On Wednesday we spend the morning at the beach and Caleigh found her fear of the ocean. She was totally fine on Tuesday and when we first got there (at like 8:30 am - gotta beat the bad sun) - and then an hour or so later she was totally freaked out by the waves. And if you would try to coax her into the water she would point toward the beach and say, "Mama, I wanna go that way." And because you love her so much and don't want to hear her scream you quickly oblige.

After the fear set in...

This little man was bear-crawling his way all over the beach.

And after Caleigh played in the sand for a little bit her hands were a little sandy and (we all know how she doesn't like to be dirty) she had to head in to the tent to clean them off with a towel.

This is the only shot of me on the beach at all... and Caleigh's hand is in front of my face... and Andrew is meticulously eating the sand.

But he is so cute.

Let me tell you... all that sand is not easy to clean off of an 11 month old boy.

Mom, it's bright out here.

So I need to do downward-facing dog?

We had a blast on Wednesday at the beach and after naps on Wednesday we went up to Cherry Grove and met the Vaughns who happened to be at the beach the same week as us. They let us (Caleigh) play in the baby pool at their hotel and I wish I had pictures of that because it was the most excited she had been the entire trip. She LOVED it. The Vaughns have 4 awesome kids who stayed with our 2 little kids and babysat them while the grown-ups went out to dinner. It was awesome to have some adult time with such great conversations (and our kids had a blast too) - thanks Vaughns!
