Little Miss

This past weekend we packed the kids in the car and drove to the ocean for three wonderful days on the beach. Of course all the preparation and packing required for three days away with little kids leaves a person in need of vacation if one didn't already. In all the last minute shuffle, Wesley was somewhat ignored (compared to her defalt as center of attention) and at one point I found her rummaging through our food basket and finally finding and helping herself to a banana. Little Miss Independent apparently didn't realize she needed to peel the banana before she ate it.


She's been trying to walk on her own recently, too! Someone needs to remind her she is only ten months old!

We always find the ocean so calming and relaxing. The kids are so easily entertained by the waves and ocean creatures and endless stretch of sand.

Little Miss did not want to be held while near the water. She wiggled and complained extensively until we finally just let her eat sand to her hearts content and crawl head on into the waves.

What we don't have pictures for but also contributed to our special weekend: Mommy getting stung by a jelly fish. A green snake outside our cabin. Falling asleep waiting to roast marshmallows. And searching for crabs on the beach at night with flashlights.
