We arrived safely last night and got a good night’s sleep. This morning we went shopping for a while, ate some lunch and then home for a short nap. Then it was time for Ava to see the Ocean for the first time! We packed up all the necessary beach stuff and walked over. I took Ava to the edge of the water and sat her down and she immediately started crying. She wasn’t a big fan. I sat with her in the shade and tried to get her to play in the sand, but she didn’t care for that too much either. I think I may have a high maintenance baby. Eventually she took a little walk in the sand with me and took the opportunity to annoy Dylan by stealing her sand castle toys.
Dylan on the other hand has always loved the beach. She was ready to dive in! I picked her up and we went into the very rough waters and I was immediately knocked on my butt and of course she went down with me. Her face didn’t go under water, but after that mommy wasn’t allowed to take her into the water anymore. We hit the pool after the beach and well Ava wasn’t a big fan of that either. Both girls were worn out though so mission accomplished as far as I’m concerned!
Ava is fast asleep and yes as usual Dylan is still awake. She’ll fall asleep as soon as I lay down and stop blogging! Miss you Daddy, wish you were here!
