Beach Fun

Last Saturday we went to the beach with our friends! It was sooooo fun! When we first arrived Sadie would not let me put her down. I tried to but she put her feet out so they wouldn't touch the ground as she struggled to attach to me like a monkey. In the process her feet and hands got a little sandy. She whined, "Mommy, I dirty, I dirty." She sat in her beach chair for a little while. Then when the other kids started to play with the sand buckets she got interested. She let me move her to the towel on the ground. From there she worked her way to the sand pails. She had a cautious start with the beach but it wasn't long before she was LOVING it! Eliza loved it!

The weather was perfect. It was around 85 degrees. It was not too hot but it was warm enough for the water to still be comfortable. It was great! Eliza threw a tantrum when we left. Back at the car she screamed because I tried to take her swim suit off and she wanted to go back to the beach. Hey, at least she had a great time. Virginia Beach is near a military base. We enjoyed seeing lots of military planes showing off cool stuff in the sky. A pirate ship showed up. We had great company too!

Afterwards we cleaned up at our friend's parent's home. Then we had dinner at Red Lobster...Endless Shrimp! Yummy!! It was a super day! Thanks, Nikki and Ray for inviting us. Thanks to Melissa for showing Eliza all the "stuff at the beach" and for sharing your beach toys! Yesterday I asked Sadie if she liked the beach, the ocean and the sand. She responded, "I liked the sand buckets." :)

Did I mention we had an AWESOME time?

Random Stuff

I am not a cool mom like Nikki, so my poor kids can only "play beach" with the seashells she bought them. They also tip cups upside down in the bathtub and say they are making castles. They don't know what they're missing.









Eliza showed me this and said, "NuNu go night night.... he's so tired." Eliza's so thoughtful; she put him to bed with the Curious George Monkey that she sleeps with.
