Playing In The Sand

As we were driving down Highway 90 this weekend after we left the Childrens Museum I decided to bite the bullet and take pictures of Hill in the sand.  I'm a weird-o that really doesn't much care for the gritty crevice clogger known as sand.  It gets everywhere and never goes away...like glitter.  I hate glitter.  I know, poo poo on your parade with sunshiney sand and happy glitter.  I'd rather stick a fork in my eye.  No apologies. 

But...since my son is so stinkin' adorable and he had on a cute little outfit I decided to cease the moment.  Since it was 70 degrees, I took off his undershirt and rolled up his pants and voila - it's summer time at the beach in the middle of February.

We passed this street on the way.
I thought it was super cute

Sand Angels

I'm not 100% sure he was a fan of the sand touching him either.
We do love the water, but the sand is just so...everywhere.

Eating the sand was not very yummy

It was the best I could do.
He wouldn't look up because the sun was too bright

Naked time because Mommy hates sand!
It still managed to get in my car.
Ugh, Pesky Sand.

 Just a reminder....

This is what we were doing the week before.

Lynn Meadows Childrens Museum

Do yourself a favor and go to Gulfport, MS and visit the Lynn Meadows Childrens Museum.  It's worth the $7 (or $5 if you have a coupon) Hill and I both had an absolute BLAST!  We can't wait to visit the Childrens Museum in Jackson now and revisit the one on the coast again, hopefully next month!  I was so worried with him only being 13 months old that he wouldn't "get it" and would just stare at the other kids, but Lord was I wrong.  Look at all the fun things this little man did all in one day!

The Museum

There was a Mardi Gras Parade and the Chick-fil-a cow was there!
Hill was not too sure about the cow so I had hold him.
PS - The cow is in the red cape - - not the one holding Hill.

He DANCED DANCED DANCED at the parade

Here is where the parade was and all the people

People were dressed up really silly

We even made silly hats!
Hill had a dog with a mardi gras mask on.

He drove a rocket ship!

Dressed up at the old timey hotel

Shopped in the pretend grocery store

Bought a steak!

Picked out his own crab

Checked out the produce
or 'ball' as he called it then threw it on the ground.

rowed a boat in the green room
Outside the green room was a camera that made it look
like Hill was rowing through the water

There was a disabilities section where kids could see
what it's like if you are in a wheel chair and how to get through
gates.  There was an area where you test your senses as if you
were blind or deaf.  Very interesting.

Played dinosaurs

Explored with his safari hat

Tamed wild horses

Built with big blocks

Listened to the blocks

Met a friend named Conner that has Hill's same birthday!
He is from South Carolina

Looked through the blocks.

checked out the obstacle course

Are you sure it's safe?

Climbing over the obstacle course

In a tent

Watched the other kids pretend they were shrimping

Played in the train car
(I could not get him to leave this area)

Climbed every step to every tree house in sight

Looked out from the top of the tree house

Mama, You So Silly!

Investigated the leaves

Going through the tunnel

Peeking out the other end

And the portal at the top cracked him up!

Wow, what a day!  I took over 100 pictures, but these are just a few of my favorites.  We had so much fun!
