Baby Parker: Parker's First Beach Trip

This weekend was Parker's first trip to the beach. We went to Myrtle Beach with Chad's mom & dad, Kari & Art, Shannon & Wade and their girls, Megan & Molly. After a slightly rough start to the vacation (we got rear ended about 9 miles from our resort...car's in the shop getting a new bumper and a few other things, which means I'll be sporting a hot minivan for the next two weeks...) we had a great time! Parker seemed to like the beach and sand, although as usual it was hard to tell. He wasn't so sure about the water. It was so much fun to watch the girls with Parker. They haven't seen him since Christmas. I didn't feed him, change a diaper, or really do much of anything without an audience! Chad & I both had to work this week so we left Tuesday afternoon. It was hard to leave knowing everyone was still there soaking up the sun but it was good to get home. Parker started coming down with a cold while we were there and since he sleeps best in his own bed, we had some looong nights! We're looking forward to a few more days with our family this weekend!
