Jinna's first glimpse of the ocean -- ever!

This little girl had never seen the ocean before so we made it a priority this summer to take her to the beach.  Last weekend was the big occasion!  She, as usual, was extremely excited.

 Poppa was there to help her take her first steps into the water:

 She wasn't too sure about the waves and how it kept getting deeper, but she sure liked sitting in the sand...

 .... and her siblings liked to play with her.

I was told they were making a "Princess Castle"...

 I loved looking out and seeing all 5 of my kids playing on the beach!
