Beach Bum....

Oscar is the first Merkel boy to NOT have an immediate love for sand.  
Which doesn't bode well for our lifestyle of beach vacations right now.  
The one advantage to the dislike of sand on Oscar's feet 
was it SLOWED him down.  
And on some occasions 
even made him stay on the blanket to play.

But overall he wasn't happy not moving 
and running like his brothers.
And he was also getting to heavy and big 
to carry for very long on a sandy beach.
On our most recent Thanksgiving beach trip 
Oscar tipped the scale on his dislike of the scratchy sand.  
The fun of the waves and getting 
wet & messy convinced him 
to just go for it! 
And he joined the ranks of 
total Beach Bum
 like his big brothers!
