A canoe trip around the canals and mangroves.

Noah explains the estuarine mangrove system ecology

We took a nice walk through a local Cocoa Beach park.

Noah was very excited about his self proclaimed "safari"

Cutie Chloe looks for some more tasty sand morsels

We had to keep her up or she would seriously try to eat the whole beach

Noah touched a couple toes in the water but was dedicated sand crab while at the beach. During our first trip his first act was to lay face down and dig his hands and feet in as deep as possible.

We had a great celebration of Chloe's first birthday.

Making friends with the neighbor's dog

If its not sand, its grass, if not grass well pretty much anything and everything goes in the mouth
