On Monday Wendy and I, along with her parents took Joy to the beach. It was the first time in a few years Wendy has been to the beach, due to some scheduling conflicts. It was also Joy's first trip to the beach.
Joy seemed to like it. We put her feet in the water. I do not think she liked it when the water rushed over her, but she never cried. The water was a little rough, so we did not stay out long. We could see shells being carried with the water. It was almost like missiles in certain places.
We let Joy crawl around in the sand. I am happy that she did not try and eat any of it. One time she picked up a white shell and tried to put in her mouth. I am thinking she thought it was a cracker.
While Wendy, Joy, and I were in the water, a flock of seagulls swooped down on a little girl and tried to eat her sandwich. Before we left the beach, Wendy thought she would summon some of the feathered friends. She took a wafer and threw it into the air. The seagulls came to it and then hovered over Wendy. They thought she had more food. Once they realized that was it, they left. Wendy's dad fed the seagulls and let them snatch the wafer out of his hand.
It was a pretty good trip. The weather was nice. We thought it was going to rain on us, but we saw no rain. When we left the house in the morning to go to the beach there was rain and as we left the beach the clouds came, but nothing while we were out there.
