Saturday at the Beach

It finally feels like spring! Saturday it was 20ish degrees and today it got up to 26 (though I have to say that's more like summer than spring) and we're supposed to have sun and similar temperatures until next weekend. After the morose beginning of the season that we've had so far, it was nice to get out and soak up some Vitamin D.

Today we went for a beautiful walk along the plage des Abatilles, which is just inside the city of Arcachon. There is a really nice walkway and a bike path along the beach, as well as grassy areas for picnics. There were a lot of people out enjoying the sun and the heat, and Aimy had a great time people-watching and pointing at all the dogs from her stroller.

Yesterday, though, was a lot of fun. After Aimy's nap, we headed off to the beach town with the intention of taking a walk on the sand. But when we saw the water and saw how many kids were dipping their feet in, we decided to see how Aimy would react. When I first took off her shoes and put her down in her bare feet on the sand she refused to stand up and kept kicking her feet away from the sand as if to say "What the heck is this stuff?!" After a while of that, though, she decided to stand up and try walking, and once she got going it was hard to get her to stop! The proof in pictures:

Quite a few people in the water!

Not bad for a 13th of April

Checking out the other people having fun

Saying "Bye bye" to Mama before going
on a big adventure!

Heading for the waves

First taste of the water

And we like it enough to go further!

Coming back to tell me all about it

I want to go out again!

And so they do

Sweet baby girl, all happy from her ocean
adventure!
