Olivia's fun in the sun

Papa leading Olivia down to the waves.  After this moment, she spent most of the time she was ever on the beach in the water.  If you have ever swam in the Atlantic anywhere on the New England coast, you know how freezing it is.  We would pull her out when she was shivering and just about to turn blue.  She couldn't get enough!!  I remember being young and freezing my butt off but I did not want to get out of that ocean.

Olivia liked helping herself to other kids toys...but then I realized that's what all the kids on the beach do.  She made so many friends, little kids just go up to one another and play with everyone's shovels and toys.  Wouldn't it be nice if adults could "play" like that!

Paula and Jim have beautiful flowers in their front yard.  The yard was just big enough for Olivia to run around in and have fun.  She loved picking flowers to give to people.  Notice she has on a watch...she thinks watches are "so pretty" so my mom and Paula picked her up one.

In the front yard there are also some gravel rocks...Olivia would pick out "pretty" ones and line them up on the wall.  This game proved for hours of enjoyment.

Olivia and Mommy!  I had so much fun seeing Olivia have so much fun where I have had so many great memories.

More pictures and fun stories to come!
