The Beach -- Norah

 Norah LOVED and HATED the ocean this year. She got knocked over by a tiny wave the day we arrived at the beach and never fully recovered from the shock. By mid-week, she realized she liked ONLY the "big water," as she called it; in other words, she would go out into the ocean, first on Kit's shoulders and eventually in his arms. We were so happy when she finally went into the ocean this year. She absolutely loved all of the water -- big and little -- last year.

 Norah with her minions - they brought her water, in tiny buckets, to fill up her protective sand fortress built by Kit. Kit looks so silly with his tiny buckets!!!

The transitional phase into the "little water"

Success! Kit gets Norah out into the "big water."
