Seashells on the seashore

The weekend before last we went to Sebastian, Fl to visit my in-laws who were spending a week in the sunshine. The condo we stayed in included the use of a 15 foot motorboat so on Saturday we cruised out to a little island in the Indian River and did a little exploring. Upon landing, Kaia immediately started trying to jump out of my arms to get on the sand. We’ve always made it a point to put her in the sand on vacations for the sensory input. She never really seemed to care one way or the other about it but this time she really loved it. Here is a little photo-essay of our weekend.

I think Kaia could've played like this in the sand for hours...




Nope, do not adjust your screen, that is not Hank Williams Jr. That's my handsome husband sporting a beard and all I can say is, quite a hat.

This is my favorite. Yep, she's really squatting on her own. The beach was composed of literally whole shells that would just crush into sand beneath your feet. Kaia couldn't get enough of just scooping them up and letting them cascade through her fingers.

Man, she loves the water

Ugh; returning to Indiana
