beach time!!!!!  

today we ventured out to the beach for the dudes VERY FIRST time!!  he was very intrigued by the noise and smell of the ocean.  he couldn't stop looking at it and when we put him down, he loved it even more.  first wave came and it was a little strong.  no worries.  he took it like a champ.  his legs got a little buried in the sand, which helped him get his footing in the sand.  

of course the second thing he did, after splashing in the waves, was try to eat sand!  :)  i know it's going to happen a million more times while we're here, but i did try to stop it while i could.  

we were very happy with how everything went though.  no freakouts and no crying.  he absolutely loved the beach and we're looking forward to bringing him back tomorrow.  we just did a short trip today to test the waters.

looks like the entire sanner and hertel family kids are fishes!!!
