Manami at the beach!

..This past July 4th I decided to take Manami with me to the annual beach party my aunt and uncle throw at their beach house out on Folly Beach. Since it was a holiday weekend, I knew there would be HOARDES of people out there if I waited to go at a normal time. So I decided to greet the sun and arrive EARLY.... like 6:30 am early. XD

 

I parked at my aunt and uncles house which is right across the street from the beach and walked out to the very end of the beach where the river comes in to meet the ocean and there is no one around.

 

I had full use of the entire area without any distractions. So Manami and I set up camp and went to getting some pics taken. We got to the end of the beach around 7:00am and left there around 9:30. I took over 100 pics in total. Most of these are up on my Flickr page so if you want to see them all, please check here:

 

 

Now, on to the pictures!

 

 

The Edge of America! This is looking east into the sunrise. This was right around 7am.

 

 

 

Manami set up her little spot right away.

 

 

"Hey Papa, it's nice out here this early! We have the whole beach all to ourselves!"

 

Yes we do dear. We can do whatever you like.

 

 

"I wanna go down to the water! I've never seen the ocean before!"

 

Well then, lets change that.

 

 

"Awesome! Let's go!"

 

 

"WOW! It's HUGE!! So much water!"

 

 

I wish I could have gotten her to stand on her own but it was too windy and she keep wanting to fall over. So I had to use a thigh stand buried in the sand to hold her up for this pic.

 

 

"Oh look! A seashell! Can I keep it?"

 

Of course you can. You can show it to your sisters when we get home.

 

 

"Why are all these rocks here Papa?"

 

These are breakwaters to help with beach erosion.

 

"Ahh... ok."

 

 

 

"What's that out there in the water?"

 

That's the Folly Beach lighthouse. It used to keep ships from getting to close to shore but it hasn't been operating for a long time now.

 

 

"It's time for snacks now!"

 

Ok then, I'd like something to drink please.

 

 

"Here Papa! I brought you this!"

 

It's a bit early but that's fine, it's a holiday anways.

 

"It's always beer time!"

 

 

I see you brought some nice snacks too.

 

"Yep! I got some bento and salmon and sweets too!"

 

 

"Ahhh, after a snack it's time to lay out."

 

 

The sun is getting brighter now so Manami breaks out her sunglasses.

 

 

 

After resting up, Manami decides to go and see whats in the sand dunes. Here she finds some flowers similar to Morning Glories. When we first got here, all these flowers were closed. And about 45 minutes later, they were all open.

 

 

"The dunes are really cool Papa!"

 

 

"It's so nice at the beach!"

 

 

"Lets go over to the big wooden stuff next."

 

If you mean the old growings then ok.

 

 

 

These old "growings" as the locals call them were also breakwaters at one time and held back water from eroding the sand dunes. You can see the dunes have almost completely covered them now.

 

 

"I want to go down below and see these from underneath."

 

Ok then.

 

 

"It's almost like a boardwalk under here.... very nice."

 

 

"Why haven't you brought me here before Papa?"

 

Well, as you know, it's a good drive from home to here and it's also hot most of the time. Plus, it's usually crawling with people so I figured it wasnt such a great time to visit unless I could have you here with no distractions.

 

"So you're saying you wanted it to be just us two?"

 

Yes, that's what I mean.

 

"Awwwww! That's so cute Papa! Hee hee!"

 

 

A short walk down the beach gets us into the dead tree area where the old woods got swallowed up by the sand.

 

 

 

The lighting out here was so nice. Manami just seemed to glow out here.

 

 

 

Here she is at the edge of the woods. She looks so small and frail from here.

 

 

People carve stuff on this dead tree but I can't really recall what it said. Nothing prophetic for sure.

 

 

"Hey Papa! Take my picture here!"

 

Ok, I gotcha.

 

CLICK

 

 

"Now over here!"

 

CLICK

 

"Okay Papa, lets go back to the house now. I want to wash off the salt and sand.

 

Alright, we *have* been out here for almost 2.5 hours so I can use a break. Let's pack up.

 

 

Back at the house, Manami decides to wander around and see all the cool things under the beach house. Here she is with some bright pink flowers.

 

 

"Papa! Look at this frog! He has a shiny ball! I can see myself in it! And you too! Hahahahaa!"

 

 

 

"Papa, this sign is cool!"

 

Yes it is, it was painted by your Aunt Amy, my sister. She painted it on an actual slate roof shingle that was used on colonial houses in downtown Charleston hundreds of years ago.

 

 

 

"Why does this guy have bones coming out of his nose?"

 

Ha ha... that's a Tiki Idol and they are to help keep bad vibes away and bring good luck. Amy also painted this one on a slate shingle.

 

"Wow, she's good!"

 

 

 

"Hey! We have these at our house too! It's a hydrangea, right Papa?"

 

Yes! Good job Manami! You remembered!

