Beach Fun

Addie has been to the beach twice this year so far. The first beach experience was not a pleasant one for her. We drove down to Florida early one morning in May for my great uncle's funeral and drove back that afternoon so while we were there we just stopped by the beach. She HATED it!!!! She cried when we sat her in the sand and had a complete melt down when I put her feet in the ocean water. She wasn't a happy camper at all.
She didn't like getting dirty... hmm... I wonder when she gets this from. LOL.
Hey, at least she isn't screaming. I actually had to put a shirt under her so she wasn't touching the sand at all.
Now she isn't touching either sand or water and she is happy.

We just got back from Gulf Shores on Sunday. By Sunday she was actually enjoying both sand and water. She wasn't sure of it to begin with.

She LOVED splashing in the ocean then licking the salt water off of her hand. Most of the other pictures that I took she has her tongue sticking out.

This picture was taken early Saturday morning. We just went down for the weekend. She was still a little uncertain of the sand but she warmed up to it quickly.

I absolutely LOVE the beach. I would live down there if I could. We are making another trip down next week and are staying for 12 days. I am so excited. We will be down there for the 4th of July. I can't wait to see Addie's reaction to Fireworks. I hope she stays up that late. The sand and sun wore her out fast this weekend. She slept so well. She slept the whole 4 hours home in the car from the beach which made travel a breeze. Well, I will try to blog more when we are down there. Have a wonderful summer! See you all soon!
