We were dreaming last year at the beach of the little one growing inside me. We were all wondering what it would be like with a baby. Now we know! She was really a good sport, as always! At first she did not like the sand or the water at all. The first couple of days the water was cold and it was hot on the beach. 
After a few days it cooled off on the beach and the water warmed up a bit, which made it perfect! Juliet liked her crab raft and had a great time floating on the waves. The yellow flags were out, but further out the waves weren't crashing. She loved it and she actually fell asleep out there!! 
With a baby our schedule was different; we were not on the beach from sunup to sundown. We slept in late and if we didn't make it to the beach before 10, we played around inside. Once 3:00 rolled around, we stayed until the sun went down. It was great! Juliet got lots of holding by everyone. We also decided to cook our big meals in the middle of the day. Since it is so hot, we didn't want to be on the beach. So at night it was left overs, which was perfect because we were worn out!
The first couple of days, Justin and Daddy caught a ton of fish just off the beach. They had a great time! They were tossing their fish back in because no body wanted to clean them, but a foreign lady asked if she could have them. She said it was her dream to have fresh fish at the beach. So Justin and Daddy loaded her up! Justin did sustain an injury. He had a chuck of flesh taken from his finger by his fish on the hook. We made a run to the store for supplies. It finally stopped bleeding; I thought he might have to have stitches. (it's fine now) The girls watched and Juliet ate Deda's hat and water bottle.
We all had a super time and we are all looking forward to next year. Juliet is going to be so cute, walking around playing in the sand and splashing in the water! Justin is looking forward to building sand castles with her.

OOoooh, that trip looks like so much fun! I just love beach time! Your family looks wonderful, and so tan! Juliet is so precious, teething and crawling - what a big girl! Sonora loved the video and kept saying, "Mo, De-et? Mo, please?" Which means, "May I please watch the Juliet crawling video over and over, I just can't get enough."
