Beach Lovin' Boy

Dylan and his cousin Kaelyn enjoying Saint Augustine Beach. Dylan did find that he loves the sand even eating it - ugh can't you just feel the grit in between your teeth when I write that. Ah the ignorant bliss of being a child



Near the pier at St Augustine Beach their is a fountain park. An area for the children to play where there are fountains in all sizes and spray out at different angles. We found one just Dylan's size Family Picnic at Palm Coast. I wanted to do a picnic at the beach before we left for Japan. My dear parents and younger sister humored me:) We had a wonderful picnic thanks mom. Dylan LOVES every aspect of the beach - sand, sun and surf. His Aunt Jo and I took him down to the sand where he played then we decided to head to the water. Dylan was not scared in the least. He held my hand as well as Aunt Jo's as we walked right down to the waterline. We stood their letting the water swirling around our feet and Dylan's knees. He loved it! He bent over splashing in the water for a bit then plop in he went. He did look up with surprise at this new sensation, but since we were all smiles he was still good to go.
Due to the timing Dylan got his bath outside at the beach (it was at the Palm Coast building so it was private). This way he was ready for bed when we arrived home. At first the water from the hose was a little too chilly and he wasn't sure what to think. Buy after that initial what is going on look he had more fun. Check it out:)






I didn't want to title this blog Beach Boy, but Dylan sure does love the beach. Come to find out he likes the Beach Boys as well. Here in Japan in our little apartment which will one day be decorated like our beach vacation apartment, we have been dancing to the beach boys. It is awesome! I put on some Beach music to help lighten the dreary rainy days and little man starts to groove! Some of his favorites are "Little Deuce Coupe", "Barbara Ann", "Good Vibrations" and "Sloop John B" He sure has more rhythm than his ole mama but that isn't saying much - hee hee
