Asa's First Beach Trip - A Taste Of Sand

We were suppose to go camping this past weekend to shake off our Maggie blues but Miss Asa woke up with a really bad ear infection so no go for us.  So glad we opted to stay home as it wasn't fun for any of us!  Saturday we took the girls to a fun beach to get a little fresh air.  Dylan was off swimming (crazy girl that she is), Matt chasing after her, and Asa and I played in the sand.  It was hilarious to watch her discover what sand was.....

"Oh I'm feeling a little better, nice to be outside, look at me I'm sitting on a blanket like a big girl.  Oh a blue shovel, how fun."

"Oh wow, what's this stuff, interesting texture.  Maybe I'll use my shovel."

"Uh, who needs a shovel, my hands are faster.  This stuff sure feels funny and kind of good."

"I do like how it feels, very interesting."

 "Hey, wait a minute where did it go?  It was just in my hand a second ago!"

"Oh I'll just get some more.  Man look at my socks, and now my pants, this stuff is getting everywhere."

"I wonder how it tastes?  My Mom keeps telling me not to eat it so it must be really good.  I'll sneak a taste when she's not looking."

"Hmmmm, kind of crunchy, gritty...  Oh brother, now it's really all over my pants."

"Okay I'll try a little more when she's not looking.  'Hey Mom, look it's Dylan over there in the back ground.'"

"What? What you looking at?  Moi?  Come on I didn't do anything, just here playing with my blue shovel."

"Honest Mom, just me and my blue shovel here, nothing else to look at."

"Oh this black stuff streaming out of my mouth, oh that nothing (spit spit spit)."

"'Oh come on Mom, can't a girl have some fun.' Oh boy this stuff tastes horrible (more spit) don't tell my Mom!'

And you can only imagine what her diaper looked like later on!  But the girl was having fun and believe me we all needed a little fun!
