Beach babes

This past week one of my friends called me up and asked if we would be up to going to the beach. It was a hard decision, I was already planning on cleaning the apartment. Who cares about the apartment! We totally decided to go to the beach!

It was a pretty nice day, but the wind made it feel cooler. Why does it always have to be windy at the beach? Here is Ava longing to go into the water. You can't tell from the picture, but her little friend that came with us is playing in the ocean...Ava's a little envious!


Ava absolutely loved the ocean. We were in a little inlet off of the ocean, so the waves were a lot calmer. So Ava had a blast walking in the waves. She kept squealing with delight and wanting to walk further and further out. The water wasn't actually that cold. Which I'm not used to coming from the Pacific Northwest, where you don't ever go into the ocean!


Here are the girls having a blast playing in the sand. Of course Ava couldn't help herself from trying to eat everything within her reach. Including sand, sticks and even using a shovel to suck up ocean water. This girl keeps me on my toes!


Ava, aka the sand baby! For those who need a quick tip of how to get sand off, use baby powder. Works like a charm and then it makes your baby smell oh so good.


Ava's new favorite trick. This child is going to need a good scrubbing once we get home!


Aren't they adorable?!!! They play so well together. We had so much fun spending the day at the beach. I would choose it over cleaning the apartment anyday! We totally need to go again...soon.
