Yue Lu's first beach experience

We went to the beach late in the day, around 6:45pm, so it wouldn't be so hot. Yue Lu has been getting pretty hot when I take her to the park, and her 'little' cheeks get all red, even with 70 spf sunscreen on. So, I wanted her first beach experience to be comfortable for her temperature-wise.

When we arrived, Yue Lu said, 'Wow'! We walked down the boardwalk and when we got to the sand Yue Lu was afraid to walk on it. Brad picked her up and we walked down to where the sand was compact, and he put her down. We got right into trying to build sand castles, but Yue Lu has no concept of that, and we couldn't explain it to her. So it was more like dumping buckets of sand, breaking it down, and adding water. After being afraid of the water at first, Yue Lu eventually put her feet in it and squealed with excitement. She also squealed when she saw seagulls. At the end, she started to lose her fears, and walked on the sand and got a little deeper in the water. It's such a joy seeing her reactions and sharing all her new experiences with her.
