On our first full day here at the shore, we spent most of the morning down on the beach. As soon as we sat Owen down in the sand, he tried to eat some, which started our constant efforts to keep him from doing so. Owen really seems to like the ocean - he at least didn't cry when we dipped him in the water and pretended to have him jump the waves. Then, we sat him down in the sand and let the ripples flow over him. I think he actually liked it when a big wave washed over him! He liked playing with the wet sand, and, of course, tried to eat some more.
We bought a Owen a small wading pool that Daddy blew up and then filled up with water by hauling buckets of water from the ocean. When we weren't playing in the ocean, we sat him in the wading pool to keep him busy. Rather than getting umbrellas, we bought a tent to provide some shade for us. It ended up being very easy to put up and to secure in the sand. It provided a good shelter for Owen while he wasn't in the ocean or the pool.
At night, we got some salmon fillets and clams from the fish market at the end of the street and grilled them all up - delicious!! And then we spent another nice evening on the decks watching the sunset and enjoying the warm air!
