We spent 5 days down at Brunswick Heads with Matt's brothers and parents, enjoying the sun, sand and surf. Julia pretty much spent the entire time in the water either at the beach or in the river (both just a stone's throw from the house), and Liam thoroughly enjoyed crawling on the sand and water. He's such a water baby, I think he would've just kept crawling into the ocean if we hadn't redirected him each time. The children and I took a lot of long early morning walks along the river, and we even had an outing to the local fair (I'll put those pictures in another post). We had lots of visitors too!
Sandcastles with Daddy
Painting hats with Pop
Cool baby cool
Auntie Julie (she and Uncle Bink came down for a visit) and Uncle Shane
The whole Ryan clan also came down for the day
Nick Ryan and Julia(Julia had never met Nick before, but when he introduced himself as Simon's brother she said, "He's my favorite"and from then on they were friends)
Allison and her husband stopped by with their three boys. Julia was not to be outdone by all the males and eagerly joined them on Uncle Shane's and Pop's motorcycles
Gotta have the gloves for the full effect
Hors d'vours on the deck (Liam's trying to help himself to the mango salsa)
Gran, Pop, and Liam (he was actually asleeep)
Just like our Christmas cards, the family photo never seemed to happen (this was while Liam was asleep)
Liam, Julia, and I got to add our footprints to the beach house wall.
