Miss Veedol Beach

On the way home from errands yesterday I decided to keep going past my house and check out Miss Veedol beach with Clara. The sun was out and it was a beautiful day.

The sand was still mostly wet from the previous three days of rain we've had, which was good becuase hte wind was blowing pretty hard. It the sand hadn't been wet it would have been a teririrble sand storm. As it was, any loose sand just blew along the ground making some really cool shapes.

She wasnn't really sure what to think of the sand terrain. She kept wanting up then down then up then down. She keept pointing to the birds off in the distance and signing "bird" (or, to the untrained eye, Milk : )

On the way back to the car I found a little patch of semi dry sand in the grass so I put her down and started drawing in it with a stick. She bent down and patted the sand then looked at her hand and looked and me and got a semi-panicked look on her face.

I wiped her hand on my leg then wiped off my leg with my own sleeve. She put her hand in the sand again and then put her hand on my leg. Then she grabbed my hand and put it where she wiped--I guess reminding me that I was suppossed to wipe my leg off now.

I probably can't take credit for that one though--Grandpa Greg taught her to wipe her hands on pant legs while in Maryland. But it was still pretty cute, especially coupled with her grin.

She ended up sitting down and playing in thesand for a bit and really liked it. Hopefully we'll be able to take more trips there this spring/summer when its not so windy.
