Wordless Wednesday - Too Cool Cousins

Sorry for the lack of posts but between returning from vacation, an earthquake, a hurricane, attending my 20th high school reunion, a husband prepping to host a conference and all the regular stuff, we are struggling just to keep up.  Hoping to find the light at the end of the tunnel.

Wordless Wednesday - Got Duck Donuts?

 Duck Donuts, yum!

 Do you really think these are going to make it home to my cousins?  If so, you have another thing coming.

How to keep a three year old out of trouble at the beach.

... until a wave came and we had to rescue him.

Happy Birthday Papa

Wish you were here!

Another busy beach day

Cooper started the day with a little reading, and then we were off.

 

And then he slept twelve hours that night because he didn't stop long enough for a nap.

Full day at the Beach

My older sis and her family invited us to join them at the Outer Banks for a week. So, after a quick stop at Grammy and Poppa's, we headed to Duck. Cooper hasn't been to the beach in almost two years.

 Lots of running through the water.

 "How does this thing work?"

 Worn completely out.

 We tried to catch the sunset, but it was too cloudy.  So instead I shot the walking bridge.

 Scaling to the top in the blink of an eye.

 A daredevil in the making.

 

 Spinning Will round and round.

 No Mom, I didn't color a mustache on with a marker.

Wow, no wonder he crashed that night.  Great day with the family.

No, he really is just 3.

Cooper is very excited about heading to the beach with his cousins.  So much so that he has already packed his bag (with action figures and movies), and made me put it in the back of the car. 

Now, does he look like he is ready to head off to first grade?  I need to go ahead and set up a shoe fund because it looks like I might need a second job just to keep him clothed.

First Trip to the Beach

At first, he wasn't quite sure of the sand.

But a quick dip in the ocean solved all that.

A few tumbles later, and he is still smiling.

A little on the contemplative side.
How awesome is this pose?

Cooper played in the sand, frolicked in the waves, chased the seagulls, hunted for seashells, and just had an awesome day at Kitty Hawk. After a relaxing lunch at the Black Pelican, he was dozing as we pulled out of the parking lot.
