Since we are finally thawing out from the winter (albeit a mild one), we recently packed up and headed to the beach. We had not been in quite sometime, especially since we just had our house on the market and felt we needed to stay close to home for weekend showings. With our house sold and the beautiful weather, it was the perfect combination for beach visiting.
We were interested to see Sydney's reaction to being on the beach because the last time she was there, she wasn't mobile yet and was only about 10 months old. Lucky for us, she is definitely a beach baby! She dug in the sand, was mesmerized watching kids riding on boogie boards and flying kites, and even enjoyed putting her feet in the (chilly) water. I'm looking forward to when it's even warmer to wade farther into the water with her.

While there, we also took a trip to the aquarium. We have been before, but this time Sydney was the most interested she has been. At each animal exhibit, she would point and name the animals she knew and actually looked at them longer than she has. I absolutely love watching take in the fish, turtles, alligators, and crabs- all animals we look at in books and talk about but that are much more exciting to see in person. There is nothing like watching a child gaze in amazement at things we have seen so many times. We will definitely visit the aquarium more this summer!
