Lane at the Beach

We arrived in Sunset late Monday evening and went straight to Calabash for a shrimp dinner. After dinner, we hoped to make our way to the beach. The weather had other plans. Alright. We just made ourselves cozy in our condo and sent Papa to the market to pick up some essentials for breakfast Tuesday morning.

After breakfast, we went right to the beach. For a few days leading up to our trip, we'd been teaching Lane to say beach - you must put a lot of emphasis on the B and say the entire word a little bit louder than the rest of the sentence.

Like this:

Lane, we are going to the B EACH!

Since we arrived a little late that morning, all the close parking spots were taken. Papa dropped us off at the boardwalk while he went to the park the car.

I wanted all of us to be together when Lane saw the beach for the first time so I made Lane wait. He would look down the boardwalk toward the water every few seconds - when he wasn't reminding each person walking by that they were at the B EACH!

He ran right to the water.


Got in and starting splashing.

Saw the waves.

And went in a little deeper.
