First things first- checking out the beach
Trying to decide if he likes it..
Maybe....

In fact, he was terrified and spent most of his week under the beach canopy fretting about the water getting too close and wanting everyone to stay in the shade with him.
Beach babies!
Building sand castles with daddy.
Race cars in the sand.

After several days of canopy confinement, we convinced Max to splash around in a tide pool. You know, because playing around a bunch of slippery, jagged rocks is much safer than playing in the ocean.
Making a mad dash for the canopy.
Distracted by tire tracks. Such a boy!
Where Drake men are gathered, cigars will be found.
Max wanted to snuggle on the couch with his cousins. Luckily, they are very good sports!
Max letting us know how old he is.
Max made good use of natural sunblock- a thick layer of sand.
Max FINALLY went into the ocean on our last day. Jeff basically just said, "We're going in and you're going to like it." And he did!
Telling Daddy all about going in the water.
Taking one last dip with Papa, Daddy and Daniel.
The next time we are all together there will be one more baby in the picture!
