Memorial Weekend - Day 3

The blue iguana is the Cayman Islands largest native land animal. The resort had several "intruders" and Little was fascinated by them. As soon as she spotted one in the distance, she would run towards them.
 By now we had spent plenty of time in the pool; however, every time we took her to the beach, she wanted to be held up in our arms the entire time.
We realized our mistake was to carry her in the beach because then it was nearly impossible to put her down. So on the third day we encouraged her to walk on her own or while holding our hands, but we refused to pick her up. 

She wouldn't move from the border...
Until a staff member of the resort offered her his hand, and she took it. 
Walking on the beach for the 1st time with a total stranger. She wouldn't take our hands
 Eventually the nice staffer had to go back to work, so she had to let him go. After that she walked on her own.
 Little found walking on the sand very stressful so she took a breather with Daddy
 Eventually we got her walking on her own again, but as soon as she spotted her friend she rushed to hold his hand once more
It took a while, but I got her playing in the sand with a little rock
She was not completely happy, but she was making the best out of it
 Until the wave surprised her. Game over for the beach
 To calm her anxiety she needed a drink at the bar. She quickly learned that I would refill her straw cup there and she would actually take it to the bar herself. They made her the best Peach Smoothie.
We finished the day with some more fun pool time
