First Trip to the Beach

Last Saturday, we decided to take our first trip to the beach as a family. We opted for a late afternoon outing, complete with dinner for the kids and wine for Mommy & Daddy. Daniel was mesmerized by the big, blue ocean. He clearly felt more comfortable watching Madi splash in the waves from afar, and he really didn't leave Daddy's chair much. He wasn't crazy about the sand but did enjoy chasing some birds. Mommy was frantic because the water was so wild. There were rip currents and jellyfish all over. Within minutes, Madi was yards down the shore and I couldn't help myself from letting out a paranoid scream from time to time, even though I know she was in capable, safe hands with Daddy.

When we were leaving, I noticed a sign and said to Jimmy, "See--Saturday--rip currents and jellyfish". Madi adamantly responded, "We better not come on Saturdays anymore, Fridays will be a much better day!" Sorry fans, Mommy forgot to bring the camera along:(
