Finally! Beach Time!

Here are the beach pictures that I promised.  We had a wonderful week, complete with amazing weather that we didn't expect.  I had packed all kinds of movies and games in case we were rained in for a few days.  The week went by extremely fast and we are all sad when it was time to leave.  By the end of the week, we had finally figured out the best sand, salt and baby eyes combination so that Callie could stay out longer without getting something in her eyes and then needing to go in for a bath and nap.  She loved playing in the sand about as much as she loved playing in the water.  And chasing seagulls with Grampie was probably her most favorite thing.  We enjoyed lots of good eatin' out, although some nights we had to take turns entertaining a restless Callie.  Matt and I also got to enjoy a date night dinner out and I am not sure Callie even noticed we were gone!  On our way home, we stopped for our traditional after beach visit with Pa.  And then we traveled home to our three fuzzy boys who seemed mildly disappointed when we came through the door.  I think they were hoping it was Miss Ginny and her cans of tuna instead!  It was a great week for all!

Inside activities included building blocks with Grampie...

...repeatedly emptying her drawers...

...and looking at the pretty girl in the mirror!

Here she is last year trying to look in the mirror.  She has grown so much!

Outside activities...well, they are pretty obvious so I guess I don't need to narrate them all!

All that fun makes for one very sleepy girl!

And a quick stop on the way home makes for one very happy Pa and Callie Mae!
