Ryan in hot persuit of some seagulls!
He loved the feeling of soft powdery sand between his toes
Loved the beach and thankfully not as much oral intake of the sand this time around.
Ryan and Grammy played in the sand
Naked baby on the loose he got away as we were changing into dry clothes
Loved his dip in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico
The seagulls stole Grammy's sandwich out of her hand....
Bradenton Beach...such paradise!
Ryan enjoyed chasing the seagulls!
View from the Sunhouse restaurant sun deck. Greg and I enjoyed a day at the beach sans baby....hey it was our vacation too.
More views of Bradenton Beach
Looking down at the shops and hotels along the beach.
The weather was perfect...not even a drop of rain.
Enjoying a few tropical drinks on our date day a the beach.
We had such a fantastic time on our date but of course all we did was talk about Ryan!
More views from the sun deck
A photo of Greg and I on our date...it was sheer bliss.
Ryan squirming away would not even hold still for a quick snapshot wanted to get down and play!
Ryan and Daddy on the slide
Having so much fun...so many beautiful playgrounds so close to the condo too.
Ryan made some new friends....a group of kids in an after school program
They all adored Ryan and he thought he was their age....it was too cute for words.
They wanted to help him along the way
One was at the top and they waited for him at the bottom and yelled and clapped when he came down the slide....adorable!
A beautiful painting of the beach by Auntie Jen the artisit!
On the day we were leaving I turned my back for a second to pack something.......
Ryan dumped his cereal I was going to pack to bring home.... but hey it kept him occupied for almost 10 minutes while we finished packing.
A pretty flower on the lush grounds of the condo.....very bright and everything looked so green and tropical.
