We really wanted to try to take some family beach pictures. We weren't sure how they would turn out since we were using the tripod instead of having someone in the family keep Carter's attention. We were pleasantly surprised that Carter cooperated so well and that we actually got a few good pictures!
Our little family of 3 (soon to be a family of 4)!
Oh, how we adore this boy! We can't imagine our life without him!
Daddy and Carter
Carter wanted to play "horsey" so Joe ran up and down the beach yelling "neigh" with Carter on his shoulders! 
Carter thought this was the most fun! 
Mommy and Carter
Carter didn't understand why Mommy couldn't play horsey like Daddy! This was Courtney's best attempt! Carter didn't enjoy this quite as much!
Carter found some seaweed so he decided to check it out...
smile for a picture...
and throw it back into the ocean!
Whee!
Carter's little foot in the sand!
