Water, Sand, and Sun

Today, my new Miami mom's group hosted a playdate at a local park. In true Miami style, this park had a beach on a clear water lake which has been called "the ideal inland swimming spot." At least that's what it says on the website. To say that Noah loved our outing today would be the understatement of the century.

The excitement. The joy.

He couldn't get to the water fast enough!

Seriously, no fear! You would think he knew how to swim. He just walked right in.

More often than not, he would take a nose dive. Lake water was definitely swallowed on this outing. Not to mention, the two handfuls of sand that I wasn't quick enough to catch.

See his little fist held out in front. It is shaking furiously in excitement. He was having so much fun, he just couldn't hold it in. And, of course, there was shouting to accompany the fist shaking. Lots of shouting.

We had a fun day today. Lots of sand. Everywhere. My prep for this trip was a vast improvement over our last beach outing, but there is plenty of room for improvement. Going to the beach with a baby is totally different than going to the beach solo. I am definitely going to have to get better at packing a beach bag.
