We finally made it to the beach! Today was absolutely beautiful and Ben took the day off so we could spend some family time by the ocean. We went for a short bike ride and then spent a couple of hours lounging in the sand. Alison sat quietly and shoveled sand while Ben and I soaked up some sun.
Ben took Alison for a short walk along the water and on the way back was trying encourage her to walk on her own (she's still not a fan of the sand on her feet). He set her down and took a few steps forward to encourage her to walk to him. Then, out of the blue, a soccer ball came flying through the air and whacked her on the head. Through her tears, we had to laugh a little. How ironic is it that the moment we're trying to encourage her, she is pummeled to the ground?!P.S. The insulated bag worked amazing and much better than a cooler...if you're heading out for a day in the sun, I highly recommend it!

Wow, in that second picture, Alison really looks like a little girl and not a baby any more. Poor thing for getting smacked by the soccer ball as she was trying to get used to sand on her feet. My sis hated that too, also grass--yes, this is Amy, the nature freak1
I want to go to a beach! So happy that it was a nice day for you all to go!
