We packed up the car & headed to Sunset Beach for Memorial Day weekend with all of Matt's family. Oma & Opa as well as Uncle Sandy & Aunt Lynn all live at the beach so we always have a nice place to stay (and take over with baby gear when we are there) :)

This was Brayden's first official beach trip. We went back in March, but it was way too cold to actually go out on the beach. I am happy to say that he LOVED it, since we are going back at least 3 more times this summer! On Saturday & Sunday afternoons, we spent about 2-3 hours out on the beach. The weather was perfect & the water was just starting to warm up. Both afternoons the tide was also way out so there were lots of little tide pools, perfect for Brayden to play in.
Dressed & ready for the Beach
Playing with Daddy's hat
First time ever in the Atlantic. He really didn't mind the tiny waves, but when the wave came & hit his knees...well that was another story altogether!

Playing under the tent after getting really wet in the tide pool (I forgot a change of clothes so we had to let his clothes air dry in the sun)

We also celebrated Uncle John's 30th Birthday with dinner & a guitar cake, specially made by Benny (cake carver), Teresa & Dana (bakers & decorators)! I was rather impressed with their cake carving & decorating skills!

Brayden also started waving to people this weekend. He hasn't really repeated the wave since last weekend, but he waved bye-bye to Uncle John & Uncle Sandy sevearl times last weekend. Brayden was great the whole time, including all of the time in the car. We are so blessed to have such a happy, easy going baby!

Love all the beach pics. Brayden has really grown up! What a sweet, happy boy. And you look awesome! How did you just have a baby 7 months ago? Love you, Shannon
