The Beach!

I took little Jasey a couple blocks down the road to the beach Monday evening. This is the first summer that he's big enough to actually enjoy it. It was cute to see how he reacted to the water swishing up over his feet! But trying to get him to actually look at the CAMERA was impossible! As you can tell, the sand isn't exactly pristine white (shout out to Florida), but it works! The water level is still really high in the reservoir so there was only a few feet of "beach" area. But it was good enough for Jase!He really enjoyed his little sand bucket that I just got for him. He was scoopin' and shovelin' like crazy. He even dug his hands in and started throwing wet sand (which incidentally got all over mommy's legs).
Going in for another big scoop...
He LOVED sitting on this log next to me. However, at one point a boat with a wakeboarder passed by which caused waves. As you can imagine, a few big waves splashed up the back of the log which resulted in Jase screaming and crying. I couldn't help but laugh.
"And now for my next trick, I shall part the Red Sea! Or brown lake. Whichever."

That video is so cute - if that beach was just a few blocks from my house I WOULD LIVE THERE! How cool is that?? Fun for him, too.

Ok, so I do live in Florida, but I must say that I really miss the beauty and freshness of the mountain lakes and streams. Really. They are so beautiful and non-life-threatening-creature-infested! Looks like a fun little place to go.

I love how the beach can just entertain kids forever. It's like a huge sandbox for them. You should get little trucks and plastic animals for him. How cool that you guys are so close.
