As you can see, Kaili loved her first visit to the ocean. Amazingly too, she loved walking in the sand in her bare feet. However, this was the only time she voluntarily walked into the ocean. There were several other visits where she didn't want anything to do with the ocean. She much more preferred playing in the sand. We did manage to get in the water a couple of times -- met with some resistance - but once we were in the water - she was fine. We look forward to many more vacations to the beach.
