Beach Bum

This holiday weekend, we took a short vacation from the city and went down to visit Uncle Dan and Auntie Chris.  We spent a half day at the beach and Alice took the opportunity to take her first dip in the ocean.  She LOVED it!  She really enjoyed playing in the sand and especially enjoyed jumping over the waves as they came in.  The water was pretty chilly, but she didn't seem to notice.

Here she is, rocking her beach cover and new hat and soaking in the sun:

Before venturing out into the ocean, we ate a picnic lunch on our beach blankets.  Alice got so into the beach food, she even tried a handful of sand!  Here are Alice and Mommy, getting ready to head into the water after lunch:

After running in the surf a bit, Alice and Daddy sat and waited for the waves to roll in:

Alice was fearless.  She loved standing in the water as the waves crashed into her legs.  A couple of times, she even got to taste the salt water!

There is no doubt that we have a water baby!  She would spend every day in the water if she had the chance.

Here is a link to the photos from our fun 4th of July weekend down by Cape Cod!
