We finally made it to the beach today to cap off a wonderful Memorial Day weekend with the family. Since mom hasn't been feeling great, we decided to head out later in the day just to give everyone enough time to rest up. It was a good plan since Elisa enjoyed her morning out shopping with her grandpa, aunt and cousin and we still had time for a long nap and bite of lunch at home. Then we hit the waves at Onslow Beach on base at Camp Lejeune and it seemed that the crowds were mostly leaving as we pulled in this afternoon. Elisa still has no fear of the ocean and would charge right out there in the waves if she wasn't restrained. It's crazy to watch her complete fearlessness. Please, child, have SOME fear. I swear. Was I like this? Was Nacho? I wish I knew. But then again, I'm pretty sure Elisa is cut from a different cloth all together. She giggles and shrieks while kicking up water and seems to like the sand in her toes as much as her mama. I can't wait til she's even bigger and can really frolic in the water. It's going to be so much fun. We didn't get in and swim with her today but we had a nice time just getting our feet wet. Hopefully the next beach time we can splash around with Papa. We missed him (and the extra set of hands) today.
