The sun had finally come out after days and days of rain and while it felt warm and cosy up at the cottage it was a little chilly down at the beach! The winds were strong and the waves were stronger. That didn't stop my girl from forcing me into the water the minute we arrived.
I can assume this was Grace's first time ever touching a sandy beach and splashing in the waves. It made all three moms a little emotional watching her for her first time, not just because it was her first time to experience the beach, but because had Grace and I not been brought together through adoption, Grace might never have had an opportunity to touch the soft sand with her toes, to feel waves rush over her feet. From the photos I think you'll agree, she liked it, and sometimes it's overwhelming to me to think of all the things she might have missed had we not become our little family of two.
ps. Grace slept better at the cottage than she ever sleeps at home, full night and a long nap. I mentioned to Deb that I might need to move in!!!!!
pps. I've only included a few photos of out cottage good times. Will post more later of the whole group if the moms are ok with it

| Before heading up to the cottage, we had a lovely get together with good friends, former colleagues of mine. Here's Grace showing Emily how to make bubbles! |

| Some night time visitors to the cottage. A pair of baby raccoons found the empty chip bag we forgot in the wagon! |

| Busy, busy busy! |

| My girl does love to eat! Nothing like having a bowl of scrambled eggs on your lap and a cookie in each hand! |

Wow sounds like you certainly had a great hostess.
As far as the simple things like the sand and water and how happy it made Grace....I wonder if Grace now wants sand at bath time at home.....laughing. As long as Grace would have fun with it, the extra cleanup I am sure would be fine with her mom....not as though Suzanne would just sit and watch I bet.
If anyone is familiar with the movie...Fiddler on the roof,,,if not look it up and in particular one song.....MATCHMAKER....a perfect song for Suzanne and Grace.
Good point Suzanne, who ever thinks of walking in the water at the beach...things we maybe take for granted. Great pics. Grace sure loves the water! K
