Beach Weekend.......

Hope you all had a great 4th of July, we sure did. On Friday, we were at our beach ALL DAY!!! Morgan woke up early and went down to set our stuff up, so we would have a spot. He said he heard people say they were down there around 6:30 setting up. NOPE, too early! Either way he set up in a great spot. After he set up he came back and made us his big breakfast (I LOVE THIS MAN!). After we stuffed ourselves on star pancakes, eggs and fruit we packed all the snacks and went down to our spot. We were down there 5 hours!!! Thank goodness for sunscreen and the umbrellas! Look at this little beach babe.....

After we came back, showered, and napped we went over to a friend's house to visit. There were puppies there that were actually her size and she went crazy!!! She kept saying, "puppa!!!" and kept trying to pick them up. She was even able to walk them on a leash. This kept her busy for a little over an hour... WIN!! I'm surprised she didn't try to take one home. (Chili sniffed her up and down when we got home later). Look at little Miss Liberty and her crown......

From there we headed back down to our spot on the beach for fireworks. By this time it was close to 9pm and Madeleine was getting a little cranky, so we had to bust out the big guns.... Ice cream! It's a holiday, right?!?! That satisfied her for the rest of the night and we were able to watch the fireworks. It was nice to lounge on the beach and watch fireworks all along the coast. It was a pretty sight! We thought Madeleine might get scared by the loud noises but she watched for about 10 minutes, and then started burying her feet in the sand. Hey, whatever kept her entertained!

Saturday we headed to Coronado Island, Breakers beach, to hang out with some marine friends. I had hoped that Madeleine would have napped during the car ride because it was a little over an hour trip. NOPE! So, I was expecting a toddler melt down at any moment, but she surprised us and did pretty well. I think the fact that there were a lot of kids helped us. Again, another long day at the beach, but a fun one! I even managed to play a few rounds of flip cup with Madeleine on my hip (classy!). I got no pictures because my phone died :(

Sunday was spent sleeping in and relaxing. Madeleine was so exhausted from the weekend that she fell asleep in her trike/scooter. Excuse her hot mess-ness, she had watermelon and a Plum Go bar on her ride.

Well, that was our weekend. I've gotta go get in a run and burn some of these calories off! UGH! See ya'll soon.
