Sand

Living in Hawaii, you would think that we ventured to the beach often. Unfortunately, not this family. For the past couple of years we did not even dare think about having an outing to the beach.

Let me introduce you to my daughters dislikes -

anything that is messy - frosting, dirt, SAND!

One or two tiny grains of sand would send her over the edge in a frantic ramble/jig/cry as she would try her hardest to separate herself from each and every grain that made contact with her.

We dared to make a visit to the beach the other day. To our great surprise, we stayed! It looks as if her serious dislike for the sand was just a phase that she grew out of!

We were so proud of her for getting over her fear of sand. We had a wonderful time as a family on the beach with wonderful friends.

Even William found peace in napping on the beach.

It was a wonderful family outing!
