Surfin' USA


We always call Isabelle a daredevil based on her perchant for jumping in with both feet (sometimes literally!) when any new opportunity presents itself. The beach and the surf were clearly not an exception to this rule. She loved them and even caused a few minor heart palpitations in family members with the gusto she showed in taking off for the waves.


She is so at home in the water, whether it's the tiny, self-contained pool or the vast, never-ending ocean. Neither one seems to faze her. Then again, we are talking about the diving board princess herself. She might be shy with you when you first meet her, but ask her to jump off or into anything and she'll do it.


This was our last night in Florida, surfing Isabelle spots her Mom coming to see her beach antics. Sorry for the grainy, choppy footage, it was shot from our condo balcony!



The little tyke literally had to be carried away from the ocean. She has been going on and on about "swimming" in the ocean ever since we got home. She doesn't quite get why we can't go back right away. And she needs to read Stella, Star of the Sea every night now. Safe to say she enjoyed her vacation immensely.
