My First Visit to the Beach

It’s been a very hot few days already, and I’ve been at the pool with Daddy almost every day since I last posted my first swim of the year.

Today, Mommy and Daddy decided that it’s time for me to try out a new place for swimming.  The beach!  In case you don’t know, I have never been to a beach in my life!  The closest thing to a beach that I visited was when I was at that ‘fake’ beach at The Hotel / Mandalay Bay swimming pool in Las Vegas during my last visit back in April of this year.  Otherwise, I really don’t know what real sand feels like. 

So after a short drive, we arrived at Seal Beach.  Once we have found a place to park our car, Mommy and Daddy carried lots of stuff, along with Alicia and myself, and headed down to the beach.  Since Daddy had Alicia in his arms, I was left with no choice but to hold Mommy’s hand, while walking towards the ocean.  Let me tell you, walking on sand is not that easy! 

After we have found a place to settle in, Mommy and Daddy started their beachside luncheon with some food that Mommy prepared.  Just when I was telling Daddy not to eat too full because he needs to go swimming with me later, Daddy told me that he’s not going to swim!!  What?  Why take me to the beach if you’re not going to swim?  And Daddy looked pretty serious too because he was still wearing that same pair of pants, with no intention of changing something into more ‘water friendly.’

So here it is!  I’m heading towards the water with Daddy!

Did I look like I was afraid of the ocean, let alone water?  Of course I’m not afraid of the water.  Instead, I was extremely eager to get into the water.  You can probably tell by watching this video below.

And when Daddy and I ran out of stuff to do while at the beach, he and I would go chase the birds around the beach.

 

If we get real tired again, we would head back to the water to relax for a bit.

 

Time flies when you’re doing something fun.  Here are some pictures that were taken from today.

 

Last but not least, it’s been a fun day at the beach!  Mommy and Daddy promised me that if I’m to become a good boy, they will bring me back to the beach very soon.  Let’s see when will that be!
