Beach Days

So the thing to do in Rhode Island in the summer is go to the beach. We went ahead and bought the parking pass for the season. If he had his way, Jojo would be at the beach every day, all day. Every single time we leave the house, he asks if we are going to the beach!

Beach bag I made - have to be able to carry all our supplies!

The first time we tried out the beach, I forgot everything: swimsuits, towels, etc. I was planning on buying the pass and didn't realize that you purchased it at the entrance to the beach. I decided that since we were already there, I let Jojo out to see what his reaction was. Kid was in love from the very first moment.

He was so sad to leave. So we decided to do a another trip that weekend for him. We picked up our friend Shelby and headed back to the beach. We spent several hours enjoying the beach. Jojo never wanted to leave the water - in fact he was splashed in the face, got mad so we pulled him out to warm up for a bit and he scowled at the water before yelling in an angry voice "WATER PLEASE!" The little monkey did not like the water or the sand, so I spent most of the day holding him.

We have gone with our playgroup as well. Jojo played with his friends a little bit but spent most of his time in the water. Once again, the water was very cold but he did not want to leave. I had to drag him out while he kicked and screamed at me and begged for the water.
