Beach Day

On Tuesday of our Week of Fun, Willa and I went to the beach with my dad.  We had a classic day of sandcastles, wave walking, sea shell scavenging, and sandy toes.  We also had a bonus trip to the Sugar Sand Festival, where the theme was "Under the Sea."  Artists from all over came to sculpt incredible works of art in the sand.  My favorite was Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

The funniest moment was when Willa and I were walking knee deep in the Gulf and she said, "Oh, I LOVE the water, especially with you, Mama!," then a big wave splashed up in her face, leaving her sputtering and saying "I think I'm done now!"  So funny!  I was also very impressed by how brave she was, not a tear in sight :).  I think Willa said it best with, "I love the beach!"
