Beach time

We haven't been to the beach in five years, so it is Eli's first time, and Noah hasn't seen the waves since he was 18 months old. Noah loves to get in the water with Mama or Daddy and jump over the waves -- he thinks it is so funny. Eli on the other hand is a little unsure of the water. He thinks the waves coming at him are funny until they splash him in the face. And when the water heads back out to sea and the sand starts moving out from under his feet, Eli thinks the ground is moving and falls down. Eli also loves the sand as long as it is only his hands that are in it. He saw a sand crab crawling around, so he will not sit or stand on the sand. He does, however, love to play in it as long as he has a towel to sit on. In the first picture you can see Eli trying to dust off his own little "safe zone" of towel, the next is Noah and myself enjoying the unseasonably cool morning (being July it's just the right amount of cool).
