Way Back When-sday

This was way back in the fall of 2003, when we lived in Washington. We visited a beautiful area called Deception Pass, where we played on the beach and enjoyed the breathtakingly beautiful views. It was really fun. Olivia was 1 1/2 years old, the age where a bucket and a bit of sand can entertain them for hours on end. Come to think of it, that stage can last for quite a few years! Kids just universally love the beach, it seems.

So she was having fun, getting wet and sandy, and eventually ended up in just a swim diaper, which didn't bother her one bit. I love this picture because the adults in the background are in jeans and coats, and she is in just a swim diaper. The cold didn't bother her at all, though. She was having a blast!

Here is a "before" picture where you can see her cute face.

It's hard to believe Ben will be this age in just a few months.
