¡A la Playa!


We went to the beach yesterday evening with our friends, Bradford and Bea and their daughters, Julia and Anna. It was the first time Arabella touched sand. She seemed more interested in Anna's toys, though.

Since she's still too young for sunscreen, we were careful to go when the sun's bite wasn't as strong. We call Bella our "vampire child" since the bright sunlight makes her writher and squirm (I think she is truly meant to grow up in Seattle). At 6:30, however, it was still in the low 80's, so we spent our short visit there under a nice big beach umbrella while Julia ran around kicking up sand and causing the men to worry about their nice, clean cars.


After about 30 minutes beach time, we treated outselves to horchatas and made it home in time for a Alex to read a bedtime story.
All in all it was a nice, relaxing Sunday afternoon in Valencia.
