An Assateague Afternoon

Henry and Keely enjoy the afternoon on Assateague Island, MD
We left this morning for our trip to the eastern shore for Larry and Kelly’s wedding, which takes place tomorrow afternoon. We decided to take a trip to Assateague Island before checking into our hotel in Ocean City.
This was Henry’s first time visiting the ocean.
All on Keely’s mind was getting her suit on, and playing in the water, while Henry was more fascinated with the sand.
Keely spent the afternoon in the water and building a sand castle, while Henry did venture into the water a few times, he spent most of his time walking up and down the beach and sitting down lifting sand and letting it sift through his fingers.
On a side note, I am posting this entry while sitting next to the balcony in our hotel room, overlooking a small private beach and the Chesapeake Bay.
Hamburger Henry

Henry chowing down his first hamburger on a bun
Tonight was burger night and after Linda and I prepared our hamburgers, Henry was relentless trying to eat both of our hamburgers. He wasn’t satisfied having cut up hamburger meat on a plate when we were eating them on a bun with all the fix’ins. So, we thought we better make him his own hamburger.
Henry prefers the one-hand technique for eating his burger.
I cut a hamburger in half (thin ways), put it on a bun with mayo, pickles, tomato and lettuce. Henry dived in, chowing down on it.
The method Henry preferred was the one-hand technique. This is also the preferred method of Moose and Booker, as they scarf up what falls on the floor.
This little guy is not a picky eater, that’s for sure.
Splish Splash

The neighborhood kids came by this evening for some water fun with the Slip-n-Slide. Henry has yet to work up the courage to try it, so he decided to just watch up close and from all locations around the slip-n-slide. Not sure how he managed to elude all the other kids, but he managed to survive untouched, only getting splashed occasionally.
On the down side, Keely landed hard on her leg and got a large bruise and didn’t get to participate as long. She shook off the injury and returned to get a few slides in before Linda made hot chocolate for them all to enjoy in the backyard.
Dora the Explorer

Henry sits and watches Dora the Explorer on TV.
It was bound to happen, there was no preventing it. Henry has discovered a love for watching television, well, to be more specific a certain show — Dora the Explorer.
Shouts of “Door, Door” fill the house as Henry hears the opening music, or sees Dora on a plate, or T-shirt. He now has his first obsession — watching DVDs of Dora the Explorer over and over again.
I’m sure this phase will only last a short time. College football season is approaching, maybe I can convince him to join me in my television obsession from September through early January.
