Florida Vacation (post 2): A Day at the Beach

October 24, 2012

GranDeb is about an hour away from the beach so we had to take advantage and take the kids. It was their first time seeing the ocean and they had mixed reactions.

Gabby loved it! She was so excited and danced to, in and around the water. She would have been all the way out in the big waves if we had let her. Peter was impressed with the waves at first and said “cool” but when it came to actually putting his feet in the water he said no way. He didn’t like the way the water pulled the sand out from under his feet and made him feel like it was going to pull him out too. But he loved playing in the sand and had fun digging and building.

Michael of course loved the ocean too and had to get out in the big waves and play. As for me…I’m with Peter! I have some phobia issues with the ocean. I tried doing a little wadding, literally just up to my ankles, maybe calves and then something touched my foot and I was done. I just can’t handle not being able to see what I’m walking in. I guess no romantic walks on the beach for this girl. :)

Nope, can’t do it Dad.

Just a Daddy-Gabby thing.

”I wanna go back to GranDeb’s.”
