Mom Lyons was off for Spring Break, so Aiden and I headed down to Tampa. Aiden enjoyed several firsts, including his first time at the beach and his first time on a swingset. We had a blast with Grandpap and Mimi (and their cats!), though we missed Clyde very much. He had some important things to do at home... like reenlist! Aiden seemed to remember the pool... he pouted and squirmed everytime I took him out of the water to dry off. While in the pool, he discovered how hilarious splashing is, and tried to get away from me and swim on his own. The calm waves and (relatively) warm water of Siesta Key provided Aiden a great introduction to the beach. He loved the water and kept trying to run around me to get ride the waves solo. We cannot wait until our next visit to Tampa!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Back into the water!
Let's get wet! (again)
Wet sand feels good between the toes!
Move it or lose it, Mom! I'm going for a swim!
Aiden enjoys the beach.
The joy of splashing...
