Beach-Time

Last week, we got up early and spent the morning at the beach. It was great because it was still very over-cast but not cold and there was no one there(except for 100+ Junior Lifeguards doing their training. Um, that workout is no joke! I think I would have died half-way through it. These were kids ranging from 8-18 and it was pretty cool to see). Ben and Emily had a blast playing in the surf with Dan but Callie was a little disconcerted by the sad, cold water and instability the surf had to offer her. She much preferred playing in the sand, and later, exploring the walkway leading to the beach.

Callie's 2nd Birthday

I can't believe my bittiest baby is TWO. We had a day-long, family celebration for the little dolly which started off with a chocolate-chip pancake breakfast, some coloring and present opening. We took them to Happy Hollow where Callie proceeded to embarrass the holy hell out of us by screaming bloody-murder any time she had to wait in line for a ride or get off the ride after it was over. I tend to expect little and forgive much when it comes to toddlers and their outbursts but she was so over-the-top it was hard to grin and bear it! She had fun in between her fits of rage, though, which is all that matters. We had dinner followed by cake and ice cream at home and have many fun, funny pictures from our day=)
