4th of July

We spent the week leading up to the 4th down in Duck, NC with Grammy and Grampy, Aunt Mere and cousins Kollin and Brady, and a huge mix of other family (sorry, no shout outs). It was Audrey's first extended beach time, and for the most part she seemed to enjoy it. On the 3rd we headed up to Ocean City to spend the 4th and the rest of the weekend with Nonna and Poppa, Parker and crew. She and Theresa stayed through last week, so they both got two weeks of beach time in (lucky). Thankfully for us, she seems to be a pretty good beach baby.

It just might be the soft sand, but Audrey definitely prefers the beach at OC to the beach in NC. She even got to play in the surf a little bit (and get bounced around), which is almost non-existent in NC. Straight from waves to shore down there, so not much room for a 1-year old to run around.

NC also provided us with our first opportunity to get Audrey on a bike. We each just got bikes, so we were experimenting with the best way to include Audrey in some rides. She seemed to like both the trailer and the baby seat, but we're partial to the baby seat. Besides, she looks so cute in her little helmet. Now we just have to convince her that there's more to look at than the tires on mommy's bike.
