~Back From Vacation~
We have just returned from vacation...well, alright, we've been back for two weeks. Please forgive the delay in the post. I cannot believe how time has flown by. But I digress...
On Finn's first trip to the ocean we were able to experience many new and exciting things for a two year old boy.
1.) Sand all over the face and body is not necessarily that uncomfortable for a youngster...I don't think he even realized it!
2.) The ocean's current is DEFINITELY different then the lake. He wasn't too sure about the way the water was pulling him after breaking on the sand.
3.) Smashing crabs with a mallet is A LOT of fun. Don't worry, they were dead before Finn got his hands on them!
4.) The Boardwalk is fun to stroll around on but he was not having any of the rides! He tricked me not once, but twice into thinking he really, really wanted to ride in the l'ello boat. No such chance. Good news, we were able to get our credits back and Aunt Heathie and I rode a roller coaster. Soon after ascending the first hill....we realized we were not 16 any more =)
5.) He loved chasing Aunt Heathie on the beach when the sun was going down.
6.) It was so fun being silly and renting bikes with Aunt Kat and Uncle Casey. They were really good sports on that tandem.
7.) A sand castle doesn't stand a chance when the little guy you're with just wants to knock everything over and thinks it's hysterical. He's quite clever in that, he would have me make it and take such joy in knocking each tower over.
8.) A beach tent...while good in theory, needs to be totally enclosed for a little guy who is so easily distracted no matter how tired he is. He certainly doesn't take after his mother who could nap any time of the day!
9.) Feeding the sea gulls was surprisingly fun for all!
10.) New vacation experience for all and now a new tradition!!! I grew up going to the shore for close to 30 years with my family. Now, I am overjoyed that I am in the position to share this with my little guy.
