Barbeques, Beaches and Baths

The Gates clan was over on Wednesday evening for a brief stint of golf and play. The boys got to take a tubby after a long days play. Tommy still is working on the sharing thing. Notice the hairy eyeball that he is giving baby Nicky for chewing on his toy!

Last night we went over to our friends Scott and Kellie's. We had a Bar-Be-Que and played out on the dock by the water. Daddy heard the ice cream truck while we were out back to we ran to the front so Tommy could have his first ice cream truck experience. (It was my first too)!

He went with the chocolate eclair.

Then shared some with Daddy.

Tommy was grabbing any hand that would take him out to the dock to play. This was Miss Heather's turn.

And Daddy's turn.

Mommy's turn. We discussed the "wa wa" and boats for quite some time. He loves the water which is a little un-nerving at times but we are going to do some infant water safety courses starting today so that make me feel a little better.

As if he didn't have enough sweets with the eclair he got a chocolate chip cookie that I had just made fresh out of the oven before we went out for the barbeque. (Sorry these are out of order)!

Notice the smile below, and it is not from the enjoyment of the cookie it was because he was ripping some serious gas and he thought it was funny. Apple doesn't fall from the tree. He proclaimed, "Tommy fart!"

That late morning we hit the beach over off of Sandbridge road for about an hour. It was an amazingly gorgeous day so we absolutely had to take advantage of it. He did a lot of playing in the sand and hit the FREEZING water with just his feet for a few seconds. He also toppled in when a wave caught him unexpectedly, he didn't like that one so much. The water really was cold.

I think Tommy hit daddy right in the satchel, which I can assure you Fred wasn't too happy about!!! Tommy likes to rough house with his daddy. It is good times for all even the spectators!
