Wink Family: Vacation Day 12

On Day 12 Isabelle had someone to play with on the beach. One of Isabelle's relatives, Lucy, came over to play. (I am thinking she might be a third cousin) They had so much fun except Lucy loved the water and Isabelle did not find it appealing at all. At one point Lucy started running down to the ocean and Isabelle yelled, "stop the waters down there". At this point in the vacation she is still convinced that only Mommy and Daddy's play in the ocean and it is simply for decoration, and definitely not for kids.

I love this picture of Pop Pop and Isabelle. Staring out at the ocean having a serious conversation about life. - Isabelle and her new buddy Lucy.

This was about as close as Isabelle was going to get to getting in the water. She would stand there and when the water would rush up she would run up and yell I got wet, just as excited as she could be. She was so proud to finally put her feet in the water =)

Later that afternoon we decided to go up to one of the local hotels and see an old friend of the family play with his band. We had a great time and were able to meet family members that I had never met before. Everyone was so friendly and Isabelle met another friend and relative, Erin. Erin and Isabelle were told that they could play in the sand right next to our table. Just a minute later I look over to see that they are both gone. Dave runs after them and they are half way up the beach. Once he catches up with the escape artist he asked Isabelle what she was doing and her reply, "I was with my friend dad". Oh she was with her friend, I guess in her mind that would have been fine since she wasn't alone. Did I mention their total combined age is 7!
