Our beach trip!

Last week Daddy had a conference for work at the beach in Pensacola! Owen and Mommy tagged along and then we stayed through the weekend to enjoy some family time.
We had a fantastic five days away at the beach! We ate great food...including Owen....as he tried some new foods (jarred/prepared baby food, watermelon (from Daddy's lunch plate one day), sweet potato fries, etc.).
And...if Owen had to write a personal ad today, it would include the following statement "Enjoys long walks on the beach". Mommy and Owen walked for almost one hour each morning on the beach. Owen was safely 'packed' in a Kelty KIDS backpack (thanks McDade family!). Here is a picture of Daddy 'wearing' Owen on his back on our way to dinner.


Each day, Owen enjoyed playing in the hotel baby pool. The pool was 1 foot deep at its deepest. So, it was perfect (both warm and shallow enough for Owen to sit and play). He enjoyed splashing and laughing, as well as sitting with Mommy and Daddy.
Here are some pictures.



Late on Friday afternoon, we took Owen down to the beach. No one could swim in the ocean due to the surf being too rough (nothing to do with the oil spill). But, we did let Owen 'check out' the sand and we walked down to the water. To be honest....Owen was not a huge fan of the beach. Someday...we are certain we will not be able to get him to leave the beach...but for now we'll stick to the pool! Here are some quick shots we got at the beach. Please excuse the skewed sunglasses on Owen...he was fussing while a nice man was trying to take our family picture!
