Today was an AMAZINGLY PERFECT day at the beach!
The sun was shining, the skies were blue, the water was a comfortable temp . . .
and both kiddos were on their BEST behavior!!!
We got out to the beach a little before 10 a.m. this morning and were excited to find Barbie Gramma and Pop Pop there already. Soon we were headed down to the beach where Mommy, Daddy and Alli all jumped in the water (okay, Mommy and Alli waded up to our waists, while Daddy jumped in!). Eli is still working on getting comfortable on the beach so he stayed on land and threw rocks before begging to go back up, which he did and played with Barbie Gramma, Pop Pop and Great Pop (who showed up while we were swimming). Soon, we all went up for some lunch and then got quite a show . . .
Look who decided to sun bathe on our dock while we were having lunch!
Eli, Alli and Barbie Gramma were very exicted (as were the rest of us!)
According to our neighbor, it is likely that little seal pup was born the day before!
We even caught him having a little lunch :-)
Once the seals jumped back in the water and swam away, the kids decided to run through the sprinkler.
This handsome little man had his 2 year check up yesterday and is up to 35.5 inches and 27 lbs.
He insisted on going shirtless to be like Daddy ~ too cute!
Alli was shirtless because she wanted to run through the sprinkler too but didn't want to get her shirt wet
(her suit top was cold and wet from swimming earlier and she didn't want to put it back on)
Great Pop loved snuggling these two and they were so excited he was up from his nap!
So here is our former introvert . . .
She now performs her very own songs and dances
If you need any entertainment, she's your gal!
Just check out those moves.
The grandparents all left in the afternoon and we enjoyed the rest of the day heading back down to the water for some rock throwing before heading back up to play in the yard, pool and sprinkler. After dinner and baths, we made our way home. Not surprisingly, Eli was out within 5 minutes of leaving the beach. Alli stayed up but crashed as soon as we put her to bed. It truly was a perfect day!
Sounds like a great day! Love that the seals stopped by! How cool is that! I showed Lauren the pics of the seals and she told me the baby seal's name was Lauren. ha ha! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sight! The kids will always remember that! Who knew there were seals in the water? Love Alli dancing and entertaining...Elleanor has taught her well and would be proud! :-)
ReplyDeleteI see a future cheerleader in Alli. I know that makes the family not so happy...but after all...that was Barbie Gramma's only claim to fame in her high school years. I loved it, and wouldn't have changed a minute of it. Go! Fight! Win!
