Have you ever been to the beach with children? If you have, then you know how much more fun it can be seeing everything through their eyes, especially if this is their first time. We had the good fortune of spending a week at the beach with our good friends the Houchins and their three daughters: Ella, Caroline and Morgan. Ella and Caroline are almost three and Morgan is almost one. It was fun to watch them react to the sand, the water and the waves.
Caroline turned out to be the daredevil of the three. She loved playing in the waves and enjoyed going out into the deeper water with her mom, Denise.
Ella was a little more unsure of the water and preferred playing in the sand, building castles and digging big holes. She was content to watch everyone else go into the water.
Morgan had to be watched like a hawk. She would crawl right into the water and had no problems sitting in the surf with her Aunt Betsy, even when the big waves would come. She was a trooper.
Playing at the beach with children made our vacation much more memorable this year. I cannot wait until next year to see what fun we will have then!
