The Beach

I finally talked mommy and daddy into taking me to the beach. It is pretty much right oustide of my door and it looks so nice, but mommy and daddy would not take me until this weekend. A few weeks ago, mommy and daddy bought a huge tent (10' x 10') and daddy decided Saturday morning was the time to set it up. You should have seen him. He had just mowed the grass and decided it was time to go. I got my lobster bathing suit on and it was time to go. Daddy's bathing suit doesn't hang down to his ankles so why does mine? Mommy and Daddy just kept saying how cute it was. They think everything is cute. Mommy grabbed me and the beach bag, filled with beach towels & some water. Daddy grabbed the tent. He first had to unbox the tent. To all you other adults, make sure you are ready to go before you get us kids all excited. Daddy got the tent unboxed and we were on our way. We ran into Pop-Pop on the way and talked to him for a minute. For all of you who do not know, Daddy can sweat if it is 40 degrees, so standing in the sun when it is 90 degrees after dragging a tent for a block is not a good thing. He still had to drag the tent through the sand. We made it to the final destination of the tent and mommy and I went to the water's edge while Daddy worked on getting the tent set up. It couldn't be to hard since it was already put together, or could it? While I was playing in the water, kicking my feet and loving it, daddy was still trying to get the tent set up. Then he decided he had enough and pulled out his cell phone to call Pop-Pop. Here came Pop-Pop to the rescue. They worked on the tent for a few minutes and got it set up. Pop-Pop had to get back to work while we all decided to get under the tent. We sat there until I got fussy, which was about 30 minutes and then it was time for Daddy to take the tent back down. What goes up, must come down and the tent came down much easier than it went up. While we were on the beach, I did pose for some pictures. I can't wait to go back to the beach this weekend with my Nona and Popi--they are coming to visit this weekend.
