Toes in the Sand-April 14, 2012

We have been wanting to take you to the beach for a while.  This morning we went to visit one of my high school friends at the beach that just had her 4th baby and while we were there we went for your first beach trip!  I must say, with everything we had to take, I won't be going by myself until you can walk! 

You were in your cute little swim suit!  Walking up the boardwalk to the beach the wind was blowing in your face and you just laughed and giggled!  We got your little blanket spread out and put you on it while we put the umbrella up.  Then...we put your toes in the sand!  You didn't quite know what to think!  You sat there and immediately dug in.....and into the mouth the sand went!  I spent more time telling you no sand in your mouth and pulling your hands away from your face than anything else! You were mezmorized by all the people and the animals on the beach.  You didn't know where to look.  We took you down to put your feet in the water...you just looked at it.  The water was freezing so we didn't keep you in it long!  When we got back up to the blanket, we sat you back in the sand and what did you find....a sharks tooth!  And a big one at that!  I can remember finding little ones growing up, but never one this big!  And the first place it went, in your mouth!  Rotten little monkey you are!

We will definitely be going back because overall you had a blast!  You will for sure be a beach bum like your Mama.  I always LOVED going to the beach when I was little and even now I like to go just relax!  It's so peaceful listening to the waves roll in!
