Today was such an amazing day, it was not humid at all, there was a slight breeze and it wasn't very hot either it was so perfect. So we decided that it would be the perfect day to go to the beach. We slathered baby in sunscreen, packed all the essentials and headed to the beach. We have held off because I am a very paranoid momma and even though they now say sunscreen is safe for babies under 6 months I have still been cautious. Kevin turned 5 months on Friday so we finally decided to go for it. Kevin loves any trip we have outside, he is definitely an outdoors baby. He is so content just feeling the breeze and enjoying the fresh air he hardly ever fusses when we are outside. Anyway, back to the beach trip. After about 20 min of trying to find a metered parking spot because the lots were about $30 to park we finally made our way to the ocean front. It wasn't as crowded as we have seen it and I think in large part it had to do with people canceling their labor day weekend plans due to hurricane Earl (they predicted he would hit here a lot harder than he did) so not only was the weather perfect but it wasn't too crowded either. Kevin absolutely loved the sand. He had so much fun kicking it and digging his toes into it.
Playing in the sand.
I took him down to the water line to see how he would react to the water. The water here is not like the water back in the pacific northwest. It is so warm it feels like lukewarm bathtub water.
He didn't seem to mind the sand that was a little damp. He was actually pretty interested in it.
The first wave of water definitely surprised him.
Such a good baby. He didn't fuss at all with the water. You could tell it definitely surprised him but he didn't act upset or anything. He is such an awesome boy. There were so many families at the beach with so many kids. I am so excited for next year when he will be walking and wearing little beach shorts. He is definitely going to be a little beach boy!! All in all we had such an amazing day, what a great way to end the summer!!
