Charlie's First Trip to the Beach

Ok, I promise this will be my last "charlie" post for a while. But she's so cute. Now it's harder to take pictures of her without it looking like a big blur. Anyway, Lily and I took Charlie to the beach for the first time this week. It's kind of special that I was able to take Charlie to Sullivan's for her first beach experience. Because I also took Lily to Sullivan's for her first beach trip nearly 10 years ago. They both had the same reaction: total joy. Just walking the boardwalk to the beach Lily would run ahead and then turn around and wait for Charlie to catch up and then run ahead again as if she were saying, "ohboyohboyohboy come on come on catch up little one it's the BEACH!  . . . ball . . . let's go let's go to the beach!" They hit the sand running and rolling and digging. Charlie balked at the water but desperately wanted to go after Lily but decided to save it for another day. She wore herself out, so much so that I had to carry her home.







I took this video a week or so later. Charlie loves the water and desperately wants to follow Lily into the deep water but is still a little unsure.
