vacation!

We had such a great time on the West Coast! Ethan loved the beach. We spent hours wandering around, digging in the sand, picking up rocks and shells (and seaweed, yuck), and building sandcastles! Or rather, I built them, and Ethan played the part of Godzilla. He also loves to have his feet buried in the sand. After the burying process, we ask him "where are Ethan's toes?" and he gives a silly little grin. Sometimes he pulls them out right away, and sometimes he just eases them out like he's trying to draw out the suspense. At the end, when the toes are displayed for all to see, we get the big grin. Unfortunately, we have no pictures of the "grin". This picture was taken when we buried his whole bottom half in the sand, which he thought was great fun until he discovered that he couldn't move!
