Sock-wearing sand haters unite!

Danni didn't care for the sand at first either!

I didn't appreciate getting my shoes and socks sandy (and wet - a wave got me!)

Sand from the comfort of the beach blanket is fun!

We dug it! 

Watching the sunset...

The beach makes me thoughtful!

I got in a big hole! 

Danni found a mussel shell!

First bonfire... and first time roasting marshmallows!

I didn't like it when my marshmallow caught on fire!

Skeptical ....

I made 2 more after this one!  YUM!

Danni liked s'mores too!

Mommy's lucky that this sticky baby wouldn't kiss her!  ;)

"The beach is bad!" That's what I said ALLLLL day, before heading out to Bolsa Chica with the fam.  Despite my complaints, we went anyways.  At first, I hated it.  I don't like sand on my toes ... so I would only walk on my own if I wore socks and shoes.  Then a wave got me.  :P  I warmed up to the beach a little bit when we got further on the shore and I could hang out on the beach blanket.  Danni and I had fun digging holes, filling up buckets, and finding shells.  Amazingly enough, I forgot about the sand and actually enjoyed myself!!  The best part of the trip was when it got dark.  I helped build a HUGE fire... and then I learned how to roast marshmallows and made my first s'more!  I hope, hope, hope to do it all again!  :)
