St. Simons... here we come

When Philip was just 7 weeks old, we took him to St. Simons for his very first trip of many.  As you all know, St. Simons is the Buckler family's home away from home.  I have grown up going there every summer since I was 7 weeks old.  And Philip got to experience it for the first time at the big Buckler/Hanson family reunion.  He met so many cousins... even 3rd and 4th cousins...  The Hansons, who mostly live in Houston, brought Philip his first UT gear... a baby tee that says, "you can't spell cute without UT."  His uncle Boone, who currently goes to UT loved it but his daddy was very worried that we were confusing him at a young age so he put on his UGA gear with a downward "hook em' horns."  Oh how the Texas/Georgia battle already begins.  Anyway, Philip of course is a Buckler as he LOVED his new home away from home.  He loved even more spending all day everyday with his "sidekick" (as they lovingly called each other)... his Daddy Buck.  Philip and DB were pretty much on the same schedule each day... they ate together, had their baths at the same time, and even took naps together.  Philip would swing endlessly while Daddy Buck reclined in his luxurious lift chair and they would just talk to each other all day long. What fun... Philip loved his time with his Daddy Buck - it was definitely the highlight of Philip's first trip to the beach.  And since he was only seven weeks old, he didnt spend much time at the beach... I took him down to the ocean just for a minute all covered up just to touch his little toes in the sand and get some pictures to prove it... it counted!




Mom, no more pictures please... me and my Daddy Buck are relaxing!
Can you believe they are all related to me (Bucklers & Hansons)... and they tell me there is still more?!
