Surfside Beach

We went on our first camping trip of the year to Surfside. Although it was windy and overcast we had a good time. There was also a lot of seaweed, but it should go away further into the summer. Emilee wasn't too sure about the waves. She would say 'water', so I would ask her if she wanted to go out in the water and she would quickly respond 'no' and start backing up. But of course she had lots of fun digging in the sand.

Ready to head to the beach.

We were playing next to a spot that the waves would come up into a kind of channel, so she would play in that water.

The big kids were playing with boats...  she wanted to play but would quite go into the water where they were

Granny tried to coax her out into the water, but she was one baby on a mission to come back to the sand. I love the stance and determination of her posture.

I did take her out into the waves and sat down to see what she would do. She would smile on second and then whine the next and point back to the beach, so we didn't stay out there long. Maybe by the end of the summer she'll like the waves... we'll see.

Since she wasn't having anything to do with the waves we played in the sand. As fast as I could make a sand castle mold, she would either step on it, push it over or even sit on it.

Playing at the beach makes her thirsty.
