Life's a beach!

In September on a Friday after work we went to stay with my Mom for her last night at her timeshare. Dani hung out with Grammie and PawPaw Bruce while I got to go for a moonlit stroll on the beach with John. The next day we headed to my brother Joel's house to see him and his lovely wife MaryAnn who is due in Feb. We stayed at the house for a bit and Dani made friends with Cody their old but playful pup.



Then we walked to a local diner where MaryAnn used to work that has the best food. Dani fell asleep in the stroller on the way there and slept all through lunch. Then we walked the beach back to their house.

Once we got there we all got changed into swimsuits and headed back down to the beach. Joel gave John his first surfing lesson, John got up on his 3rd wave! But, man was he exhausted when he was done! According to him surfing is quite a workout, no wonder Joel and MaryAnn are always in such good shape.

Meanwhile we let Dani play in the sand for the first time. All she wanted to do was eat it! But it was so fun to watch!



Then we took her down to the ocean and she loved it! She started to get a bit angry because Aunt MaryAnn kept picking her up when the waves would come in. Finally the 3 of us ended up sitting in the water as the waves washed around us. Dani would smile and splash when they came in, then sit and stare and watch them go out.

Then we went back to the house, rinsed in the outside shower and hit the pool for a while. After all the water fun we went in to change out of our swim suits and you should have seen the sand in the bottom of her suit!



All in all, a fantastic weekend!
