the ocean and the elevator

Family vacation success! We had a great trip to Cocoa Beach, FL with my sister and her family to visit my mom and step dad. Beautiful beach, sunny skies, and a really great time with the fam makes for a fantastic vacation.

The week before we left Ethan and I talked about airplanes a lot. We watched some videos on YouTube of airplanes taking off and practiced pretend buckling our seat belts. Ethan kept talking about how airplanes go up, up, up in the sky. He was pretty excited to see the airplanes once we got to the airport!


Apparently, he thought his shoes needed shining.

Our flights went fairly well, thanks to Ethan's new found love of Dora the Explorer, which we uploaded on to the iPad and he excitedly watched for most of our two flights. Once we go to Cocoa Beach we headed out to see the beach!

In this picture Ethan's getting ready to see the ocean for the first time! (And literally, this is when our camera died. We then realized we had not packed our camera battery charger). 

Luckily we picked up a new camera battery charger within a day or so and so we were able to get a few more pics of our family fun in Florida!

Grandma Sheila and Papa Dean took us to the Brevard County Zoo. Ethan got to feed carrots to the giraffe!



Auntie, Uncle Russell and sweet niece Ella.

We got to go to my mom and step dad's church for a home cooked church potluck.


And we spent a lot of time enjoying the beach! Ethan could not get enough of the waves. He kept saying "here it comes!!!" over and over. So darn cute.

Beach bum, hanging out in the shade.
And with Grandma Sheila.

Ethan had a lot of fun putting sand in his buckets.

We searched for seashells.

All the ladies enjoyed the shade.

A very happy Weseloh family.

On our last day after a morning at the beach my mom and step dad took us to big pier at Jetty Park to see some huge cruise ships leave the port. It was another gorgeous afternoon!



You know it's a great vacation when you wish you were still there! When we talk about Florida Ethan keeps saying "down down the elevator" (which is how we got to the ocean from our condo) and then "ocean" and "seashells." We all had blast and can't wait until we get to see the ocean again! Thanks Grandma Sheila and Papa Dean for a great time!
