At the beach

We spent Sunday afternoon at the beach. It was a little windy, but when the sun was out it was nice and warm. The last time that Dominic was at the beach, he was 9 months old and crawling. What a difference this time. He no longer tried to eat the sand, but instead shoveled it into his bucket while making sand castles with Grandpa. This time, he got to run around visiting all the people, saying hello and flashing a smile as we tried to avoid trambling their blankets. The water was a bit chilly, so Dominic didn't really want to splash around in it, but he certainly liked having Grandma or Grandpa hold him so he could watch the waves and boats and listen the great noises of the ocean.
