A Day at the Beach

There's nothing to beat the heat like a day at the beach! Unfortunately, for whatever reason, the heat wasn't so bad this particular day and our little fish ended up with some purple lips and teeth that chattered! However, the weather was perfect for catching rays without catching a heat stroke! We headed out to Station 29 on Sullivan’s Island as a family for some fun in the sun. This station has an ideal tidal pool that is perfect for Stryker at low tide. He was thoroughly enjoying himself!

Daddy bought a Bocci Ball set the day before and Stryker LOVED playing it with his Daddy on the beach. He may have found himself a new sport b/c he loves to play at the house too! This little guy is sure to be our star athlete growing up!

Cassie & Robert soon joined us on the beach and brought their paddle boards out too! Needless to say, Stryker was intrigued! He wanted to “surf” right away. He thought he could paddle it himself and was too cute trying.

Luckily, Robert didn’t mind taking him for a ride at all! He enjoyed being the captain and Robert doing all the hard work (especially when they had to turn around and paddle AGAINST the current and wind!).

Soon the afternoon was wearing on and the energy wearing out of our little man. We packed up all of our stuff and headed to the car. I won Mom of the Year that day b/c I totally forgot to bring clean clothes for Stryker to change into. I undressed my little Love, got him all dry (as well as tried to get the majority of the sand off him!) and slipped MY bathing suit cover up over his naked little body. Quite a fashion statement to say the least! But it didn’t take long (approx 2 blocks actually) and he was out from all the beach fun!
