Sand Between Our Toes

We decided to take an impromptu trip to the beach. We figured the water would still be chilly but we were desperate to get our toes in the sand. It was rather warm but the cool breeze by the ocean made for an enjoyable visit. As soon as we set our stuff down Ava was begging to get in the water. We got set up and Ava and daddy took off running. Ava didn't seem to mind that the water was rather cold. She jumped right in! This was Lucy's 2nd trip to the beach outside of mommy's tummy. It was her first trip where she could actually sit up and enjoy the beach. Lucy and I hung out under the umbrella and dug in the sand....Well, Lucy tried to eat the sand. Later Ava and I collected some seashells for a work that I'm putting together for her. She was set on finding the biggest seashells she could find. Daddy and Ava dug a big hole and covered themselves with sand. Overall we had a great first visit to the beach Summer of 2015.

Feeling the wet sand for the first time.
