I am still working my way through our pictures from Ireland. I don’t know if I will ever catch up on all the editing I need to do!
The last time Annika visited a beach she was only a couple of months old and we went to the one of my favorite rocky beaches near my parents house. I was surprised then that the waves and freezing cold water didn’t even seem to phase her. This was not the case this time around. The sun was shining and the water was warmer, but Annika refused to get anywhere near it. She cried and clung to our necks when we tried to take her into the gently rolling surf. She has quite a few new fears lately, and I guess waves are one of them. She did, however, love the sand. She ate it and threw it and picked rocks out of it. We buried her up to her waist and she loved it. I was really hoping my daughter would love the ocean as much as I do, but for now, I guess I will have to settle for sand. Someday she will learn to appreciate the sea – waves and all.
