On the Sunday of Valentine's Weekend, our family decided to take an afternoon drive to the coast. We are lucky to live just an hours drive or so away, it was a lovely day and we needed to get out of the house. We arrived an hour or so before sunset, bundled ourselves up in warm coats (it is February after all) and headed straight for the beach.I love walking on the sand and watching the waves crash and it's even more wonderful seeing it through the curiosity of Amelia's eyes. At first she was a little unsteady walking on the sand but soon got the hang of it, she loved to see the kites being flown too.
I took tons of photo's to capture these special moments, like Amelia's first pebble throw, and since I liked them all, here are more photo's than you probably care to see.
"This sand stuff is not the easiest thing to walk on"
"I'll just hide behind daddy to keep out of the wind"
"Oooo, pebbles" 
Daddy and Amelia looking at "D River" the shortest river in the world. It flows right into the ocean. We had to watch Amelia like a hawk, she just loved getting right to the edge of the water, and I believe if we weren't there, may have just kept going.
"Okay, I'm off daddy"
"Now, what shall I do with my pebble?"
"Hmm, it's salty"
"I know, I'll skim it across the river, like the other big kids were doing"
Daddy helped Amelia and showed her how to do it.
"This pebble is huge!"
"Maybe I'll take this one home as a souvenir"
And that was that. We dragged her kicking and screaming back to the car.
Parents are just no fun.

Amelia is growing into such a big girl. We love our beach trips too -- aren't we lucky to live so close?

I remember last time we were there with Amelia, we had to pack her around. And we tried to keep her warm. Now, she is just running all around with a mind of her own. Let's hit the "stop button" for awhile. She is growing up too fast!
