It was supposed to be a hot day so Dad picked a beach with lots of shade. So much for the hot day though. It was hot before we left but we had thunder and lightning, rain on the way and then a cool breeze, cold water and only patches of sunlight while we were there. It worked out well though. I didn't have to worry to much about Alex getting sunburned and it wasn't too hot for any of us.
Alex had a great time running around on the beach but didn't want to go in the water. He still ended up wet though and very sandy.
I wanted to get some good photos of him but now he is walking (running) he just doesn't want to stay put for a photo. Every time he sees me in front of him he turns around and heads the other way. He has photographers child syndrome already!
I still took a pile of photos, mostly of his back. The camera stuffed up at one point. All my photos were turning out dreadfully over exposed no matter what settings I tried and then I got the dreaded error 99 and couldn't turn the camera off. Anyway after a bit of playing around with the battery and the memory card things came good again but I lost a lot of the photos I'd already taken and those that saved are too overexposed to be any good. Mind you I haven't had a look at them yet.
I've got lots of photos to go through so I wont be getting them all done tonight. Here's the first lot I've downloaded from the camera.
Alex had a cardboard coffee cup (from our morning coffee) which he had fun with. His Grandma gave it to him thinking he would use it to play in the water but after trying to drink the water from it he settled for just carrying it around. He had some shells in it at one point until he tried to eat them.
He didn't know what to do with sand on his hands.
Yep that's me trying to get him to walk in the water.
