We managed to sneak in a last minute vacation to Florida this week so Owen had another big first; his first trip to the beach. He is so my son because he loved everything about the beach except the sand. He managed to get sand everywhere (including a handfull in the mouth). We had a great time and Owen was absolutely fearless. The first thing he did was DRAG me to the ocean. We got in up to his bellybutton and then he tried dragging me out farther. Good thing I am afraid of the ocean or else Owen would have dragged me all the way to Africa. Oh yeah, the pair of nostrils you see sticking out of the water and those of some Manatee. We saw a ton of them and even touched them (with my foot). My mom was a dare devil and jumped in and swam with them.
