Last Saturday we went to the beach with our friends! It was sooooo fun! When we first arrived Sadie would not let me put her down. I tried to but she put her feet out so they wouldn't touch the ground as she struggled to attach to me like a monkey. In the process her feet and hands got a little sandy. She whined, "Mommy, I dirty, I dirty." She sat in her beach chair for a little while. Then when the other kids started to play with the sand buckets she got interested. She let me move her to the towel on the ground. From there she worked her way to the sand pails. She had a cautious start with the beach but it wasn't long before she was LOVING it! Eliza loved it!
The weather was perfect. It was around 85 degrees. It was not too hot but it was warm enough for the water to still be comfortable. It was great! Eliza threw a tantrum when we left. Back at the car she screamed because I tried to take her swim suit off and she wanted to go back to the beach. Hey, at least she had a great time. Virginia Beach is near a military base. We enjoyed seeing lots of military planes showing off cool stuff in the sky. A pirate ship showed up. We had great company too!
Afterwards we cleaned up at our friend's parent's home. Then we had dinner at Red Lobster...Endless Shrimp! Yummy!! It was a super day! Thanks, Nikki and Ray for inviting us. Thanks to Melissa for showing Eliza all the "stuff at the beach" and for sharing your beach toys! Yesterday I asked Sadie if she liked the beach, the ocean and the sand. She responded, "I liked the sand buckets." :)
Did I mention we had an AWESOME time?

The beach is fun!
The beach is fun. I grew up a few feet from the sea [the waves used to hit our fence during the high tides]. And Virginia Beach is fun too. There I used to go for a nice steak at "The Grate Steak" [in that place YOU are the cook]. Have a fine East Coast Day!

We had SOOOO much fun with your family! When the video was over both of my girls clapped and clapped! We have a new favorite video! Thanks again for going with us. We need to go "out and about" more often!
I am so glad you had an awesome day! I wish we could have gone with you all! You got some great footage! You saved the best for last... Eliza chasing the birds away!
The girls look like they're having a blast!! They are so cute.
Glad you enjoyed the beach!
How fun to have those firsts to remember.
I was with my second younger brother the first time he saw the Ocean and the beach. He was 17, I think. We lived in Florida. The only thing that I could think about was how I wished it was San Diego that we were sharing with him.
I'm glad you enjoyed it more than MD. I've never been to a beach north of South Carolina, and the public access here is very limited. Its just not the same.
We didn't get to the beach this year and we live about 40 minutes away. Maybe I can work that out before it gets too cold.
It must have been great to be out there during that air show that I saw on the news. I miss those air shows from home.
Did you know that David borrowed (stole) your photo montage?
