Today we got out to the beach early and didn't come in until time for supper. Ella discovered the ocean and finally started walking in the sand. At first, she wasn't sure about the sand...especially when it was between her toes! I can't really blame her because I'm not crazy about the sand between my toes either! Now, we're having a hard time keeping her out of the sand and water. We had to take turns chasing her up and down the beach. When we would go under the tents to reapply sunscreen or take a break from the sun, she would cry and beg to go back out to the water. Ella took her bikini top off earlier in the day and spent most of the day topless. I hope she out grows this! Here are some pictures from our day on the beach...
Sunset Beach is a small island off the coast of NC. You usually think of sea turtles, sea gulls, fish, etc... being the types of wildlife you normally see at the beach. The last couple of years we've seen deer. This morning on the way to the beach, we saw 5 deer. The biggest was a 9 point buck and there were two fawns. Last night, Matt and Ashley saw a fox while they were riding their bicycles. It's amazing to see these types of animals at the beach especially on an island!
