ONE Day at the Beach

Well we made it to the beach! It certainly warmed up, but by the water it was still rather cool.



Kate IMMEDIATELY headed to the water. I didn't even have time to get situated, since she started crawling right into the surf! I wasn't sure how she would react to the water, but I didn't expect to be running after her! Luckily we brought her booster seat that has straps, so after some play time I strapped her down so she could stay put (and eat her lunch)!

After the beach we went home, everyone washed up...

and had a VERY long afternoon nap!

We decided to go out for dinner at our favorite Italian place here...Maria's. We then ended the evening with a long stroll down the harbor towards the lighthouse.

Ethan loves the beach! We do, too :) It's too bad that the weather is so cool! This is such a far cry from our vacation last year (scroll through my blog entries for August 2008) which had some good, hot days for swimming. We're just glad that we didn't book the entire week this year.

More tomorrow...
