We went to the zoo with Sara and Lily on Monday and enjoyed many animals and just a chance to be outside. There is also a park outside the zoo played at a bit before eating our packed lunches. All of this must have tired Lorelei out because she took a great nap!
Tuesday Lorelei and I headed out to Sandbridge. This is the "non touristy beach", as we call it, that we love to go to, but is a further drive than the normal oceanfront. It was going to get to about 70 degrees, so had to seize our chance for the trip during the warmer weather. There is a playground out there as well, so we played on that and then went out to enjoy the beach after.
On the playground Lorelei is getting so good at going up steps on her own. Thought you would like to see so have a few clips for you.
Oh and the cool thing was at the playground there was another family and the little girl looked about the same age as Lorelei, so of course I asked her age (the worlds most popular question when you have children) and she said "oh 14 months" and I said "oh they are the same age" and she said "Sept 2nd" and my jaw dropped! They had the same birthday! Such a small world. And also the little girl's name was Lily! :) Easy for us to remember. The family also brought their huge curly haired dog with them, which naturally made Lorelei's day even better!
Chasing the lone seagull who was really hoping we brought snacks for him.
After a while at the park we headed out to play in the sand. I was hoping we would do okay staying out of the water. We stayed far enough back that Lorelei didn't venture to the water. This means we can keep going anytime it is a nice day! She just enjoyed some time in the sand and we had the entire beach to ourselves. It was great therapy for me to have our feet in the sand and hear the waves and great fun for her to play in God's gigantic sandbox. :)
That night was our MOMS club family night at Chick-Fil-A. There were only three moms there with families, but it was still great to get out at night for once! It is also officially family night at Chick-Fil-A, so that meant they had kids activities and also a free kids meal with one adult meal. Yes we intentionally planned this on this day. :) Anyway, there was a lady making balloon animals, which we had to stand in line FOREVER to get, but at least we had some fun as well. Lorelei got a dog of course. Oh and we can't forget the cow! They had their cow mascot there and at first Lorelei was a bit hesitant, but he was so good and was even playing peek-a-boo with her. She LOVED him after that.
Low: the line for the balloon and craziness of chick-fil-a
High: Lorelei didn't eat ANY sand at the beach!; Lor's long nap, two days in a row!
Way to go on the steps Lorelei!!! So impressive!! And she even went down them too!
