Labor Day weekend trip to the beach...

We decided to brave the traffic, the crowds, and the sun on Labor Day weekend to hit the beach. Despite leaving at beach rush-hour, we made it down quick, found a great parking spot, and a great spot near the water. Caleb has turned beach bum, and seemingly can't get enough of the sand and the ocean (and even the shower up near the boardwalk)!
Here he is below smiling for the camera with his beautiful mama!Below, puffing his chest out, practicing to meet the waves head on!


Now contemplating a new project:
Checking out the mechanics of the camera...
Here he is surveying his oceanic domain...
He was afraid of the sand and the water at the beginning of the summer. What a difference! Now he's out in the waves that Hurricane Gustav sent up to New Jersey, and you have to drag him out. That makes his dad awful happy! What a summer!
