Audrey's First Beach Swim

This New Year's we spent some time on the east coast with friends in the little beach town of Opotiki. It rained and rained and rained. The roads leading out of Opotiki were flooded over twice! We spent a lot of time in doors playing card games and I even played charades (after a glass of celebratory New Year's wine). To my surprise and delight, it's actually a lot of fun! Although don't expect me to be playing in front of a large group of people. I still get stage fright.

On our very last day we were there, miracle of miracles, we saw a tiny spot of blue sky peeking through the clouds. We all ran outside to witness the sky. By mid-morning the sky was completely blue and the sun was shining. We decided to stay an extra day and made a mad dash for the beach. Me and Phil went earlier in the day (without baby) and later in the afternoon took Audrey for her first experience with the ocean.

She loved it! She was kicking the waves and concentrating so hard on the soft sand under her tiny toes. It was a beautiful moment and I'm glad we were able to capture it on camera. I think I will always treasure these photos.

Audrey's first day at the beach.
