Julia really loved the beach. She was trying to figure out the sand. She would grab handfulls of it and let it run through her fingers. She only tried to eat it once before she learned that lesson. Even when we got back home she was playing in the dirt trying to figure out why it was not like the sand on the beach. I think maybe she needs a sandbox to play in. She also loved the water. The first day she did not stick more than her feet in, but by the end of the week she was running into the water, not wanting us to hold on to her with the water splashing over her head and on her face. She did not care, she loved it!! I was terrified she was going to drown. Next year we will have to make sure to bring floaties or a water vest so she can actually swim in it without us holding her.
She also saw a lot of doggies at the beach. To her they were all "kitties"! LOL Well, until one would bark, then she would scream......
Julia did really well for having her schedule all messed up. She was up early, in bed late, naps were at all different times, and she did really well through it all. The first night she was up a couple of times because she woke up and did not know where she was and got scared. But after the first night or two, she did just fine. Although, she HAD to be cramped in that playpen. The owners of the house said they had a Pack 'n Play there for us to use, so I did not bring ours. Apparently, they make "travel sized" Pack 'n Play's that are only half the size of a regular playpen. Poor Julia could not stretch out all the way in it. She was even more cramped in it because I brought along her pillow and the toys that live in her crib to put in it so it would seem more like her crib. With all that stuff in it, there was hardly any room for her to sleep!
We shopped and played and fished and ate out and relaxed and just generally had a great time. Julia really made out. She got all kinds of new clothes and new Crocs AND there was an AWESOME toy store in town. It carried the neat toys, a lot of them wooden, not all the cheap plastic stuff. So Julia also got a lot of new toys. AND some new books from the book store. Told you she made out!! I did get a few new clothes and one new necklace.
Julia DEFINATELY has her daddy's complexion. We tried to be careful and make sure she always had suncreen on, so she never burned, but she did get a nice tan. I, on the other hand, got sunburned on 3 seperate occasions, despite the SPF 45 I had on! Sigh....
Okay, here are the pictures. I will probably have to divide them into several posts, I can only post a couple in each post.
