Surfer girl

Another day at the beach! I like the cottage. I get to stay up late and eat all kinds of stuff and play with everybody any time I want to. I stayed up a little late last night but I slept pretty well. I woke up and Mom fed me a big breakfast. Then Mom and Dad took me for a walk around the neighborhood before their breakfast. After that, Mom and I took a good nap while Dad and Uncle Rich played frisbee golf. After my lunch, Mom put my bathing suit and sunblock on and we all went to the beach! I played with beach toys and then Mom and Dad took me out in the water! I loved it! I rode in the floaty and squealed when the waves moved me up and down. It was breezy today and there were some good waves. I waved my hands and yelled. Maybe someday I will go visit Daddy's cousins in Massachusetts and surf with them! I didn't want to get out of the water. Mom let me sit on the edge of the water and feel the waves splash on me.
When I got out of the water, I sat under the beach umbrella and played with the beach ball and toys. Grandma gave me my first graham cracker! I made a little mess out of it. I really liked it! Mom didn't realize I could chew that well. I'm a smart baby!
All that excitement tired me out. Mom had to take me back to the cottage. She had to rinse the sand off my bottom! I ate and ate and then we cuddled on the couch until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I'm just finishing up my nap now. When I wake up we might walk down to get ice cream from the Ottawa Beach General Store. Then I'll go to sleep for the night. I wonder what fun we'll have tomorrow!