 

"Well, it was the first flower I saw at my new home so it's very special to me.

 

Aww... that's so sweet Manami!

 

 

"Look at me Papa! I climbed way up here all by myself!"

 

You sure are a good climber dear.

 

"Yes I am! Now get me down please."

 

 

"Ok Papa, I'm ready for a nap. I'm beat. Pick me up!"

 

Alright Manami, we have had quite a busy day so I can't blame you for being tired.

 

"Thanks for bringing me out tho, I had a great time with you Papa."

 

You're welcome my dear. I had a great time too. =3

 

 

 

So that was our July 4th holiday at the beach! I hope you enjoy the pics!

Some great photos you have there, very enjoyable post. It looks like you two had a good time. I agree the best (perhaps only) time to enjoy the beach is when it's completely or at least mostly deserted.

 

She has a nice beach setup there, although I'm compelled in the name of avoiding DD skin cancer to let her know that the umbrella should be positioned between her and the sun.

 

I guess since you started drinking at 7:00AM or so it's a good thing that DD sized beer probably won't get you too far along the path to being intoxicated.

Those are really gorgeous photos. Manami is so cute in them. I am glad you were able to spend a special day with her at the beach.

I love these pictures! Especially the sunrise shots. They are all great and the story is cute. Manami has quite a nice little setup on the beach. It's funny to see you in the mirror ball. Hope you put some sunscreen lotion on her. The sun can be bad for the skin, like scripple said.

Ah! Awesome photos! Just from looking at them I felt like the holidays. And yes, beach is the most enjoyable when it's empty ^^ You can feel like a God I love her bikini. You have really nice spot in SC! I wonder to go there too... ^^

 

Wow, your family is so lucky to have a house near ocean. It's almost like a dream!

 

Hmm... I went into your flickr and now you really made me go on SC's beach >.>"

Thank you sir! I appreciate that! I personally don't mind being on the beach when people are around but when taking Manami out there, it's best to avoid crowds especially if kids are involved. Last thing I need is a crumb snatcher trying to grab her.

 

It was early so the umbrella wasn't really needed just yet. Thankfully by the time she DID need it, she wanted to go back to the house. And no, even if I drank a case of DD beers, it wouldn't get me trashed. I don't even think Manami will get a buzz from a case anymore. She has a higher tolerance than me.

Thank you very much! I am glad you liked the pics and her bikini. I got it from Cool Cats.....they have really nice swimsuits there. And yes, it's nice to have some family on the beach. They have owned the place since the early 70's so our family was always on the beach when I was growing up. I like the water.

Thank you! The setup was fun to put together. It's the first time I was able to use the bag and the picnic basket. I think they worked out well. I wished I had a mini bottle of sunscreen because I wanted some shots of her asking me to put some on her while she laid facedown with no top on. But I didn't have any so I didn't do those shots. Nice to see you and Scripple so worried about her getting burned!

 

Those are really gorgeous photos. Manami is so cute in them. I am glad you were able to spend a special day with her at the beach.

 

Thanks! It was really nice to have Manami out there alone. She's much more calm and sweet when she's alone. I'm glad we got to go out there as well.

I never noticed Manami being so BIG before!

I hope you're not calling her fat because that's just mean....

 

 

What did you mean tho? She's a standard DDdy girl.

Let me rephrase that: her BOOBS are just plain HUGE in your pix!

 

Probably the top she's wearing!

Wow, subtle you're not.

 

 

It has to be the top because that is the default standard DDdy bust on her. I can't afford Peach Pai for her....

 

 

yet.

I was being subtle. But, then you thought I said that she was FAT.

Really nice photos of your morning at the beach with Manami. She looks so cute having fun and playing around. As you know, really beautiful shot of the sun rise! You could frame that one!!!

 

She does look a bit more busty in that outfit for some reason - not that I'm complaining at all.

Thanks! Your camera is just fantastic... it's really helped me step up my photo skills.

 

I may just print that sunrise one of her up and frame it here at home. I do love how it looks.

 

And I have no clue why she looks so much bigger in this outfit! I really didn't see it until a few people asked about it. Maybe it's a Wonder Bra for DD's?

I am very late commenting on this! Sorry!

 

Manami looks very nice in her swimsuit! Looks like you both had fun on the beach. I have this same swimsuit for my girls. Aoi-chan really likes it, it's her two favorite colors, but she doesn't fill it out quite as well as Manami!

Heh, its fine sir! I'm glad you liked the pics! That swimsuit is really cool, I like it a lot. I also have the same style in black and white. I can bet Manami fills it out a bit more.... Aoi doesn't quite have the same frame as her. But I bet she still looks good in it!

Maybe Manami fills out the swimsuit more just by her sheer willpower and desire? HAHA!

HA! That's very possible because anytime she's wearing something even slightly revealing, she makes sure to WORK IT.
