henry goes to the beach

the trip. like I said, it was wonderful. we left saturday morning, the day after graduation. at this point husband and I had a total of 8 hours sleep in the last 48 hours, and we were tired. skeptical of how the 10 hour drive would turn out we left early in the morning hoping for the best. we just so happened to be blessed with a child that does great in the car. he slept practically the whole way. we did have to stop to feed him a few times, which added quite a bit of time to the already long drive. and we are also entering into the world of massive blowouts. im pretty sure we went through 4 outfits by the time we got to carlsbad.

sunday came. easter. I was disappointed I hadn’t had enough time to put together baskets for henry or mckay. I realize henry isn’t even 3 months old yet, so I’m sure he didn’t mind. but it was his first easter. and I didn’t even take pictures of him in his cute easter outfit. fail.

the majority of the trip was spent eating amazing food,  shopping, and relaxing.

we are lucky enough to have family to stay with in Carlsbad. Henry loved being around the Greenwood ladies. he also met Cooper, the Greenwood’s king charles spaniel who desperately wanted to be henry’s friend.

we took a few trips to the beach, the weather was perfect. we learned that henry ray truly loves being outside. whenever he would get fussy we would take him outside and he would quickly calm down and look all around with big wide eyes.  this was especially the case at the beach.

we also made a trip down to the San Diego temple to walk around the grounds. henry seemed to enjoy that as well.
