The BEACH!

In front of a little, tiny cave at the beach.

Matt stared at the waves for a long time. He was amazed!

I love the beach! It calms me down when I see the blue ocean without end.

There were lots of small caves by the beach. A lot of people were going into them and we did too thinking that we'd see some amazing caves. They were disappointing of course, but not too bad.

There were about 500 steps down to the beach. Going down wasn't really the problem, it was going up that caused us short breathed! Matt seemed to be having a hard time as well, haha.


Look at Sean's mouth. He looks like he's seen something horrible or something. Was it me that scared him?

Matt had never been to the beach before (well, we went by the beach once before to take some family photos, but we never walked along the beach with Matt), so we took him to the beach. I think he was shocked to see such a giant bathtub. He kept staring at the beach. When the waves came hit our feet, I tried to lower Matt's body so that he could feel the water on his feet but he got scared and he screamed a little bit. So we knew that he wasn't ready for the ocean water yet. We walked along the beach on barefoot and the next day, our legs were so sore!! Well, never walk on the sand on barefoot if you don't like the sore feeling. Sean and I love to walk on the sand though so the soreness didn't really bother us. We saw some little kids who were playing in the water with their parents, some were butt naked -which was rather a disturbing image-, some were wearing bikinis -why would you ever dress your babies in bikinis anyway?- but most of them seemed to be having fun. We can't wait until Matt is a little older so we can all have fun in the water someday. (Well, actually, I could wait a little longer until Matt can walk and all that.. although chasing after him could be a good exercise.)
