Beach Pictures

This is way bigger than the bathtub! Jack made his first trip to the beach at the end of the summer. It was loads of fun to watch him try and understand exactly what was going on. At first we put him down in the sand and he immediately started to crawl away from the ocean. It was as if a survival instinct kicked in and he knew that it was safer on land. Forget footprints in the sand, Jack tracks consisted of handprints and a seaturtle like track from crawling. After a few trips up the beach he settled down to play in the sand under the umbrella. Eventually he did notice the ocean and decided immediately that it was for him. We couldn't keep him away from it. He really enjoyed crawling around in the waves but it was exhausting for dad. I would wait until right before the wave came in and lift him up so the water splashed his legs and not in his mouth. Jimmy Buffett would be proud. - John
