Poseidon, King of the Sea

Here I am enjoying the waves on Long Island Sound.
Sorry the video is sideways, Mommy couldn't figure out how to fix that.

Swimming at Cedar Beach

Mommy, Daddy, and I have gone to Cedar Beach in Mt. Sinai many times before (it's really near our house!), but this is the first time they have taken me there to go swimming!

They weren't sure how I would react to the waves, so Daddy took me in very slowly and carefully.
But I wasn't scared at all! I loved it, and I was ready to jump right in.


Daddy had to hold me back - I tried over and over to break free and dive in head first.
Finally I got Daddy to take me in the deep part! What fun!


Back on shore, I tried to get away again so that I could go in deeper.

So Daddy took me back out.

After a while, I came up on the beach to play with the stones. I sure do love to dig.


Mommy was very interested to see my expert technique in getting stones into a pail.

I filled pail after pail with little stones.
It was so much fun!
After a while, I realized that I had sand and stones all over my feet! Yuck!
So I made Daddy take me back in the water to get clean. Of course, I brought my pail and shovel with me so I could try scooping water into the pail.


What an excellent time we had!

Cedar Beach Playground

After spending some time on the beach today, we went to the playground at Cedar Beach. I headed straight for the slide.

I slid and slid... I couldn't get enough!!







When Mommy got tired of lifting me onto the slide, she and Daddy took me to the tube.


HA! If I sit directly in the middle, you can't reach me from either side!!!
Then Daddy took me to swing. And we all know how I feel about swings. :)



After a good bit of swinging, I sat in the sand with Daddy to do more digging. The whole playground there is like one big sandbox!



Finally, I got up and went exploring on my own.

A Day at the Beach

What a great weekend! It was so beautiful out that Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Cedar Beach on Saturday.

I was able to use my pails and shovels to play with the rocks and sand.
Rocks go in...
... rocks come back out...

... rocks go back in...
... rocks go back out.

I was fascinated by the water, and Daddy had to keep me from jumping in. I settled for splashing with my shovel, since the water was COLD.


Here I am trotting along the beach. I am so fast now!

Daddy and I walked along looking for good rocks.


I found some!! Into the bucket they go!

Here I am with Mommy. What a great time we had!
