Beach Morning

This morning we woke up early (usual 6:45 time for Ana Maria) and was at the beach by 8:00. We are so lucky that the beach is only 15 minutes from our house so we were there in no time! Ana Maria loved it and we stayed over 2 hours! My brother in law told me that it was a perfect beach to take Ana Maria to because it has no waves early in the morning and it is very low tide. It is actually called Bathtub Beach for that reason...it was really like a bathtub. Luckily the whole time we were there it was low tide and so we were able to walk all the way to the coral reef and walk around out there. It was amazing!
I remember as kids going there all the time but as we got older we wanted to go to the beaches where all the surfers hung out. It had been a long time since I had been there but can't wait to take Eduardo there when he comes tomorrow and Ana Maria again Sunday hopefully.
Come visit and you can go too!!


That early in the morning there was hardly anyone there...

But it does become a very family beach with lots of kids!

The feeling of the sand on her feet :)

My sweet cousin Shelby came with us who is 10 years old!

Ana Maria and mama with her new floaties...they were awesome for the beach because they helped keep her balanced as she walked through the water and small waves.

She walked with us all the way out to the reef you see way in the background :)

Lee came with us too for a short time and took Shelby to the reef

This is Bathtub Beach!

I don't know if you can really see all the bait fish that were swimming around us, but there were a lot!

Looks like the perfect place for Miss Ana Maria! Grady and I are headed to SC on Saturday. I'm so excited to take him to the beach there.
