\nThese pictures are from Sadie’s very first trip to the beach last year! It was cold that day, so I Sadie and I didn’t go into the ocean at all, but we still had a blast in the sand. When we first got there I stepped onto the beach\u00a0but Sadie hesitated on the boardwalk. She was looking back and forth from me to the sand, as if asking “Really? I’m supposed to walk on this stuff? It’s ok for me to do that?” Once she stepped onto the sand she got used to it pretty quickly and followed me down toward the water. The motion and sound of the waves seemed\u00a0a little scary for her, but unfortunately it was way too cold to go in and show her the ocean isn’t so scary (that is on our to-do list for this summer \ud83d\ude42 ). Once Sadie was back on the dry sand and away from the waves, she really got excited about digging around in the sand. I was really amused watching her with this activity, because so far the only other holes Sadie has dug in her life are the imaginary holes she sometimes ‘digs’ in the bed or the couch to bury a treat in. Not long after the wind really picked up and forced Sadie and I to cut our beach adventure short. Hopefully this summer Sadie and I will find a warm, sunny day to spend some time at the ocean.<\/p>\n
