We made it to the beach this year! On Sunday. It was cloudy and overcast but we had a good time. Amelia wanted to play in the water despite the COLD water and big waves. Her lips were turning blue at one point so no more water play. She dug in the sand with Daddy and her friends Jake and Lucas.
Here's her sorry attempt at a smile. She wanted to go back into the water. 
My uncle and family rent a cottage a block away from the beach in Rhode Island for a week. We take a drive and enjoy the day with them every year. This year was extra special because it was Josh's first time at the beach. He enjoyed the sand but not the water. Too cold.
Baby Josh with his Mommy (my cousin).
And back at the cottage, relaxing. Amelia with my uncle (Josh's Grandpa and Amelia's great uncle, I guess) and Josh.
We had a great time. Can't wait for next year!
I am getting ready to go on another mini vacation. Last one for a while. We are all headed up to Canindaigua, NY for a tractor/antique construction show. Our hotel is right on one of the Finger Lakes so we'll have some fun. But I do have to bring my work laptop with me so that I can log in a couple of times and check my email and make sure things are being addressed. So part vacation/part work time. But we'll have some fun.
Enjoy your week!

Poor Punkie-- you need to take her some place tropical so can enjoy herself in the water! (And you can lay on a lounge chair and drink something frothy and read.) I went to the beach in Massachusetts once, and couldn't figure out why no one was in the water until I dipped my toes in-- BRRRRRRR.
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your trip!
Awww, poor Miss Punkie -- blue lips means COLD!!! It looks like she managed to have a good time anyway!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day. Looks like you all had tons of fun, despite Punkie's blue lips ☺
ReplyDeleteHope your next trip (whew, you've been everywhere this summer) is exciting. Good luck getting work done on vacation - it didn't happen for me!
Summer wouldn't be summer without the sand and sea! Unfortunately the weather has been a bit cold and rainy back there. But still fun I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time. Poor Punkie and those blue lips. lol She is still cute even if she was freezing. Tell her we must get photos.
ReplyDeleteAlthough she had blue lips...I am sure she had fun. Through my own mothering experiences, I have actually decided blue lips means they are having so much fun that they do not care how cold they get. It is nice to have family time.
