Beach Obsessed

Maya in Ocean City

We try to get Maya down the ocean when we can. Although we've only been able to get there a couple times over the past couple years. But it seems that every time we finally get there, its cold, or raining. This year so far we've only been once the 1st weekend of May. And of course it was cloudy and windy and very chilly on the beach. But Maya was so excited to be there, she didn't care. Luckily she has a good Daddy who was willing to brave the elements with her. She loved running from the waves and putting her toes in the water. She also dug a couple of holes in the sand. She didn't even think twice about the weather. I kept asking her if she was cold & she kept telling me no.

This picture was at the beach a few neighborhoods down from us.

Almost every day the sun is out and shining Maya says, "Can we go to the beach?." She is so in love with the beach, even the small beach right in our neighborhood. The nice thing about our neighborhood beach is that we can ride our bikes to it. So now that it's summertime and warm outside, we have really been taking advantage. Of course Maya loves it.

A few months back, I was at a yard sale down the street from our house and they were selling one of those trailers you hook to your bike for your kids to ride in. It was such a good deal and all it needed was a little cleaning. So I couldn't pass it up. It turned out to be a good investment, because riding our bikes to the beach and hooking Maya up to the back is so much easier for her. Also it has a couple pockets on it, so carrying her beach pale and shovel are easy now too.
