The Cundey Courier: Beach Baby

I'm finally getting around to posting about our trip to North Myrtle Beach, which happened between September 26 and October 5.

We left our house on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 26, but stopped for the night near Richmond, VA and didn't get to our destination until about 2pm on Friday afternoon. Audra rarely sleeps in the car (and if she does wind up falling asleep in the car it's usually for less than 45 minutes), so we were glad we spread the trip over 2 days.

We got settled into the Wyndham Resort, had a late lunch and then Audra went down for a nap. After she woke we decided to take a quick walk on the beach before dinner. My mother in law suggested changing Audra into her swimsuit, but I didn't think it was necessary. Silly me!! After about 15 minutes Audra was tired of walking in the sand and found the water too enticing to avoid. We tried to keep her dry but she didn't want any of us to hold onto her so pretty soon she had fallen into the water.

Audra was giving Mimi a difficult time by trying to plunge headfirst into the water.

We eventually gave up on trying to keep Audra out of the water and just let her sit in the waves with her clothes on. I learned my lesson about trying to keep a child dry while they're next to the ocean!

For the next 7 days we were blessed with warm and sunshiny weather... perfect beach weather! Audra loved playing in the sand, rolling in the sand and going into the ocean. She is definitely a beach baby!
