California Visit

We had a fabulous trip to Bakersfield the week of July 4th. Owen was really good on the plane ride there and back. I wish our family lived closer so we could see them more often. 

Trying on his life jacket - ready for the pool

Having fun with Grumps. Owen loved pushing the scooters around the yard.

Ronan and Owen had so much fun playing together

O kept trying to drink his water while Ronan was pulling the wagon! 

These two kept switching places pulling and pushing

Our little fish - just keep swimming! 

We all enjoyed beating the heat with the pool

Trip to Hendersonville

We drove up to Hendersonville Saturday morning to visit Erik's grandparents. Owen was so excited to see "Granma Guice" and "Granpa Cawford". He had so much fun running around and climbing trees with Keleigh. We waited a little too late to take the family picture. We thought Owen would take a nap on the way home because he was exhausted but this child does not like to sleep in the car. He was really good the entire way back.

Topsail Island, NC

We had such a great time at the beach last week. Our house was right on the water so we could just walk out onto the sand. Owen was a little hesitant of the ocean at first but by the second day he could not get enough. It was overcast the first few days which was perfect for Owen. The drive there was quite long but Owen did really well with no nap. It was a wonderful vacation!

He loved playing in the sand and building castles with Daddy and Grumps.

Owen had so much fun sliding down the sand.

He loved spending time with his Googa.

We had to drag him away from the pier.

We had some amazing dinners.
