Trip to the Beach

Mama's visiting teachers decided it was important for mama and me to get out of the house.  So, one Wednesday morning we went to West Meadow Beach!  Miss Terri came and picked us up.  They had a hard time getting my fancy car seat in the van.  It was fun to watch them.  Miss Terri's kids were great helpers.  Finally we were on our way.  It was past my nap time when we left and in spite of our desire to stay awake, Horsey and I fell asleep before we got there.  The rest of the group left the car VERY QUIETLY so I would not wake up.  Mama waited with me.   

Then I finally woke up!  I was hungry! Mama took me to join the rest of the group and we ate some pears and oatmeal.  Mmmm... pears and oatmeal.  But I was so excited I couldn't eat much.  It was a good thing too 'cause Miss Terri tried to get me to eat dirt.  Mama said no, but Miss Terri said it was bound to happen sooner or later and it might as well be sooner.

Miss Robyn took this picture right after the dirt incident.  Do I look like I want to eat dirt?  Really Miss Terri.  SIGH.... 

(This is also when mama realized how "un-intelligent" her phone is.  Miss Robyn's phone camera is SO much better than mama's!  Dad has been talking about getting "smart phones" and mama has been against it - not wanting to spend the extra money each month - but now, seeing how much better and more clear my adorable pictures COULD be, she is finding herself thinking about it.  But remember, it's not about her, it's all about me and my utter cuteness!)

See - compare the quality - I know it's a different picture but SERIOUSLY!

Here's some good ones of me and mama.  

Mama walked me down to the water.  I LOVE the water!  Splash splash splash!

Ah... got to love a good beach off season.  So much room!

Then it was time to go home.  Miss Terri's kids kept me entertained. 

They gave me this football to hold on the way!  It was so fun!

But soon I wanted out of my seat so mama tried to distract me by the old, "what does a cow say.... what does a pig say..." etc.  It wasn't really working until Miss Terri's kids all joined in with multitudes of "MOOOO's" and "OINK's."  It was AMAZING!  

All in all a great trip to the beach.  Thanks for asking mama to go!  You are awesome Miss Terri and Miss Robyn!
