1st Day

 

I have been lax in blogging but today, is Alex's first day of Kindgarten. He is attending Vida Charter School in Gettysburg. He seemed very excited this morning (and a bit tired). Thankfully, Pat was able to take him to the school bus and leave Mommy (the basketcase) home with Connor and her meetings.

Part 4: Drive Home

 
 
 
 
 
The drive home from vacation is always the worst. It gets worse with a tired/hungry/cranky 1 year old. To keep Connor's attention, until we could stop to eat, we played with the camera. It was not until we reached the Bay Bridge that he eventually fell asleep and slept until Westminster.

Frontier Town

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On Wednesday, it was a cloudy and humid day...perfect day to try out something else. So we went to Frontier Town. Alex enjoyed the shows, riding the stage coach, the pony ride, and sitting in a paddle boat. Connor seemed to enjoy the animals.

Part 3: The Beach

When not in the waves, Alex seemed to enjoy destroying/bombing sand castles. He would create his cities and then quickly destroy everything in the area.

Connor did not like the sane until a good 30 mins with patient Abuela. Then he would sit on someone's lap and use a shovel to take sand out of a pail.

Day 2 & 3

Monday and Tuesday were perfect ocean days. The water was a little cool but that did not stop Alex from wanting to go in ALL the time. I was able to take him out some on Monday but on Tuesday, the current was too strong and Alex too adventurous for me to handle him. Thankfully, Abuelo enjoyed taking him in the waves.

Alex's Portraits

Hard to believe... but here is a link to Alex's 5 year portraits

He did great :)

Part 2: Playground

 
 
Another nice thing about the Sea Watch was the children's playground. Connor was the easier child to take pictures of but Alex enjoyed the playset and the 2 pirate boats. He quickly designated himself Captain and had a few mateys to order around.
