Des got a major tan from all his time at the beach and the pool, despite the religious use of sunblock.The only thing white is his little bum just like the little girl in the vintage Coppertone ads. Sorry, no pix of his white bum...Dada said that we had to protect his modesty =:) But just imagine the picture below!
We are happy to say that Des loves the pool and the ocean. When we get outside onto the deck in the mornings, he says "bubbles, bubbles" pointing at the pool, meaning he wants to go in the pool and blow bubbles and splash around. A few days ago, while we were in the ocean, we saw about 4 to 5 dolphins about 200 feet from the beach, just diving up from the water playing. We couldn't believe how close they were. Des was so excited to see them. He said over and over "
Look, dophins, jumpin'. I see them. You see dophins Dada? You see them?"
That same day, Des also enjoyed sitting close the beach and trying to fill his little bucket up with water every time the waves washed ashore.
Stella is still a land lover and prefers to play on the beach rather than get in the water...
...but one day at the beach, Stella had no choice, because Aunt Marisa just scooped her up and went in and Stella was less apt to protest with Aunt Marisa as opposed to Mama or Dada. Stella got used to the ocean and she really liked jumping the waves with Aunt Marisa.
Aunt Marisa even convinced Stella to go all the way under the water 3 times (although Stella really had no choice). Very impressive considering Stella hates getting water in her face and eyes during baths.
Here they are emerging after one of their dunks underwater

Such cute beach pictures! I hope that Des has his mommy's skin and doesn't burn :) Brave girl, Stella for jumping the waves!
Look how cute! Man, I miss the beach already...
