Last weekend, we had another garage sale to get rid of the rest of our stuff. Not as successful as the previous one but we still got rid of a ton and made some more money! No Toys R Us for Alli this time, at least not with us. She got to have a play date with Ducky Gramma and Papa that day and they took her to Toys R Us and bought her a brand new, princess, big girl bike with training wheels and a matching helmet!!!
To say she loves it would be an understatement :) It took a few rides before she had it figured out but now, she's a pro! She LOVES to ride around the neighborhood and gets going so quickly that she tells us she's "racing" us. Seriously, we have to jog to keep up! Very entertaining.
Yesterday, the weather finally warmed up again and we took full advantage by going to the beach (Treasure Island). Of course, in packing our bag, we forgot the camera so no photos but I assure you, a great time was had by all. Thankfully, Adele had her camera and kindly shared the pictures so we can now show you how much fun we had. We went out after lunch and went straight down to the water. Alli was being a pill so we put her down for a nap and let Eli play on the beach until he kept trying to eat rocks ~ silly boy. We tried to put him down as well but he was not at all interested in the pack-n-play and we didn't want to ruin Alli's nap so we put him in the Bob (stroller), in the shade, facing the water. He LOVED that!!! Chatted and played with his feet for about 20 minutes, then zonked!
When Eli woke up, we put him in his little swim trunks and let him play in the little pool. He had a ball splashing around with toys.
Alli changed into her suit and joined in the fun when she woke up. She had no intention of getting in with him but was happy to play right next to the pool and two passed toys back and forth ;-)
and Alli rode her bike ~ both were quite happy :)
We had a great dinner out there and both kids crashed on the drive home. Guess all that sun and swimming wore them out!
While the kids slept, G and his dad dug clams on the beach.
After deciding they were done with the pool, Eli ate (what's new?)
and Alli rode her bike ~ both were quite happy :)
Today has also been pretty nice so we enjoyed lunch outside and worked in the yard. Alli loves to pull weeds and Eli thinks it is great fun to crawl around on the grass so both had fun.
