 Paradise Island 
 We also spent some time at the
      beach on Paradise Island. This was my first beach trip, and we went to the
      same beach that Mommy and Daddy  visited on their honeymoon. They
      said that the water was very clear and calm then. On this day, dark clouds
      were approaching the island, and the water was very rough. 
 
 Mommy and I sat in the sand for a while and played. I liked to pick up the sand
      and let it fall through my fingers. Mommy buried my feet in the sand, and
      I wiggled my toes out, smiling. Then, I raked the sand into piles with my
      fingers. I liked playing in the sand! 
  
Since the water was too rough for me to swim,
Daddy took me  to the ocean to
      put my feet in the water. The waves were big and loud. 
A little bit of water washed up on my feet, and it scared me. I cried
      and cried. I don’t think I like big waves. 
  After the waves scared me,
      Grandpa and I sat in the sand while everyone else played in the ocean. It’s
      neat how Grandpa always wants to do the same things that I want to do. 
  
I was tired after my
action- packed day, so
      I decided to take a nap.  While I slept, the big people thought that
      the storm was getting close so they decided that we should go back to the
      ship. Within an hour after we returned to the ship, it rained very
      hard.  After I woke up from my nap, I watched the rain from our
      balcony.
