Having fun at the beach

A big hug on Mother's Day









我们家虽然离海边只有1英里,可是今天是第一次领安娜去海边。安娜是即喜欢玩,可又害怕海浪。一次海浪冲过来,她跑得不够快,一屁股坐到了水里,全都湿透了。看着她随着海浪跑来跑去,真是好玩。三个孩子一起,都玩了一身沙子。在回家的路上,我们问安娜好玩儿吗, 她说 “不好玩儿,要摔到水里的。”
Though we only live one mile away from the ocean, it was the first time that we brought Anna to the beach. She enjoyed playing there, but she was also afraid of the waves. Once when the waves came, she was trying to run away, but she was not fast enough and fell into the water, soaking her clothes. After that, she stayed far away from the ocean. We asked her on our way home if she had fun and she said: “No, I fell in the water.”

  1. Julie,
    Just enjoyed your recent pictures on the BAAS site so had to jump over to your blog. Anna is doing amazing and is just beautiful!! Your photos take me back to my week in Hangzhou at the Lakeview when we adopted Jaya in 07.
    Have a great one!
