Jack at the Beach


Ever since Jackson absolutely loved the coast in Oregon when we went way back in March I have been excited to take him to a Souther California beach in the summer since it would be the same stuff but with much warmer water. So, just the other day we went out to Crescent and Jack was being so funny about it! He was happy to be there and absolutely loved watching the waves, especially people surfing, body boarding or boogie boarding, and he loved loved watching all the "big jets!" -as he calls airplanes or helicopters- fly by. But, he absolutely hated the sand this time! He would freak out when it touched him and try to wipe it off right away! He wouldn't even stand on it, walk on it or anything! He would splash in the water with Grandma and Grandpa and yell excitedly every time a big wave crashed, but you had to carry him back to his chair because he literally would not lower his feet to stand on the sand! So random- but we still had a fun time, and as shown in the pictures, "Papa" and Uncle Colby made Jackson his own little sand chair near the shore which he loved sitting on while watching the waves and washing the sand off over and over again in his little bucket of water. Such a goofy kid. Gotta love him though!

notice how he is smiling in this next picture, but holding out his hands because he got that icky sand on them
Here is a short video of Jack getting excited about the waves
