You did wonderful on the way down. After being awake for about 1.5 hours you went to sleep and slept for most of the ride to the zoo. You weren't very excited to go to the zoo at first you just wanted to go to the beach, but once we got there and you saw the animals you were ok. We went in to see some monkeys and other creatures and then went into the Children's Zoo. You loved it in there. There was a mini-coral reef fish tank, butterflies, an ant display thing, ducks to feed and goats to brush. You then tried to go on a really high slide and you almost made it up to the top. I was so proud of you. You tried to hard. It was then time for lunch and then time to go. When we left we stopped in the store and you bought a canteen to take to the beach. We haven't actually taken it to the beach yet. :)
Once we got here you were so excited we went right to the beach. Daddy dropped you and I off so that you could see go and see the beach right away even before going to the house. We ran down to the beach and you put your feet in the water. Your excitement - was so amazing to see. It was pure joy.
After the beach we went to the house and got set up. You helped put clothes away and unpack other stuff. The whole time asking when we could go to the beach. So we took you. We didn't stay long but went with everyone. Again - you were so excited. You and Isa jumped and jumped. The plan was to not get wet - but that didn't happen. You didn't have your bathing suit on so you didn't go swimming - but you got wet. We then came back to the house, ate, and it was time for bed.
The following day you asked to go back to the beach as soon as your woke up. It was so cute. I loved the amount that you loved the beach. After breakfast and a run to the store we finally went to the beach. Amy, Steve, Nata, Zoe, Isa, Gamma, Courtney, Jay, Mommy, Daddy, Aiden and you all went. Once there we had to set up but you couldn't wait. You just wanted to get into the water again. So we sent you to the water with Aunt Courtney while we set up. You jumped and screamed and smiled and giggled and jumped some more. It was so wonderful to watch. It made me smile from ear to ear. After watching your daddy struggle with the tent (it was pretty funny) I came out and got in the water with you. We held hands and jumped and ran together. The wave would come up and you would run away screaming in delight. You would then run back into the water only to do it again. Nata, Zoe, and Isa all had boogie boards and you wanted one - but we didn't have one for you. So you used Isa's Nemo board and took turns.
In the afternoon, we ate lunch and then took naps. You napped for a long time - and therefore didn't sleep at night. But you needed the nap. After nap we went out to the store and you got your own boogie board. We looked at 3 different places but ended up with one that has fish on it. You were so excited and wanted to try it out right away. We also bought a few blow up kiddie pools which you played with both on the porch and at the beach.
Once home it was dinner time and birthday time. We sang Happy Birthday to Lysander, Aiden, Daddy, and me. It was nice to have birthdays with everyone. You loved the cake, especially the frosting. I think you ate your own frosting and Aiden's frosting. It was then snuggle time and bed time. Bed...it didn't go so well. Your brother had gone to bed before you and was sound asleep. When you went in to bed you didn't really go to sleep and flopped around waking up your brother. Eventually you did go to sleep though.
