Florida Beach Boy

We went to Crescent Beach, FL this past weekend for the annual Roberts Family Labor Day Reunion. We stayed in a really cute house on the beach with Poppy & Car Car Eschen, Mandy & Chris, and Will, Megan & Maggie Mae (their puppy). It was Harrison's 2nd reunion, but he was definitely too little to do anything fun last year! This year he played every day on the beach and in the pool, and met and played with his cousins. He was definitely a big hit with the family, they loved his big cheeks and his funny personality, he put on a "show" every day for the entire group!

Also - HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF (tomorrow)!!!

Helping Car Car make a grocery list.



Harrison was fascinated with Maggie's crate, and climbed in there a few times a day to check it out!



Harrison got to meet his cousin, Cameron, for the first time. Cam is 11 months old and he will be moving from Chicago to Atlanta with his mom and dad (Caroline and Ken) this month! We are thrilled to have some more family in town soon.



Harrison had a great time following around his cousins Kaley and Jordan. Here he is with Kaley this year.........



.......look how much they've both changed from last year!



This was the first time Harrison played in the sand on a beach. He liked tasting the sand and throwing it.



Such a big boy!



After one particulary bad thunderstorm, we went out to the beach in the early evening to take a walk, and Harrison ended up playing in the sand and surf for a long time. Here he is playing in a puddle with his "shovel" (a.k.a. serving spoon).




Directing Kaley and Jordan on what to do next.



He loved standing in the surf and feeling the waves go back and forth. He would walk/run into the water and out of the water constantly.



The morning before we left we let him go down to the beach again in his PJs. He spent some good quality time with Poppy and Car Car playing in the surf again!
