Sand! Ocean! Water ice! Cats & Dogs! Oh my!

With a hot day expected, we headed to the beach early, at 9:30 am! Luckily, we had several umbrellas to keep Alexa shaded!


Cousin Samantha and Aunt Missy were in town for a visit and had fun playing with Alexa, who especially liked playing with her bath cups, a bottle of sunscreen and Aunt Missy's hat! 


Unlike our last visit, Alexa didn't shy away from the sand. In fact, she got plenty dirty and proceeded to get sand everywhere! And unlike our last visit, when the ocean waves upset her, this time she LOVED the ocean! The cold water shocked her at first, but then she was all smiles as she sat on my lap waiting for the waves. No pictures of the ocean, unfortunately, since I was busy playing with Alexa!

After a brief nap in my arms, we headed to Brown's for lunch, followed by some water ice! Alexa LOVED the water ice! She'll be a beach babe in no time...


After washing off all the sand, Alexa joined us for a wine and cheese happy hour. Well, not so much the wine and cheese. But she sure enjoyed the Ritz crackers! She also enjoyed Vicky the dog... When we first arrived, she started crying when the dog came over. But she eventually got over her fear and in fact started crawling after (chasing) the cat and reaching out to touch the dog! What a weekend of firsts for Alexa!
