The Beach

We are safely back from Florida, the fridge is re-stocked, and I am sorting through the hundreds of photos I took. This is our first trip to the beach (in Del Ray). We had intended to go to a strawberry patch, but they were closed thus the lack of bathing suits. We headed straight home and in to our beach gear and back to the beach that evening! I took the rest of our beach pictures with a water-proof instant camera (I was scared of getting sand in the good camera). I have to scan those in....

Ella is not a fan of the beach -- it was too "ucky" for her. All that sand just got everywhere. She had fun in the water for a while, but refused to walk in or out on her own because she didn't like the wet sand in her toes. Not much to do when you just sit in someone's arms and bob around. Ella is definitely a pool baby. Unfortunately, grandpa's pool doesn't allow kids in diapers. Apparently no one has heard of swim diapers in his "adult" community. Oh well. Maybe in 3 or 4 years we can go back and enjoy the pool when all the kids are out of diapers. For now, it's the beach for us!

Looks like a beautiful beach! But, what does a strawberry patch and bathing suits have to do with each other? Oh, wait... I just got it. Have to say some of you - Mitch, Sarah - were a little over-dressed for a strawberry patch. Those stains are not easy to get out, you know...

A quick lesson I learned while living in Ludington's fruit area....any BERRY type stains on washable material...JUST POUR BOILING WATER THROUGH THE STAIN AND VOILA!!! It works! I've used it for years.
