beachin' it

our first beach day of 2012 arrived yesterday. it was a beautiful

day in VA beach. we met some friends down there and had

fun sittin' on the sand, talking, and watching the kids

run around. it was quite windy and the water was too

cold for swimming but it was a good kick off to the summer.

she loved filling up and bucket of water with sand.

cailin kept coming around and pushing this water toy

onto my face. it hurt. i didn't like it. brady was getting her back.

brady kept trying to throw cailin up in the air

but was having a hard time doing so because

she wouldn't let go of his arms. silly girl.

run run run

my sweet beach babe

walking back to the truck. she loved her momo (elmo) bathing suit.

she would frequently look down, touch elmo, and say "momo" happily.

cailin was so fun and loved the sand. it made me realize that

this year will be a lot more fun with her at the beach than last year.

and once the water gets warmer i think she'll like that part too.
