We took Kate for her first real trip to the beach on Monday. Before dipping her little toes into the surf, I scoped the water for sea lice, jelly fish, sharks, baracudas, skinny-dippers, and all other unpleasant creatures of the sea. All was clear, so we took the plunge (well...her toes took the plunge).

The water was still a bit chilly, and Kate wasn't so sure about the waves, but it was nevertheless a fun-filled afternoon. Hope you enjoy the pics!
