Settling In
“Tell the water man not to get salt water in your child’s eyes.” -- Zack Haswell
Zack saw the ocean for the first time. We had to show him how to run into the waves, jump them and let them hit him. He soon got the hang of it and couldn’t get enough of it.
We got to the beach around 9 a.m. and rented chairs. It took Zack a few minutes to figure out how much fun it was to play in the surf and then he was hooked. He ran forever on the beach, played in the sand and had a ball. He found other kids his age and bossed them around.
We played at the beach until about 11:30 a.m. and then came in and showered. We went to South Beach Marina for lunch at the Salty Dog and Zack got to play on the playground. We then went to the grocery store and came back for a much needed nap.
After nap time, we headed out to visit Harbour Town again where we climbed the lighthouse – he wasn’t too impressed but made it all 114 steps. The highlight was again playing on the treehouse playground until he had a meltdown and couldn’t handle it anymore. When he yelled at the kids, “No one can swing on my baby swing” we knew it was time to go get something to eat and head home.
At dinnertime, we picked up a pizza and gave Zack some downtime. He informed us that Emmy (a classmate at school) was his girlfriend and that Julianna (another classmate) was a hottie.
After he was recharged from dinner, we headed out for a walk on the beach at sunset where he ran and he ran and he ran.
