Thea's First Beach Day!

It was so much fun to take our little princess to the beach and introduce her to the wonderful world of water, buckets, shovels, and pebbles...she absolutely LOVED everything about it! 


We went to our favourite 'pebble beach'...it is a small little beach made of little pebbles instead of sand.  We really love going there as it is only 5 minutes from home and we are usually the only ones there...so lovely.  The boys have always loved it because they get to throw stones and practice skipping them... plus they don't have sand stuck in all sorts of places when we leave...lol 


We put Thea at the edge of the water and dug her a little spot for her bottom...she had so much fun sitting there playing.  I love the look of wonder she gets on her face when she is experiencing something new...she is serious for a bit while she takes it all in...and then come the smiles...so amazing and fun to witness! 




 


It was a perfect family outing for us...beautiful weather, very relaxing, and lots of fun.  It felt so great to get out and spend such wonderful quality time together...these are definitely the important things in life!!  :)

Gotta love that tongue!

Love all her smiles and that tongue sticking out! She looks like she has just blossomed, after being home with her family! Love your little beach! We love those kinds of days, too!

Isn't it wonderful experiencing all these firsts! We love the little pebble beach as well, but have yet to take Mary there, I think a field trip is in order. ;)
