Beach Bum!

Last Monday I took the day off of work and took Henry to the beach. Kevin was home doing some "remodeling" work (those pictures will come soon!), so it was just Henry and I at the beach! Overall the day went well, but he was very busy between the sand and the water. We went to Old Lyme so there were minimal waves and tons of rocks! Henry did not mind the rocks and was fearless of the water. I wish I could have gotten some pictures of him swimming, but with only 2 hands and an active 16 month old, that was not possible. We collected a lot of rocks and attempted to build some sand castles. We both enjoyed this adventure and I have learned that my days of relaxing on the beach are gone, at least for the next few years! Henry loved watching all of the boats in the water.
Having his "nack" on the beach, although I think he ate more sand than food!

He loved the sand!






He sat nicely playing in the sand until he discovered the water, then that was where we spent the rest of the day.

Trolley Museum

Last weekend Kevin and I took Henry to the Trolley Museum near our house. It was a fun little outing that we were able to experience before afternoon nap! I'm not sure who had more fun "exploring" the old trains in the museum, Henry or Kevin. We all enjoyed the Trolley ride, although Henry had clearly lost interest by the way home and I think his yelling kept our conductor's talking to a minimum.

We managed to get a family shot on the trolley ride.






Not sure what they were looking at, but apparently it was exciting.
