Bahamas - Day 2

Some of you many be wondering if Collin is having a good time on the trip even though he has a broken leg in a cast. While he may not be able to swim, he is having a great time exploring the island and making new friends. This morning after breakfast, he decided he wanted to walk around the Marina Village. He spotted a small ledge that he could use to hold himself up and walk along (it's the white colorful ledge in the background of the picture below). Here he is walking back after flirting with some ladies than had just gotten off of the cruise ship. He is a charmer without the cast. The cast makes people stop and talk to him even more than before.

After breakfast, we went back to the room so Collin could take a nap before we headed to the beach. It was not as easy as laying Collin down in his crib. He wanted to play with his stuffed animals, walk around the hotel room and explore. He finally did get tired and took a nap when we both laid down with him. After he woke up, he and dad watched TV. Aren't they cute?

We then packed up, had some lunch and headed to the beach. Collin had a great time playing in the sand. Instead of using his cups to gather the sand, he would grab a handful of sand and then let if fall into the cup. Daddy would build a mound of sand around him and Collin would immediately tear it down...that was all part of the game.

Daddy then took Collin to the water which he LOVED!! He stood there with daddy's help, waited for the water to come in and then laugh as the water got his feet wet. I thought he might have been afraid of the water but should have known that he wouldn't since he loves swimming in Mimi's pool. He did this several times and then daddy started to head back to the beach. Collin started to point back to the water because he was not ready to go. He was having too much fun. We had a bag over his cast so it would not get wet but did not want him to be in it too long....and were not too sure it would work....which we found out that it did when we took it off.
