On Saturday we went to Capitola to celebrate my friend Olinda’s birthday and in her words Eat, do a little shopping, Eat, sun bathe, Eat and ummm let’s see… oh yeah… EAT! Hee hee! It was a very very long ride. It took us over two hours and after the first hour Isabelle was DONE with it. She started to whine, fuss, and cry. So as soon as we arrived instead of eating we let her stretch her legs on the beach. Except she didn’t want to stretch her legs.

See, this was the first time Isabelle’s been to a beach. She DID NOT like the sand. She didn’t like how it felt on her feet. She didn’t want to walk on it and didn’t want to be put down. She kept trying to raise her feet away.

That is until Alan dug a hole in the sand and started piling it up.

Now it was fun! She sat there, grabbed Olinda’s hands, putting them into the sand saying come on!

It was so cute. She sat there smooshing her little hands in the sand and throwing handfuls of it over her head, it got everywhere!

We need to bring her to the beach again. But next time a closer one.
