Today we had a very busy day. We started off going to the farmers market to get some produce, then to the farm to play with the animals and get fresh eggs before attending our first music class, and heading to the library for Brooke’s story time. All before noon!
Brooke and I got to go to Florida for a long weekend to visit Ammy, Papa and other family there. We had a really nice trip visiting with everyone. Brooke especially liked going to the Jungle Gardens with Ammy and playing with Skippy.
This Father’s Day was a chill one for AJ because unfortunately he was sick the day before. We started the morning off with him sleeping in and having a breakfast of a cheese omelet with chives from our garden, fruit, and real bacon. Then he opened his second father’s day gift- rain boots! He received a new prana swimsuit before our Sandbridge vacation as part one of his gifts. We went to Five Guys for burgers for lunch, played in the back yard, and had dinner on the patio with ‘CHEESE!’ for dinner. Happy Father’s Day AJ! You are an amazing dad!
I booked us a condo by the beach for 4 nights so we could have a family vacation this summer. We hoped that Alex would do well traveling now that he was older and he had transitioned into a big boy bed. He did a great job sleeping in a twin bed with Brooke in her own twin bed. They had a lot of fun except Brooke was not very happy to be woken up an hour earlier every morning by him poking her in the face and wanting to play (I guess she didn’t realize that Mommy gets up everyday and plays with him until she finally decides to get up). Both kids had a great time at the beach and we had better than predicted weather. Mostly we stayed at our condo complex and went to the beach and pool everyday. Our condo was north facing and had a great view of the ocean and Back Bay. The great thing about Sandbridge is that with the exception of a few restaurants, one store, and one ice cream place, it is largely residential so it is very quiet and peaceful. One night we went to ice cream and the last night we went to a nearby park. We really enjoyed spending time with each other on vacation, it was relaxing and fun for everyone.
Last time I was at Taylor’s I spent $6 on a multi-spray sprinkler head for the kids to play with. Unfortunately, all of the settings except what Brooke calls ‘the baby one’ frighten Alex. The kids still had fun running around with it on the ‘baby’ setting. It was a good way to spend a hot day at home.
