trip to the beach

We went to Florida for the weekend to visit my dad and Cindy. It was a much needed break from the cold, and a great way to spend my birthday weekend!

We had a lovely birthday dinner on the beach and got to enjoy the sunset.

It was Oscar's first time at the beach and ocean. He wasn't sure what to think of it all at first. He wasn't too sure he wanted to touch it or even walk on it. Eventually he got used to it and was happy to scoop the sand into his mouth.

A pail of water + sand + shovels + Grandpa = fun!

Oscar also got to have a practice run at birthday cake. It was a huge mess and lots of fun... and he really liked the cake!

It was a very relaxing weekend. The warm weather was just what we needed and will hopefully get us through till the spring thaw.
