Erin meets the Gulf

We took Erin to the beach to experience the ocean/gulf for the first time. We weren't quite sure what to expect.

"Okay, Mom, I'm ready now, but what the heck is on my head!"

"Are you sure we should be going out there?"
"Okay, this isn't too bad......""Let's get off this towel!"
"Ah, now this is how one plays in the sand. "

"Why do my tub toys taste different?"
"Let me grab that over there...."

Todd brings Erin closer to the water.

And then he put her down. Yeah, that didn't go so well.

As soon as the water washed over her hands and onto her legs, she just started wailing. We tried to get her to play on the beach some more after that, she she wasn't having it. We had to just pack up, head back, hose her off and bring her in the pool. Then, all was well again.
