The Pier

Trixie got to go down to the beach for a few days last week -- without Mom or Dad. But not entirely by herself. She went with her grandmother, and I swung down a couple of days later. She did not like the ocean, but loved the pier and watched a little boy catch a flopping fish. The old pier also had an arcade and she did a little skee-ball. Trixie is dangerous with that game. Most of the balls ended up on the other side of the room.

I don't blame Trixie one bit for not being a beach fan - that sand can get downright nasty sometimes. She seems to have a great vantage point of it from here in the picture, though! Posted by: Judy at August 14, 2006 12:25 AM Comments JEEZ-Louise She is just such a little kid now, isn't she? Seems like just yesterday we were watching her bottles and how many ounces she was taking. She's just getting so grown up. Isn't it time for her to get a little sister so we can relive that? Posted by: Debi at August 14, 2006 01:20 AM Comments Wow. I had been away from the site for a while, and then it occurred to me this morning -- Trixie must've turned three. Where did the time go? Happy Birthday, Trixie! Posted by: ShotgunDaddy at August 14, 2006 04:06 AM Comments Look at how she's got her hands jammed in her pockets -- so nonchalant. Why didn't she like the ocean? Isaac dabbled in it (the Pacific, that is) for the first time last week and had a good time. Posted by: Nicole R. at August 14, 2006 06:41 AM Comments ben (and jenn) werent those couple of days when she was gone the best and worst days ever at the same time? you sit there and go"...hey its TOO quiet" and then go "oh yea...this is nice" Posted by: shawn at August 14, 2006 09:51 AM Comments I think this might be one of my favorites now! Love the shot! Good work Ben! Posted by: Jessica at August 14, 2006 11:18 AM Comments Looks like Trixie needs some sunglasses! Maddie loves the ocean. Unfortunately, we live in the Pacific Northwest, where the water is frigid. It doesn't bother her, but you should see Maddie's Dad and me wading in after her. BRRRRR. I still haven't spent a night apart from Maddie. Someday... Posted by: Maddie's Mom at August 14, 2006 11:19 AM Comments benmac, I have a question: Did Trixie go to Myrtle Beach? Your description of the pier sounds a LOT like the pier at that beach!
