The Beach, Finally



We finally made it to the beach today for a great beach day. We headed out as soon as we woke and drove over to York Beach to meet up with friends Erin and Mike and their son, Ryan. Riley has not been a fan of the beach, pools, or getting into her bathing suit so far this summer, so we weren't sure if the almost 2 hour drive would be a waste of not. In fact, when I went to put Riley's suit in the beach bag this morning and she saw it she started to cry and run away. She was a little worried about the sand when we put her on it once we arrived and whimpered, but eventually calmed down and was a mess by the time we left. I never did put her suit on her; instead, she wore an SPF t-shirt and swim bottoms. Ryan and Mike found a few snails and a starfish nearby and brought them back to our spot. Riley thought they were pretty cool to look at (though she did try to put a snail in her mouth!)
