Beach trip events

We got to the beach on Sunday around 1:00 pm. We had time to come to the beach!  You find plenty to do and enjoy the waves and sand. We went back to Aunt Lindsey's house and picked up tacos for dinner.  Yesterday was Monday. You got up late - glad you got to sleep- and I went to the grocery store for us. When I got back we had breakfast and came to the beach with Lindsey.  Lindsey's boyfriend, Mark, got in around 1 pm and came and joined us at the beach. You really like him. We needed to get you and Benjamin a nap so we left the beach around 2. We packed peanut butter sandwiches to eat at the beach. Daddy set up a canopy so we have shade for us and especially Benjamin. 
I went to Walmart while you both slept so I could get a new bathing suit. Mark suggested a seafood shack for dinner so we went there. We had to wake you up so we could get to dinner.  You were a little clingy and dinner and wanted to sit in my lap. You told the waitress over and over you wanted a hot dog. When you got it, you didn't eat much of it. After dinner we went to a yogurt shop and you got gummy bears and worms on your chocolate yogurt. It was funny but when we were getting you out of the car dedicate bugging you that you were going to get peas and broccoli on your yogurt and you made a funny face of anger and told him to stop talking. That was so funny to daddy.  He laughed so hard. We came back to the house and you played hard with Mark and enjoyed your fishing pole toy.  We went for a little walk to look at the big beautiful full moon and then went to bed. 

On Tuesday, Benjamin got up around 7 and we were feeding him in our bedroom when you woke up and came and joined us. You wanted to watch television in our room. Aunt Lindsey went and got us bagels while I took Benjamin for a little walk around the neighborhood. When I got back, you were eating your waffle and then we packed up and headed for the beach again. Daddy wanted to try out aunt Lindsey's paddleboard so he took that out in the ocean for a little bit. He did great for his first time!  You saw him out there and wanted to go out to the water to get him but I had to catch you and make sure you had your puddle jumper on. I made sure Benjamin had his bottle while Aunt LIndsey and Mark played with you in the water. You like the waves except for when you get splashed in the face and then you want to come back in. We have some toys for you to play with so you enjoy the bucket and shovel and making sandcastle's to knock down.   Right where the canopy was set up is a little water way that is very shallow and you played in that area a lot today. You and I went for a running race down the beach and stopped and we drew in the sand. I was mostly drawing what you were telling me to draw. I do our family, your passy, a baby passy, your bathing suit and people walking by. aunt Lindsey and Mark had to leave around noon because she is working at two this week. Benjamin was getting fussy because it's hard for him to sleep here. I took lots of pictures and hope I got a few good ones of you. Daddy blew up a beach ball and you and he played with it on the beach and in the ocean. We went back to the house and got you both bathed and daddy got you to sleep while I fed Benjamin. Right now you both are sleeping and I took a bike back down to the beach and I'm journaling. The breeze is blowing so nicely today and it's so peaceful to just sit here and think about the memories we are making. For some reason I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and I can't seem to snap out of it but I'm so grateful for this beautiful day. When I'm down here by myself, I miss you and Benjamin and daddy and wish you were all here with me. When I think of you I almost start crying happy tears because I'm so thankful for you Sam. You are so friendly and it's so neat watching you interact with adults and children. You go up to little kids that are playing on the beach and want to make friends with them. You are such a sweet boy and so funny!
