Beach Part 2

After lunch, a few pee breaks, and a vomit clean up, we finally made it to the beach.  Avery was very excited to go in the water, holding Grammie's hand of course.  She insisted on taking off her shirt (like the 3 little boys that were playing a few yards away).  This was the farthest she walked in the water during the whole trip, she even sat down.  The next day she told me "the waves gonna get me", not sure what changed her mind, but when her mind is made up, it's hard to change.

We loaded up with everything needed to survive for a week on the beach and headed out. Luckily, we were on the second row and right in front of the beach access point just in case we forgot anything.

This time Avery was very content to sit watch the waves come in.... I wonder what she is thinking.

She eventually got out of the chair and tested the sand a bit.  Her favorite part was destroying the castles that aunt Stephy built.

Avery discovered a new love at the beach -- shucking corn!  She pulled those husks like it was her job and would yell "next!" each time she finished one.

There was a small park on the other side of the marsh that we visited one evening.  Avery went up and down the slide all by herself about 50 times.  There were some older girls running around and Avery fell right in line with them, running to the stairs and calling out "be careful" as they climbed up.
