Back to the Beach

Grandpa Marty jokes that Collins has been to the beach more in her 5 1/2 months than he did in his first 35 years. It's true, she is being trained hard as a beach babe because it's her mom and dad's favorite activity. Collins was lucky enough to take her fifth trip to the beach this past week as we joined the Fork family at Wrightsville Beach for some fun. A couple of important discoveries were made during our stay at WB: a good tent on the beach makes all the difference, Brian can make some mean fried okra (yum), Will Ferrell is much skinnier (and grayer) in person (saw him at a restaurant one night- how cool?!?), Collins no longer wants to have anything to do with fine dining or eating out in general (found out the hard way), and you can never be too young to rock a bikini. Some fun shots from our trip...

She now moves around the activity mat like a wild woman- rolling over, grabbing items with her feet, making all kinds of odd noises, looking at herself in the miror- suffice it to say she really likes this toy.



She wants to practice standing up all the time now, except maybe not at this exact moment...


She is inching closer to crawling...



First steps in the Atlantic Ocean...


And general fun on the beach (with the exception being when she rolled over and landed face down in the sand)...



Grandpa and Grandma got Collins a pool which she loved...




Dad was not loving this suit, but couldn't resist...


And my favorite picture of the week- priceless!
