Pacific Ocean Part 2

After grabbing some lunch, we did some exploring and found a small cove with shallow water and a nice sandy beach for Cole to run around:

 Loving the water:

 sandy toes:

 Reflections:

 Monkey see, monkey do:

 Favorite part? Chasing after the birds! 

 "I got so close that time, Mama! I almost got 'em!"

 I love the look on Cole's face in this one...

 Whew...getting tired after so much running around!

 And of course, what's a first trip to the ocean without a first sandcastle:

Hands down, one of my favorite parts of being a parent is being a part of all these special "firsts".  I love showing Cole the world!
