My First REAL Beach Trip

Although we went to the beach almost a year ago to the day, I believe I spent most of the time in the tent, so this was my first real beach experience. And boy did I enjoy myself - after I finally got my nap of course. Sleeping at the beach is not the easiest thing to achieve; there are way too many sounds and sights to miss if you fall asleep. But, after much coaxing in the tent, on towels, Daddy's belly and after doing the backwards inchworm over and over, I finally fell asleep on the beach chair with Mommy. Once I got some rest, I enjoyed exploring the edge of the ocean. The waves are loud! I was timid at first, but after I got used to it I sort of liked chasing the water into the ocean. At one point I saw a lady laying on a towel and decided to go say hello. Just as I was about to climb on her, Mommy grabbed me away. Other onlookers were chuckling at the ordeal, but I don't understand why. I was just being curious.
Cora and I had fun dancing, running, holding hands and playing by the water the rest of the day. When we first got to the beach I tried eating some sand, but thankfully for Mommy and Daddy's sake I didn't find it very tasty, so I decided not to eat any more sand. I had a great day at the beach and can't wait until we can go back again! This was my first time to the Outer Banks and it was really nice!
