Anders at the Beach
This summer had some really hot points; July in particular was a scorcher, and one of the hottest months we can remember since moving west. We usually have a few days of heat here and there, but this July the heat just didn't let up. With the prospect of yet another HOT weekend looming, we decided to head North and visit my Dad at his place in Ocean Shores on the Washington coast.
It took us a while to get there, but once we did it was worth it. The temperature was about 25 degrees cooler on the coast than inland. We had a nice Saturday of doing nothing and enjoying not roasting in the heat. There happened to be a biker convention in Ocean Shores that weekend, so the roads and parking lots were full of bikers and their rides, which was kinda fun to watch. But the highlight of the trip was introducing Anders to the beach.
Anders had never been to a beach before. In Ocean Shores you can drive your car right up onto the beach, so we drove right up to the surf. The excessive heat brought out tons of people, so we had to drive quite a distance down the beach in order to escape most of the crowds.
We put Anders down in the sand and let him explore it on his own. He started off by feeling the wet sand on his feet.
Once he was sitting, he explored the sand on his hands and between his fingers. He took his time with the exploration.
But it was inevitable where this exploration would end.
