Our First Beach Trip (July 25-Aug 1)

Ellison in his beach attire. Thanks Aunt Dana.

The last night at the beach we stayed at Uncle Jerry and Aunt Carolyn's house.

Ellison enjoyed the "bird noises" that Aunt Carolyn made. He laughed out loud

with his MaMa trying to make funny sounds too.

Uncle Quinn and Aunt Amber came to the beach for a few days. They are both

very good teachers...see they taught Ellison to read a book:).


Ellison and his grandmama getting ready to go eat seafood.

This outfit was too cute. I couldn't resist buying it before he was

even born. He's only worn it once and now it's too little.

Matthew let Ellison test out the ocean. As you can see, he's not

to sure about it yet.

Family photo of our first beach trip. You can

tell we have been inside a lot this summer...check out our tans.

Ellison had his own tent to keep protect him from the sun...Matthew liked it too.

He was trying to be the whitest man on the beach. He won that prize I think.:)

We love this pic! Ellison had a different hat

to wear each time we went to the beach.

Ellison and his pops. This swing was a life saver for us.

Our sweet boy loved swinging on it in the evenings.
