The Katwijkse Beach

It is Summer! We have to go to the beach, my mama says. My first day on the beach.

Wow, I love the beach! First I was a bit scared, but now I love it.

Today is very warm, but along the water it is nice. I like the water and the waves. My mama holds my hands and I run around.

I go deeper and deeper. But then suddenly the waves were a bit high, and I didn't like that. But my mama picked me up and dropped me in the shallows again.

And off I went again. I studied how shells are carried in and out of the water by the waves. And how water splashes under your feet.

The only thing we didn't bring is a ball. On the beach and no ball? I hold on to the ball of our neighboors! They are a friendly bunch and let me have it, they see I really want it.

When we go home mama and papa are burnt, but I am not with my factor 50.
