My First Trip to the Beach!

Hi Everybody!
Well, the past month has had A LOT of excitement! I got to go to the beach for the first time! Daddy, Mommy, and I met Grammy Nancy, Aunt Lynn, Uncle Rod, Aunt Andrea, and my cousins in Destin, FL. It began with mommy waking me up Saturday morning at 4:00 AM. Needless to say, I was NOT impressed. But I was a trooper and was good for ten of the eleven hour drive. I thought about being good for the final hour but what fun is that? I wanted to see how frazzled I could get daddy! It worked!

The beach was so much fun! Mommy says it was the worst year ever cause Hurricane Dolly pushed all the jellyfish to Destin. You could barely get in the ocean! But my brave cousins Aleksandra, Austin, and Bryce did it. Mommy and Daddy did not (chickens!). Even Cousin Libby tried to get in! But her mommy wouldn't let her either. Oh well. I enjoyed the sand, as you can see, and just crawling around. Everyone else enjoyed laying out.

We did take a walk to the pier one night. It was a nice walk and we all had a good time. I got to hang out with my cousins to I had a blast.

At one point, Aunt Lynn had the brilliant idea of telling Mommy I could get worms by eating the sand. Mommy, of course, became neurotic and shoved a paci in my mouth every time we were at the beach. I didn't want it. The sand was much tastier.

We had great weather until the last day of our trip. Then it started to get stormy. We were down at the beach, and I kept tellin them it was time to go in. I finally just headed in on my own!

Well, that is it for the beach trip! My next post will probably be when I turn one! Mommy is already crying about it! Good grief! In the meantime, check out my other beach pictures!
