The Beach

We finally made it to my parent's house in Rhode Island.  Three of my four brothers were there too (so four of the six siblings) so that was exciting to see everyone.  Here is John playing the piano with our little niece, Kate.  They are a month apart.

 Picking blueberries at grandma's house
That's Scott in the blue shirt and my brother Matt in the orange (next to orange shirt Matthew)

 We all went to the beach before the brothers had to head back home.
Grant and cousin Kate at the beach

 Anna loved playing in the sand

 My brother John and my mom hanging on the beach with us

 John pooped out pretty quick

Grant has a big problem with sand and it took him a while to get used to walking around on the sand.  He wanted to be held.  All the time!  I had to take him to play in the water for a while before he was cool with the sand.  Then he forgot about not liking it.  Good times.  For such a messy and wild little fellow I think its so funny he hates sand on his feet.

 Playing in the water
Matthew didn't like the seaweed on his feet but he muddled through to be able to play in the water.  Anna had no problem with any of it - sand or seaweed.  She just jumped right in.

 She also tried finding critters in the sand

 Grant after he had warmed up to the beach a little.  He didn't want to leave.

 Anna even tried to bury his feet in the sand and he forgot to be freaked out about it.  Hooray!!

 We had a great time at the beach.
