The Beach

So even though we live in Florida we rarely go to the beach. It is really far for us and the novelty wore off long ago. So we decided last week to take the kids to the beach. Johnny has never been and Alexandra hasn't gone since we went to Greece. Nick and I were so excited. We thought this was a great idea and the kids were going to have so much fun. We couldn't have been more wrong. Alexandra liked the sand for about 45 minutes but she didn't want to go anywhere near the water. She didn't even want her toes in it. Johnny hated everything about it. He didn't want to go in the water and he didn't like the sand. He basically cried the entire time we were there because there was no way to keep sand off his body. He wanted to dig with his sister but he didn't want it touching him, obviously impossible to do! After an hour of Johnny crying non-stop we decided just to get out of there! So one day we'll try it again but for now we'll stick to the pool!
