Sierra's first trip to the beach

So we decided to take a family vacation to the beach. The last time Sierra was at the beach was when I was six months pregnant...lol...short story she loved it. The weather was kinda crappy, but luckily the rain held out and it was just overcast. I took tons of pictures, so I'm posting a link to my myspace account so everyone can view all of them.

Newho, while we were walking on the beach she decided that she was a big girl and refused to hold our hands...I can't believe how big she's getting. She was amazed at all the shells...there were MILLIONS of them all over the place. Of course we picked up a few to bring home. She tried to chase the birds...lol..my silly little girl. It was cute though. She's still a little unstable with walking fast, and imagine that on the sand. It was very cute. We walked pretty far and Sierra decided that she didn't want to walk anymore. It was naptime. She had enough with the walking and just gave up. lol...we tried several times to get her to stand up and walk and nope she didn't want to. Literally she had spagetti legs. Finally we just gave up and carried her. Definitely ready for naptime.

After she woke up we tried the pool. Keep in mind that this kid hates baths lately. Not sure why, cause before she used to love baths...but nope over the past few months, she screams when the water starts to run (BUT she LOVES showers???? LOL). Anyways, she did okay. It took her a few minutes to get used to the water, but finally she came around. She really loved the lazy river...that's when she got to just float around with daddy.

Broadway at the Beach was so much fun. Sierra got to make her first bear, well, bunny. She has several animals from Build a Bear, but it's always been mommy or daddy that makes them for her. This time she picked out what she wanted (with a little help from mommy) and stuffed it herself. Daddy helped her pick out an outfit and she got to dress her bunny. She was very proud of it...she carried that bunny around the rest of the day and slept with it that night.

The one day that was rainy we decided to go to the aquarium. It was so much fun. Sierra was all over the place. She was just amazed by everything. We've got a small fish tank at home and she can sit there and just watch the fish swim, well, just imagine the big tunnel where fish are all around you. The pictures really tell it all.

All in all we had a great time. Can't wait to go back, just wish it were sooner than later. Still tons more to update on, but for the moment I've got to clean my kitchen from lunch time. Kiddo is sleeping, better take advantage of it while I can!!

Love to all!!
