Birthday Parties and Beach Trips

Our grandson, Nicholas, turned 3 years old on May 6. Wow, how fast time flies. It only seems like yesterday that we were all at the hospital, waiting his arrival. This past Saturday was Nicholas's birthday party. The weather was beautiful and the party was a ton of fun. The kids really enjoyed splashing around the splash pad. They had so much fun, it was difficult to get a picture of Nicholas or Tyler not running. Enjoy the pics below.

Boy, this cake is sooo good

This is so much fun!

So many gifts to open

After the birthday party, we headed to the beach with Lee, Regina, Tyler, and Brianne. Tyler had never ridden in Granddaddy's boat and was so excited about it. We went out to the island and played in the sand. We had a great time, but the jellyfish were already out, which kept us from playing in the water. It's unusual for them to be out this early. It's usually the 4th of July when we start seeing them. Oh, well. Maybe they will go away as quickly as they came.
