What could be more fun than a day at the beach with Daddy? Enjoying the sun and surf with Daddy – and a new friend!

Pack a beach bag and join Baby for that quintessential summer activity: a day at the seashore. With a new little pal in tow, it’s time to put on sunscreen (rubby, rubby), set up the umbrella (ouch, this sand is hot!), splash in the waves (run away from the big ones!) and build a sandcastle (extra hands help!). And don’t forget ice cream! Thankfully, there’s a shower for rinsing off that sandy, sticky stuff. There’s so much to do and see that it might be a challenge to get these babies back home! Little ones off on a summer vacation will soak up this fun adventure, and fans of the beloved Baby will be tickled to meet an adorable new character.
