We went to the beach at the beginning of June, and it went about a million times better than the last one (which was almost a year ago, wow!). Instead of a screaming Paige, we had a happy, happy girl who loved the water immediately.
I went to the Dollar Store and bought a whole bunch of toys, which ended up mostly being used to clear away the seaweed by adults and Charlotte alike. She played in that seaweed pretty much the whole time I was taking pics of Paige. Really, it worked out perfectly, because the last time we went to the beach, there was one lonely little picture of Paige and about 50 of Charlotte. It was nice to have a chance to focus solely on Paige. Of course, Charlotte did get her fair share of pictures taken of her. Look at that gorgeous sky - it was perfect beach weather!
She had been throwing the seaweed back in the water, but I guess she decided to see what happened with her shovel. Right after that, I think she noticed the color of the water, because she pointed to the ocean and told Koby, "Look, Daddy, it's chocolate! And bubbles!" Come to think of it, the water was pretty brown...
Koby took her out in the waves to try out her float, and it went really well...until a wave broke over her and got her face wet. Then she was all done and curled up with Daddy.
True to her toddler self, she was having a hard time getting over it. Eventualy we got her to stop pouting by having a family water fight. She didn't quite get the hang of filling the squirt gun, but she could shoot it a little bit. She loved squirting daddy and being squirted.
The last day, as we were packing up to head home, the girls noticed baby Ellie and tended to her for a while. There was also baby Sarita to play with, but I never took any pics of the girls together. Oops!
What a great weekend!
