Beach Baby

Beach days with Avila get more and more fun as the time goes on. This is a picture one year ago today. 7 months old and ready to leave for Hawaii.

Here she is today. 4 days until we leave to visit Uncle Stephen and Auntie Megan in Hawaii again. Ready to play in the sand and splash in the wa-wa as Avila would say.

She LOVES playing in holes in the sand. She found this one while looking for sea shells. I'm not sure what she was pretending the hole was. One minute I thought she was pretending to swim in a pool and another minute she was pretending to sleep in it.

We went to our secret beach today. We were the only ones there for most of the time. I felt like we lived on a deserted island.........well at least until I looked behind me to see the road, cars, and the train in the distance.
