Our silly swimmer

We've been enjoying a variety of beaches recently. Even when we're not at the beach, Lucy finds ways to have fun with her swimsuit. The other day she decided it would be fun to wear it on her head (after wearing it around backwards for awhile). She is definitely a creative gal!


Last week the weather was gorgeous- sunny, breezy and fresh-feeling. It was a little too cold for swimming, but we went in anyway, and snuggled in towels afterwards.


And then this weekend we went to the ocean! It was our first time since last year, and I don't think I had swum in the ocean in years. The water was surprisingly warm and refreshing on such a hot day. Lucy was scared of the waves coming at her at first, but soon thought it was quite fun, as I lifted her up when each wave came. We even went out deeper and bobbed up and down with the waves. Being at the ocean brought back so many wonderful memories of my family's yearly trips to the New Jersey shore when I was younger.



We ended up staying quite late at our friends' house, and on the highway home we saw fireworks! (This was the day before the 4th). When we first pointed them out to Lucy, she said, "Fireworks- ha, ha, they funny". We pulled off at an exit and watched the rest of them- Lucy was happy to stay in the car where they weren't as loud.
