Dyl's first beach day

Dyl's first time sitting in the sand. "Hmm...what is this stuff, Mommy?'

"I don't know, it's kind of weird. Not much like that tasty grass we have in Ohio."

"Speaking of tasty, I wonder if this stuff is any good to eat?"

"Well, I know one way to find out the answer to that question."

"Daddy! You never let me have any fun or eat anything cool! Hmpf!"

There was a rainbow out for Dyl's very first day on the beach (she was out on the beach for a brief moment the previous evening, but only to quickly dip her toes in the ocean before bed!) I think it's a good sign that she's going to always be a beach lover.

"I might not be old enough to build sandcastles with these beach toys yet, but they sure are great to chew on. Thank you, Heather!"

My cutie pie beach baby. When she sees the ocean for the first time when we walk over the top of the dune (last night, and a couple of times today), she gets so excited she shrieks & kicks & smiles. Today she was sitting in the sand where the shallow surf would wash up around her, and a bigger than average wave came and whooshed around her pretty hard. (I was holding her up.) She also got a big of salt water in her face. But she never fussed at all, she's our tough cookie!

Umbrellas make excellent entertainment as well as shade.
