Memorial Day Weekend 2012

We had a big road trip to Virginia over Memorial Day weekend.  We went to visit Gabriel's great grandpa for the first time and Gabriel had SO much fun!  Grandpa taught him how to high-five and he got a very special treat for the first time.  We figured no better place than Pa's to try ice cream for the first time and Gabriel loved it!                                                         Yummy!

 After a great visit with Grandpa & Dot we headed to the Lake where Gabriel got to meet all of his Johns family cousins for the first time.  1st cousins, 2nd cousins, all kinds of cousins!

                                                    We make cute kids in our family:-)

                                                          Cool guy in his sunglasses.

 Gabriel swam in the lake for the first time and he loved it!  He drank a bunch of lake water, but that didn't seem to bother him:)

                                                                   Afternoon playtime

Gabriel, Martha Lucy and Caroline are the newest additions to the crop of cousins.

I'm 11 months!

Just before our big Memorial Day Trip, on 5/23 Gabriel turned 11 months!

It's Official.....

Gabriel is mobile!

Yum, this sand tastes good

Gabriel's second beach trip was a success!  He loved the sand and the ocean!  He especially liked the way the salty sand tasted.  We played in the sand, sat on the edge of the water and let waves roll up on us and he even liked going into the ocean.  

10 months!

Gabriel turned 10 months on April 23rd, while we were in FL visiting his Papa & Nina.
