The Beach

About two weeks ago, when the weather was a little warmer, we headed down to the beach for one of our last "bathing suit" visits of the season. We still continue to spend time there these days, but we are often clad in jeans and long sleeves.

The beach is one of Sam's favorite places, and she begs at least twice every day to go down there. Sometimes when we head out for a walk, she has a small meltdown if this Momma chooses to go the right when we exit our driveway instead of to the left ... which will take us down to the beach.


The water was just starting to cool down for the season, but Sam didn't mind:





Her favorite thing is the slide:

It's amazing what a difference a year can make. Last summer, I had to watch Sam "like a hawk" down at the beach; she would run from one end to the other and I was fearful of her getting too close to the water without supervision. She had limited interest in the slide at that time, as well.

This year, I was able to just sit back and watch her, without worrying so much. Of course, we always had Sophia with us while we were down there this summer, so I had to balance my time between the two girls. It wasn't as relaxing for me as it could have been, but we created a lot of fun memories while we were there.
