Summary: Alice's dad gave her a snorkel for her birthday, and today she's going to snorkel for the very first time!<br> Narrator: Female<br> <br> Story Begins: 4:12<br> Snorkel Surprise Excerpt:<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> It was a beautiful sunny day on Ahway Island. “Are you excited?” Alice’s mom asked. Alice had just buckled herself into her booster seat in the back seat of the car, but mom wanted to double-check that the seatbelt was fastened properly. Alice raised her arms high so her mom could double-check the belt.<br> <br> <br> <br> “Of course!” Alice cheered. “I love the beach!”<br> <br> <br> <br> Alice’s favorite place to visit was the beach. She knew there were a lot of beautiful and colorful fish that lived in the water, but she had never gotten to see them up close before.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Today’s Meditation: Enjoy the feeling of your body relaxing into the warm sand on a sunny beach.<br> Looking for stories with positive learning moments for your little one?
