So on Saturday, Mary Rotman, Ember (Rotman), Jamie, Danika and I went the beach for the morning/afternoon. We actually started out at the Farmer's Market at the Vets Building. We had a nice time looking around at the great food and produce there, and we bought some AMAZING white nectarines! Wow, they were good. Danika kept on calling them apples, but to her credit they looked similar to apples (not to mention that any type of fruit is either an apple or bananna to her). After the Market, we went and got Ember and packed up everything into my car and headed out. Thank goodness Danika fell asleep on the way there. Her head slumped over to the side, into that unnatural and uncomfortable position right when we hit Sebastopol. We ended up at Schoolhouse Beach. The weather was heavenly, no clouds or anything! The one problem was that this particular beach has pebbles instead of sand. Usually I love those pebbles, they are quite pretty, but they were insanely hot! I am kind of a wimp, so maybe some of you could have handled it, but I had a hard time!
Danika immediately wanted to go to the water! I was rather surprised at how brave she was during the whole time. Especially after what happened with one of the first waves. see in this picture, we went up to the water, and waited for a wave to come get our feet wet. Danika is giggling and so excited, and as I see a wave come up, I begin to realize how big it is.When I realized this, there was only a moment before the wave was going to hit us, so I scooped her up and tried to get out of the way. I am so glad that I got her up in time, because it was so strong, that it could have taken her with it! It was such a terrible thought, I had to purposefully push that out of my mind. In the picture, I have my red flip-flops on. When that wave hit, it dragged off one of
my shoes, and since I had Danika, I couldn't run and get it. So Mary, being wonderful, runs to get it. However, she has Ember on his leash, and Ember is terrified of this water! So she was literally dragging Ember into the water to save my shoe. Then, Danika drops her pacifier, and luckily I grabbed that in time So as you time. So in the end, we all were fine, just a bit of excitement to start the afternoon. The rest of the time that we were by the water, I had my hands around her stomach with my fingers laced just in case I needed to scoop her up fast again, which I did!
Well, we had a wonderful time! I will have all the pictures up from the trip on my Shutterfly photo site! Feel free to check them out!
