Charlie meets the Ocean

Charlie was thrilled at the ideal of going to the beach to

dig in the sand and going swimming. We spent

an hour and a half running from store to store

looking for sand toys just to be told they are an

seasonal item... hello it's Florida people

come year round to play on the beach!!

I told our friends they should start a business

renting sand toys to tourist. We came up empty

handed so Larry and Pam set Charlie up with

a Coffee can (plastic one), spoon and strainer to play with.

The waves were crashing into the shore

with such power and a roar! Charlie wanted

no part of the water and showed real fear of

it. But he loved digging in the sand and

picking up shells.It's amazing how you

forget the sound and power

of the water when you haven't seen it in a while.

We were lucky enough to see some dolphins while on the beach. I did get a few picture which are not the best but we will remember them.

Charlie and Daddy but if you look close at about the 2 o'clock position there is a dolphin.
