Weekend at the Beach

Due to Hurricane Ike, our weekend at the beach was postponed to a couple of weekends ago. It was definitely worth the wait, though, because both kids had such a blast! Riley had all of the words down before we got there (beach, ocean, sand), although I'm not really sure she knew what she was getting into!

WARNING: LOTS OF PICTURES!

First things first, putting the beach toys into action

"Okay, I'm not sure about this ocean"

"Someone get this sand off my foot...STAT!""

Notice the death grip she's got on Josh's shirt!

"I think I'll just watch from here"

Dalton, on the other hand, was not at all hesitant about the beach! He was like a kid in a candy store, running all over the place! Here are a few snapshots of him enjoying his surroundings:

He's eating a snack, although I'm sure there was some sand mixed in there...which he did not seem to mind at all

When we were about to leave the beach after the first day, Riley got really upset and decided it was time to put on a brave face and head into the water.

By day 2, you wouldn't have known she had been so fearful the first day!
