Beach Weekend

Henry, Soph and I went to the beach this last weekend.  We had a really good time. Lots of comfort food, relaxation, watching the trains go by, playing fetch, building sand castles and just simply enjoying each other.

 Henry made up a new game with his BFF Sophie.  "Stay....Stay....Stay...."

 "Got you!"

 Henry, trying to fix his bucket.  Every time I tried to assist he responded "NO, Hen-ie do it!"  So independent!

 Stomp, stomp, stomp.  In Henry's book, this is the only reason to build a sand castle, so you can stomp it down.

 Burying his feet.  He loves the sand. 

 Why not bathe in it too?

 Victory!

 Mmm, mmm, yum.  We have a tradition of buying an ice cream cone whenever we visit the beach.  Mama and Henry love ice cream.  Henry ALWAYS chooses "geeeen kiiiine" (aka mint chocolate chip).  He calls the chocolate chips "coooookiiiiiies"  and the cone "kunchie kiiiiine." 

This is one messy-faced happy self portrait, taken as we watched the train depart from the depot across the street.  Henry LOVES trains.
