at the beach in october!

emerald isle, nc
our first family beach trip. =)

other than a short trip with the clarke's (my older sister's family) in july, where he didn't even get out of his carseat, this was teagan's first trip to the beach!

trevin and i always collect shells at the beach. this time, his favorite was a little white clam shell with a hole in the top.

i wanted to make a sand castle, but it took about 10 mins just to convince trevin to come join me. he didn't like the water and i guess my castle was too close to the water for his comfort... although it was a good 20 feet away. =)

teagan's first time "in" the water!
the water was pretty cold, so none of us actually went in. which was good since a fisherman about 15 yards away caught a baby shark while we were there!

trevin took about 40 mins to venture off the towel, but eventually he decided he liked the sand ok.

trevin in his shades on the pier. i forget the name of it, but there's a big, long pier that goes pretty far out over the water and is pretty high as well. there were tons of people fishing off of it. it was really neat! you could look down into the water and see lots of jellyfish!... yet another reason i'm glad we didn't go swimming! =)
