wont be too long before we can make it back for another visit. Thank you to Dan and Kim for making it such a wonderful week! We miss you and love you lots!!
