To the Beach and Back

We had the privilege of taking Julianne to the beach for the first time last weekend! The vacationers included Kent, myself, Julianne, my dad, my mom, my sister, 3 aunts, 2 uncles and one cousin. :) Julianne did not like walking in the sand. When we tried to get her to walk in the sand she'd start to cry and say, "Bumped toes! Bumped toes!" She seemed to like standing in the water...until she realized she was standing on sand! We brought an inflatable pool with us and filled it up with buckets of water so she had a great time just hanging out in her pool. It was such a joy to bring Julianne to one of our favorite places. I have to warn you...I got a little carried away with the pictures. SOOOOOOOO I narrowed it down as best I could.

The car rides really weren't too bad aside from traffic and baby poop. Julianne was really patient and spent about 45 minutes just playing with her ball in the back seat. We're definitely bringing a ball in the car more often!

Playing in the sand is not so bad...just standing in it

We had a great trip and look forward to many more beach trips with our little bathing beauty! On Saturday Julianne will turn 2! I can hardly believe its been 2 years...wow. We are so thankful. :)
