Clearwater Beach

We went to the beach when grammy came. She didn't want to come all the way to Florida and not go to the beach, so we took her one of the best beaches in the US! Clearwater Beach. It really is beautiful. Grammy got Ali a bucket and shovel and she wanted to make a castle and since Cooper was sleeping I decided to help her.

She called it a princess castle; but it wasn't a wall around it. . . it was a choo-choo train. I guess lots of princesses ride the train? Or maybe she just likes trains and she thinks she's a princess.

This is what happened when I told her it was time to go! But then she saw the Pirate . . .

Ali knows no stranger; she shook his hand and then followed him when he walked off. I was cleaning up our area getting ready to leave and we noticed Ali had wandered off . . . She was right behind the pirate, so I grabbed the camera and got a few pictures. She hugged him . . . Eeww! I'm not sure why she liked him so much. . . actually I find it really creapy that she followed this grungy looking guy!
