This year was interesting juggling two kids at the beach. With Landon being so young, he was pretty much held all day by everyone which was nice.
Even though we went only a couple of months ago, when I think back, it seems like forever ago. We took our usual after church group picture. Travis and I, for the first year, successfully made dinner for our night without any arguments! Beau, on the other hand, tried to pick a fight with anyone in a 5 feet radius. It was pretty stressful for me having him beat up on the other kids so we tried to focus on him having one on one time with me and/or Travis. We went out one morning before everyone made it out to the beach and took him kayaking. He was pretty scared to get on the kayak, but he did it! Once we were out on the ocean, I don't think he moved a muscle, but we saw dolphins and he enjoyed looking for fish. I think he was out of his element and with just having a brother and extra family in town was still learning to cope. I also think he's a little like me where he needs his time alone and can only handle big groups in small doses so sharing a house with so many people he just didn't know how to act. He has since dropped the rude attitude thankfully!
We had a splash contest and a big foot howling contest. There was also a night crab hunt that Beau got to participate in this year. He loved it! Also there were a lot of late nights watching the olympics.
