"Debbie sure did get cranky..."

So the summer has come and gone and I thought that I would be a lot better about keeping up with the blog, but I guess not!!! It has been wonderful to spend time with Owen as Nick and I watch him grow. We have kept ourselves busy with him and family.

Our first summer trip was to Florida.  I was a little nervous with this being Owen's first big trip, plane ride and vacation, but he was a CHAMP!  He slept the whole time on the flight down to Florida.

We had a great time while we were there spending time with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Matt, Aunt Lindsey and Cousin Jake.  Owen had a lot of firsts....

Swimming (in a pool and the ocean)

They little guys were pretty tuckered out by the end of the day.

The Beach

Bonding with the cousin

Actually, Owen slept while Nick bonded with Jake at the beach!

 

                                                                                                         Jake dared Owen to eat Nick's 1 pound burger while he was in the bathroom.  

Jake wanted to sleep near Owen so he slept in the wardrobe at the foot of our bed.

Sightseeing and enjoying the wildlife

Tropical Storm Debbie

First tropical storm of the season and of course we are staying in St. Petersburg, right on the beach.

Grandma decided the best place for Owen was in the bathtub!

Nick and I even got to do something for the first time... parasailing and it was awesome!

It was a great way to start our summer travels and definitely got Owen prepared for traveling and gave us a better idea of everything that traveling with a baby entails!
