Easter at the Beach

Every year for Easter Bryan and I go to the beach with friends from church. We go down around Grayton beach. We usually stay in Seagrove or Seacrest beach. We had a blast. Mary Paul loved, loved, loved the beach (she is our child). I thought she would like to play in the sand and maybe be a little afraid of the water. She loved the ocean this summer, but being older I thought she might all of a sudden be afraid. Not the case. We had to watch her like a hawk because she would take off for the water. Even when she fell face first into the waves, she got back up and ran straight into the water. She would cry if she saw the beach and couldn't go down to it to play. When we left she said, "Bye-bye beach." We had a great house right on the beach and had a wonderful time with our friends. We were able to have dinner with Bryan's grandmother and Joe. The weather was wonderful, 75 and sunny everyday!!! Bryan was able to have a lot of playtime in the waves. We can't wait to go back next year!!!

Love the first picture. She looks so big!!! Glad that you all had a great time again this year. I am very suprised that Mary Paul wasn't at least a little scared of the water! I can't even imagine what that gigantic ocean must seem like to such a little human being!!! Love to you all!

That first pic looked so 1930's. I loved it. How fun that she loved playing and swimming in the water, that will be fun for your family as she grows. Where are pics of you??? Well, can't wait to see you.

Beautiful pictures (as usual). That reminds me of Reagan at that age. She was fearless of the ocean. Can be scary.
