First Trip to the Beach

Quite a few months ago, we planned a family vacation to Corpus Christi. It was Alexa's first trip to the beach, so we knew there was much fun to be had playing with the waves and sand. We have been to a swimming pool, and in the twins' pool, and to Great Wolf Lodge, so we knew she was a water baby.


In this picture, she is surveying the beach at sunrise, with a storm in the distance.











In this picture, she had that moment that everyone has at the beach. What's that thing in the sand, and is it dead? Turns out it was just seaweed, but at first it looked like a sand scorpion, or some such.















These are my two ladies, enjoying the waves together.















Feels good to stomp through the shallow stuff.
















Sand is such a neat thing, fun to play with as a kid. That's one of the neat things about raising a kid, in my opinion; you get reminded of the feeling of discovering new and magical things.






























We also went to the aquarium. This was cool in many ways. We got there and as it turned out, the dolphin show was starting in 6 minutes, to our surprise and delight. They did not disappoint. Lexi was amazed and entertaining at the same time.
