1st Beach Day of the Year



John and I took the girls to the beach. The weather was absolutely perfect. We walked comfortably around in jeans and t-shirts while people comfortably swam in their bikinis. Of course at least one of our girls had to fall in the water and get soaked (Aidan) but it was a really nice time.



We found a little place to eat right by the water and then spent a good 1 1/2 to 2 hours walking around and collecting shells. It was so relaxed and entirely spur-of-the-moment.



This was Ainsley's first real visit. (She went last year but she was a tiny baby then.) Today she went crazy ooohing and aahing and wowing over everything. I tried to put myself into her place and imagine what it would look like for the first time in such a little body.


The only negative thing about it was that the conditions were perfect for a photo shoot and my camera died. I had to breathe for a moment and tell myself to "chill" about the lost opportunity. It was a hard thing to shrug off but I did. :-)



I'm not sure how I can live close to multiple beaches and this is the first day we visited this summer... oops... its fall already.... this year. That shows you how much of a procrastinator I am... LOL...


Oh, did I mention the parking ticket?
