Our first taste of the beach this summer was at St. Simon's Island. Although Tony and I had been on a couple of church camps there, we had never been for a beach vacation. We were pleasantly surprised at how many treasures we found there. From the sandollars and contant dolpins spotted swimming by to the little boutique warehouse that I could spend a small fortune in, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Maeve's experience on the beach was very little as she was a 3 month old the last time she was there. We were scared to get her in the sun too much and heaven forbid a little sand get on our fresh baby girl! What a difference a year makes! She did not hesitate even for one second to get sandy and run straight for the waves. She even shrugged us off as we tried to help her "fight" the waves. She's such little determined thing! She ate sand, rested her head on the sand, and even dipped her sucker in the sand for an added texture and taste! She is destined to be our beach baby!
And, finally, Cam enjoyed being on the beach. This comes after many trips of destesting the sand and the heat. I used to have to bribe him out there with snacks, and when his snacks were gone, so was he...back inside! He even decided that he could get in and ride the waves! This was a far cry from last year when I don't even think his big toe hit the water! He still wasn't 100% busy and occupied, so I'm thinking a bike and a baseball bat and ball just might turn him in to a true-blue beach boy.
Ahhh, Summertime!
