Do You Wonder Where We Are? It's Belly Button Beach!

Where tons of hippos stand around in bathing suits too little, because they hope you will admire the button on their middle.

Yes, we had more beach time on Saturday after going out to breakfast and a trip to the farmer's market.  Kennedy really can't get enough of the beach.  As you can see, she has no qualms about the water temperature and getting all the way in.  It seems that the girls walking around in bikinis in 65 degree weather and playing in the water didn't care either.  Personally, I think they're crazy.  Poor Noah was left on the beach to watch all of our shoes.
I didn't want to get him out for too long because I hadn't brought sunscreen for his little baby skin.  So he guarded our belongings while I watched Kennedy and Brett play out in the water.  She really can't help but run around because she loves it so much.
We can hardly keep up with her, and that's why the waves knock her down.  This time, it was face first into the water.  She was soaked, so we decided that we didn't need to keep her clean and dry anymore.  She really enjoyed sitting in the sand and having the waves come and wash up on her.
She was, however, shivering when she got out of the water.  So we took Noah out for a few minutes so that he could get a taste for the beach.
We dipped his feet in the water so he could feel it on his little toes.
As you can see, he was not a fan.  As soon as his toes touched the water, he started screaming.  He must have been under the impression that the water was too cold as well.  We are going to venture up the river for lunch today, where we hear the water is warmer.  Hopefully that's true, because I'd really love to enjoy the water without having to get numb.

So jealous. It looks beautiful! The key to cold water is to go numb by jumping over waves and then drinking hot chocolate on the beach.
