Karis First Day at Beach
Karis and I decided to take a trip to the East Coast to visit my family. We were disappointed that Andy couldn't join us for the whole trip, but were glad that he did come for a few days at the end. We joined my brother Bob and his family for a 5 day week at Dewey Beach, DE. Well, due to the weather, RAIN, we went home a few days early but still got to spend a few overcast hours on the sand. I was excited for Karis to get to spend time with other kids. She is usually with just me all week, with some contact with other kids every Sabbath at church. Her cousins are Ming, almost 3 years old and ZhenZhu who is about a year old. After a little bit of a rocky start between Ming and Karis, things mellowed out well.
Karis's first experience with the beach came after a long drive and not enough nap time. She was a little fussy to begin with. She loved all the sand, but wasn't totally comfortable with the surf. we played in the sand for a while and then headed down tot the water. She enjoyed standing with me holding both hands while the water washed up over her feet. I think that next time we go to the beach, i would like it to be warmer water and a little less rough. The Atlantic coast is a little cool and rough.
