Super Summer Saturday

Again we had a forecast for a beautiful day so we made sure to make the best of it. This could be our last beach trip for quite a while if the temps stay as high as they have been, SO we had to milk it for all it's worth this weekend. We headed out to our favorite, Sandbridge Beach, first thing in the morning and had the playground almost to ourselves! Lorelei is big into every climbing thing you can try out at the playground these days.



Then we headed to the beach. We had planned to get proffesional pics taken at the beach but now I have hit the "take no pictures of me" phase of pregnancy SO we decided to try and take our own for Lorelei in the dress I was hoping to use. We may end up taking her in or having some taken for her 2 yr but these will have to do for now. If anyone wants any that are not part of the collage let me know and I'll be happy to email!

Anyway, although I prepped her for the idea of getting pictures taken first, this did NOT go over well with the sand princess. She wanted to play with her sand toys and nothing to do with walking to the water so I could snap a few pics first...so as you can see there are a few fit throwing pics included as well. :) Thankfully we did persuade her for a short while but it was pretty quick. I guess its a good thing we weren't paying a professional after all!



And thankfully at least one good smiling one. :)



As for enjoying our beach time...between the playground and beach we managed to stay for 4 hours! Sitting under the umbrella in the shade, you could not ask for more perfect weather...not to mention Lorelei playing happily in the sand so I actually got to relax...we probably could have stayed all day. Lorelei actually could have stayed even longer but by the time we pulled out of the parking lot it was already 1 o clock, her nap time, and we had not even eaten lunch yet! Sooo we knew we better head out. Of all the days not to pack a lunch!? We did make a quick stop to pick up some sweet corn on the way home as well. Then quick lunch, nap...but the day wasn't over yet!

Well she is half corn husker after all...

While Brad ran to pick up some burgers Lorelei and I attempted to shuck the corn.















Way to go mom...you picked the worst place ever for husking corn...the corn cob rolled right off the edge. :( Poor Lorelei crying because her beloved corn fell to a long and painful death. Although it did get a bit smushed we were still able to eat most of it. :)














So we finished our day off eating watermelon while Brad grilled burgers for supper...and of course eating our corn on the cob! Lorelei loved it and actually got most of the corn off. We even got to hear "tales from the Nebraskan" as Brad told us that sometimes all they had for supper was corn! :) Believe me it did not compare to our beloved Nebraska corn though... Think we managed to fit in enough summer fun? ;)
