The heat spiked miraculously (and briefly) last week. Simone took advantage of the respite from the blistering summer cold to make a special trip down to the beach. The little guy was ecstatic!
Hand in hand, Simone and Baby B walked down the steep hill to the beach one early morning. The beach was nearly empty save for a few divers in their wet suits. Even the lifeguards hadn't made it to the beach yet. A family of ducks napped by the water's edge, blissfully ignoring the little guy. Not for long. Baby B decided to wake up the lazy birds with a rip roaring shout and a sprint toward their cozy sleeping grounds.
That having been achieved, Baby B then proceeded to dip his feet in the (freezing!!!) water and to dig in the sand with the shovel that Simone had thoughtfully provided. They spent nearly two hours at the beach before Baby B decided he'd had enough and headed for the stairs back to the parking lot. Stairs that he climbed by himself, for the record!
Sadly, the temperature dipped again and Friday may have constituted the only day with suitable temperatures for beachcombing...
Let's hope not!
