On The Beach

Patrick has had an odd fear of sand, it started a few months ago and I really didn't mind because sand is sort of nasty and difficult to clean off. This weekend we went to the beach for cousin Isabel and Gabrielle's birthday party and as usual, Patrick freaked out at the sand and refused to touch it. So Tom carried him out onto the beach and Patrick watched his cousins Brandie and Vincent digging and having a great time. Patrick decided the sand must not be all that bad because pretty soon he was standing in it, then sitting in it, then allowing Brandie to bury his feet in it. He ended up having a great day, and it was a rare warm and sunny day on the coast. Everyone had a great time, even Dex who napped under a chair. And check out the cool cakes Danielle made!
