I Hate Water Yes I Do, I Hate Water, How 'Bout You?

She might hate water because on her first trip into the ocean a big wave came and knocked her and her Daddy down; sending them into a death roll- like movement, right where the water meets the shore. Until, with great strength, from under the crashing waves, dear old Dad managed to stand up, holding the Little up over his head, as to not let her ingest any more sea water than she already had.
Can't you just hear the screams from my baby, not to mention the dirty looks from all the beach goers saying to themselves "what are those evil parents doing taking that baby in the sea on a day like this!"
Ah, just another day at the beach....
However, I must say that the trauma from the beach has curved her feelings for the water park and she was quite happy playing in the shallows yesterday!

In this picture I want you to look at her hand, she has a death grip on my back fat and was only looking up for a second. She spent most of her time in the water burying her face in my chest, which I was fine with, b/c it muffled the screams.

Look at the sass on her face...she is saying "if you don't get me out of here, I'm going to run away!"

And this my friends is the view that I am assuming her and Mr. Jones saw before they took their first dive together!
Kev actually did take this picture using his new birthday present. Pretty cool and very fun to play with!

i would have been scared too if i were libster. poor thing! ha ha! i hope she grows to like the water soon. i think hope would stay in the pool all day if we didn't make her get out. you should have seen her pruned fingers and feet today - unreal. but now she's a tad bit sunburt - even though she had on SPF, a SPF swimsuit and another long sleeve SPF shirt.... oh, and a hat, and she was in a floatie with a shade. what more can we do? HA HA! maybe not keep her in the pool for 2 hours?

Keep perseveering with the trips to the sea - her Dad's love of the sea must be there somewhere!
Tell Libby Grandma will try and find a beach with gentle waves when she comes to Bude.
And tell Kevin I am very impressed with the wave picture - really looks very professional!

I think that I should escort Libs to Bude to visit her Grams. That's a great idea. Cousin Kev's picture does look professional.
