Beachside (and, a little bit of poolside) Fun!

(I'm still playing catch-up with my blogging, but I'm almost there!)

During our vacation, we spent most of our free time at the beach. And, a little bit of time poolside. We are definitely more beach bums! We stayed at the Emerald Beach Resort, and throughly enjoyed our stay there! I've got family with a condo, so it was a no-brainer for us to bunk up there.

Daddy and Bobby enjoying some beach time. Bobby LOVED the sand, and crawled all over the place! He was a hit w/ the lady sunbathers! :)

Chillaxin' in his beach chair. (Notice Bob's dad in the background on the computer; so typical!)

Bobby napping in his stroller.

After realizing the first day that Bobby would not nap in the condo (our room was too bright); we coordinated our beach time with his nap time.

Bobby hanging out at the pool!

The banana was our snack of choice during the vacation. It was the easiest, and least messiest to take with us, and to give Bobby on the go!

Bobby's First Trip to the Zoo!

Bobby's first birthday fell on Friday, April 30th. My parents were in town, as well as Bob's. Daddy took off work, and more family came in for the special day from Atlanta. We filled our tummies with a big lunch, and headed off to the Birmingham Zoo for a fun-filled afternoon! After our trip, we headed home for a cookout of hamburgers and hot dogs on our new grill (thanks Dad!).

Grandma and Bobby. I uploaded the wrong picture of the two, but was too lazy to change it. Grandma has her eyes closed! Whoops! Also, you can see Bobby's rash pretty well in this picture on his cheek. It is finally starting to disappear!
