Her first trip to the beach had a slow start with Maddie refusing to leave the towel. Every time she touched the sand she screwed her face up in disgust. However after a bit of encouragement she was soon crawling everywhere giggling her head off. Definitely a success at this point.

Just as we were going to leave we drove down to the sea (did I mention this is the widest beach in Europe – its enormous) so we could take Maddie for a paddle. She loved it and the only problem was she didn’t want to leave kicking up a real fuss!
