Beach or Bust

This past weekend we ventured to Destin, Florida to visit my grandparents and spend some time on the beach. Traveling with an almost 3-year old went more smoothly than I expected, and she had a great time. The weather wasn’t ideal most of the time we were there, but we still made the best of it. There was a heated pool that Billy and Audrey swam in daily, and even though the ocean water was cold, walking on the beach is always a good time. Audrey would run up to the waves and then rush away once they got close to her toes. She was also fascinated by the birds, but they always flew away when she tried to get close. Billy liked showing Audrey how to make sand castles, and Audrey liked destroying them. We also found some seashells, slid down a sand cliff and buried our feet in the sand.

The most peculiar activity Audrey picked up on was her Sand Babies. She would pick up a handful of sand, hold it out, and pat it. Then, she’d rock it and sing to it like it was a baby…a Sand Baby. After watching her slide down the sand cliff, I am pretty sure she was the real sand baby.
