found the sun too bright sometimes
watched the big kids and took mental notes at first
liked to look at magnified, weird, dead stuff
wanted to do it herself
wanted to know if this was a mermaid's tail
did not want to go anywhere near the ocean
nor the wet sand
did not care at all for me taking pictures of her when she was upset
rocked the sunglasses
hard
slowly made her way into the ocean with some help
was very comfortable in the dry, dry sand
ended up with sand in and on every body part
thought to pick out tiny seedy parts of a plant in order to prepare a meal for the grasshoppers
wandered during the volleyball games
wanted someone to dig with her
wanted to do whatever the big kids were doing
was charming for the camera
turned five
got braver in her old age
took a little slap in the face from a wave
didn't like saltwater in her face so much
enjoyed putting sand on Mommy's foot
was very fun to take pictures of
was easy to take pictures of
was oblivious to the picture taking process
played and played and played in the sand
and didn't want to leave the beach in the end.

Such a sweet little girl!
What an amazing time it looks like was had by all! I love seeing happy kidlets at the beach. :)
She really is so tiny...why does she look so so big (and old) in these pictures??
