After our Lake Trip to see Scott's family we took a trip to visit my family at Orange Beach, Alabama. I'm a huge fan of the beach. Something about the sounds, the smells, and the serenity of walking along the coast. And then of course the sand castles, riding the waves, and tossing the Frisbee around. It's double the fun when lots of family or friends join in. Lot's of smiles, lots of ideas, lots of games, lots of conversation, and lots of opportunity to get to know each other. I like how we all pile in a couple of condos and learn what it's like to live with each other. Like Scott's family does during the summer and for holidays. There's always the necessity to take your own alone time and here at the beach, there were plenty of places to do that. I hope we can do this or something similar again someday and hopefully arrange it so more family can join in.
A Glimpse into Zachary's World
This was my first trip to the beach. I was 15 months at the time. I wasn't sure what to think of this strange brown and watery place. I discovered that the brown was a very strange substance that felt very funny falling between my fingers. The water was very salty. Not the same as what I drink out of my Sippe cups. After a while I decided it was fun. Paw paw taught me how to build some monster sandcastles. When the sun got too hot I would go swim in the indoor pool with Mommy or Daddy. Sometimes I would go play with Gramsie upstairs. There was a lot of people to play with me and give me snacks. I didn't play too much in the salty water, but I did enjoy having it run over my feet. I might like to try going back to the beach again one day.
