Nothing New Under the Sun

Digging In

Arriving in Quonnie in time for the record temperatures, Kathleen tried to beat the heat on Central Beach. Her cousin Amanda supplied her with the cute sunsuit so that she wouldn't burn. (Too bad those don't come in Mommy's size!) Between the sunsuit and a gallon or two of sunscreen, Kathleen was set for hours of fun in the sun, sand, and surf.

Kathleen loved the sand. She'd fill her little fists with it and roll around in it. (She only ate a little, I think.) She was delighted with a bucket of sand and water. She not only enjoyed splashing around, she also used it to try to stand. Amanda shared lots of fun beach toys, which was great. Kathleen also enjoyed the surf. She seemed a little surprised that the water was cold, but she liked to stand with Mommy as the waves came in.

Kathleen's summer days on the beach were just what Mommy remembered from being little. I guess it's true: there's nothing new under the sun!
