My pictures out of order...ughh! But it perfect because it's my sister and niece....beautiful night....!
Goodbye summer...welcome Autumn...! My cousin decided to make one last trek to the ocean with the girls before summer comes to a close...and as always we were super excited to have her and the girls....Ava just wanted to paddle board schmaddleboard....
As she is sitting here....she's plotting her next move.....
Which is to manuever her way through Kali's legs....soo funny watching Kali try to balance during this....
And SHE DID IT! They both did it actually! hahaa
Her little towboat Ava.
Explaining my gameplan....always planning......lol!
Family unit.
Appetizers and wine before our adventures....
Sweet sugar enjoying her water....
Jumping jumping jumping...in and out of the water...over and over again.....so cute-
Summer plunge!
And so we are off for our little harbor cruise...and poor sweet London must wear this....THING we MUST WEAR....the baby lifevest. She WAS NOT happy at first...and if you look this thing has straps everywhere...a head holder...just looks miserable...but we sang...changed the subject....gave her cookies...lol!
AND then the RAIN CAME DOWN....in buckets on us out of no where....We woke up to very sunny skies...beautiful crisp morning...to clouds that were rolling by. As we're cruising someone said "look it's raining"...and boy did it rain. HAHA. AVA loved it! Well...us girls...(Mom's) trying to keep dry and make sure we had enough warm stuff for the little ones....It was soo funny. Memories for Ava to remember forever....
And then we took her to the beach where she remembers most...just to frolic in the water....search for more clams....jump in and out with Kali...and she managed to find a cool sea snail.....
Meanwhile this little cookie monster, who so miserably had to sit with this contraption on....would shreek with frustration every once in a while....between teething...and all THOSE STRAPS....we would hand her anything that made her smile. And so if it meant the whole sandwich. Here you go London....you can have it. As my belief goes...anything material can be washed or replaced.....
Tori is ever the 16 year old now. I have to say...this was the first ocean day that I didn't see her jump in her suit....playing in the water....instead she opted to stay warm....just waiting for the car drive home...."So she can drive mom home"- The Permit The Permit! Where'd our babies go?!
And so after our water fun in the boat, and paddleboards- We cleaned up for dinner across the street and a quick jaunt over to the mighty beautiful ocean to catch the sunset...the girls got her ready. Can you say Toddler's and Tiara's.? She actually has eye shadow, mascara and lipstick on- LOL! Sorry Lonnie :)
London is happy now....
London and Bill
And so the silly's start.....
While Andrea is making all the Toddler & Tiara hand signals I could barely compose myself. Well...actually not at all. Good laughter is good for us.....
Oh man that was soo funny!
First cousin...second cousin.....
Well Ava...let's say good-bye to summer......1st grader. 10th grader.
Peace and Love...
Surfside September 4th....2011
I was observing her running in circles along the shore...tired as ever....but loving the fresh ocean air....and as I watched her...I imagine...someday she will look back on these nights and remind us of the fun we had....the memories we made... the end of summer going into 1st grade.
And we all prepare for summer to end....for Autumn to peek into our world....
As these Egret birds started to approach I was reminded of their graceful beauty. The free things in life that you get the chance to observe while out by the water...my favorite place to be.
As they flew on I was reminded of what a nice summer we had...the many fun times we shared with friends and family. We've all stayed healthy and safe....I welcome Autumn with open arms this year....for some reason (might be an age thing) I really am looking forward to all things Autumn...the smells...(I already stocked on Bath and Body Works yummy candles and handwashes...-Tip: Smore...& Oatmeal Raisin Cookie...Candles..amazing! ) I've already witnessed the change of the sun at the beach...the sun sets differently on the dock. The sun is shiny on the fading green trees...the ocean has a different glistening effect in Fall.... and I simply love it....Have a great week everyone...go make something happen. If not for yourself, for someone in need. Even if it's a smile to a stranger in need. Cheers! P.S. Happy Labor Day! I'm laboring with the ever so popular Laundry. Lunch menu. Dinner prep for the week. Soccer Rosters. We ALL know the drill right? A prepared and organized mom...is a happy mom. At least in my house.
