O's First Trip to the Beach

While we were in Delaware, we made a day trip to Bethany Beach. Olivia had never been to the beach before, so this was a special trip. The weather was perfect- sunny, but not hot. There was a pleasant breeze which kept us comfortable in the sun. We lathered Olivia down with sunscreen; we couldn't find a hat so we even put sunscreen in her hair (notice the faux-hawk). After she was adequately protected from the sun, we let her go to town-and go to town she did.

Olivia was crawling all over the beach in no time. Of course, she was always crawling away from the towels that we had layed out so we were having to go retrieve her every so often. She had a lot of people watching after her, so we let her do a little bit of exploring.

One thing that I noticed about the sand on this beach in Delaware is that it is a lot softer than the sand in the northeast part of Florida (where we usually go). There was not a lot of shell in the sand, and it was cool- even at noon. This made it perfect for Olivia to play in.

The water was still a little chilly, so we did not go swimming in the ocean. We did put our feet in a little- but not for too long (brrr....cold). We spent most of our time playing with Olivia on the beach. One of her favorite things was to have her daddy fly her around. It was a very fun day, of course. Is there even such a thing as a bad day at the beach? I don't think so.
