Florida Fun Day 2- Beach Baby!

We woke up Sunday morning and decided to take a walk on the beach. We could not wait to get our toes in the sand and see Brinley's reaction to the ocean!

Not so sure about it, but still sizing things up. It's really loud!.
"Heck no, I'm not putting my feet in that grimy sand!"

Maybe Mommy can make it better...not so much.
Up in Daddy's or Mommy's arms is a much better place to be.

All the excitement wore Brinley out and she had a nice nap on our bed. I loved the fact that we were staying right on the beach so we could go back and forth for naps and meals.

After an hour we woke her up because we couldn't wait to get in the water! We were like kids on Christmas morning! Brinley was just excited to be sitting in her beloved stroller.
We sported our matching white coverups. Thanks Mimi!
We started out with lunch and some playing under the beach umbrella. Things were looking good.

Then we inched her out a little more towards the water. She was definitely more accepting of it this time around. She just didn't want any of those scary waves touching her!
This sand isn't so bad after all!

Sandy hands + teething baby who wants to chew on fingers = one unhappy little girl!

Crying baby with sandy hands + rubbing eyes= one extremely unhappy little girl!
But still easily distracted by some toys and falling sand...cool!
Rocky went to brave the waves. I think he and I each made one trip out into the actual ocean the entire time we were there. It's just a different world with a baby!

After the sand meltdown, we decided to make our way back to the comfort of the umbrella and our beloved stroller.

After our beach excursion we headed to the pool...but that's another post!
