Memorial Day Festivities

We had a very busy Memorial Day. It started with a parade near Grammy and Grampy's house, then breakfast out, playing in the park for a little while, a trip to the beach (we couldn't get Sam out of the water), and then a bike ride with his new cocoon!

First, a few parade pics. Do you think it's too early in the morning?



Sam's friend Elise caught up with us to watch and he had fun pointing things out to her.



Here's the two of them watching the old cars go by...



After the parade we went to breakfast and the park. At breakfast he got to drink a chocolate milkshake with whipcream and was in heaven.



Then off to the beach. At first he was scared of the water and wanted to play by us.



...but he soon overcame his fears and was searching for sand crabs




...and then I had to pull him out of the water! (This is one of my favorites of our recent pics)
