We made our first trip to the beach yesterday! We went down to Folly Beach, where the locals go. Both the kids said they had a really good time. You could tell Grace did. That girl would have lived in the water. She loved getting smacked by the waves! I told her it was her first trip to the beach, then realized that wasn't true. She went to the beach in Italy, but hated it! My how times have changed. Grace is a water baby, for sure.
Davis reacted to the water the way we figured he would: with fear. Before he could figure out what was going on, we walked down to the water. He was fine until it came rushing up to his toes, then that was it. He wanted no more. There were only two other times he went down to the water. Once was when Jasen was returning the snail he and Grace found, the other was when Jasen was holding and distracting him. Even then, the water only touched Jasen's toes. Hopefully, Davis will get better. He did enjoy digging in the dirt and made a small-ish sand castle with his dad.
Jasen and I had fun, too, but got ourselves sufficiently burned. We're so dumb. Jasen didn't put any sunscreen on, I put on only a little. So we have burned legs, backs, and arms. Oh well. Guess we'll be getting moles/freckles checked here very soon.
I think Jasen and the kids are now officially bored in the house with no stuff. They went to get me some Krispy Kremes this morning! We have a store only about 6 miles away. Woohoo!
