We had a great time and if you've been to the beach in September, then you know it is the absolute best time to go! No crowds and just hot enough. The highlight of the trip for me was seeing Cohen's reaction to it all. He was absolutely hilarious! Cohen has apparently been waiting his whole life (the whole year) for the beach. They were made for each other!
Our first morning at the beach I was sitting with Cohen taking pictures of Annie (who is a whole 40 minutes older than Cohen). I was snapping away when Josh, Annie's daddy, said something about Cohen really taking off...
I turned and looked, expecting to see him just a few feet away and this is what I saw!
I know!!! I panicked and ran over to him. I remembered to take a photo before I got too close when I realized he wasn't in any danger. I am still shocked. Kent hated the sand the first time he went to the beach. He hated it so much he stood in a bucket so the sand wouldn't touch him! I'll post that picture later to prove it. Cohen just took off. Not that this should surprise me, he never was much for being still.
Exploring...
I caught Cohen right before a wave splashed right up in his face. Yes, he crawled straight out to the ocean and continued right into the water. He was not surprised or afraid one bit. The sand was very shelly in some areas and crawling through it all never seemed to phase him. He didn't ask to be picked up once.
Cohen was so comfortable with the sand and surf, he took naps out there each day! I even got to read a little, imagine that!
Kent had a great time too! He was all about making sand castles and caking sand all over Cohen who didn't mind one bit.
We had a great time. Now, I am a Gulf gal, but out of all of the Atlantic beach places I have been, I like Amelia Island the best!
Caleb was the EXACT same way the first time we took him to the beach. SO cute...I'll have to show you the pics sometime. But beware...the next year we went he HATED it...and cried every time any grain of sand got on him...it's weird how they change!
ReplyDeleteThat was SO funny! I will never forget him crawling straight INTO the water. While Annie was crying and completely beside herself in the sand! ;)
