Today we decided to FINALLY take Lexi to the beach. Yeah, it only took us 13 months to get this kid to the beach that we live 15-20 min away from. Wanyi and Melvin came too, and Lexi very much enjoyed Uncle Melvin teaching her how to scoop sand into her little bucket. She had it made in the shade: her own umbrella, using mom's laying-out chair, sippy cup, cheerios, and friends to show how to play in the sand.
And once the boys took their boards in the water, she was on her own to plop her lil booty in the sand. And eat rocks. I guess that's what I get for taking a kid who literally will put anything in her mouth to the beach with rocks and shells in the sand.
For as much as she has disliked the pool so far, I wasn't so sure she would like this trip, especially once she discovered the ocean. The closer we got to the water, the tighter she held on to daddy.
And once he put her down, it was all over. She even cried when I went in the water by myself.
But the ocean didn't eat anybody; we all survived and even snuck in a trip to Red Robin at the request of our hungry boys who thought unlimited fries was the greatest idea ever. (Until they figured out how big the hamburgers were)

Oh no! I think our babies switched water personalities. I think Lexi and I have future dates hanging by the side of the pool. We can work on our tans together. :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe she is going to like the snow. She can eat that after all. Then she can stay with Grandma in the winter! She looked cute even if she wasn't happy.
