Beach Day

Last Sunday I packed up the family and joe drove us out to the beach. The four of us had a very lovely afternoon. The weather was perfect, not too hot or too cold.



Audrey loved putting her feet in the water.


Olivia loved playing in the sand. Joe and I dug a big hole and Olivia decided to climb on in.


I am sure glad that I had my sunglasses with me. Someone got a lot of use of them.


Audrey found a sand dollar and was very excited.



The girls had fun making a sand castle. But I think the best part was fetching the water.





Olivia was too tired to walk on the way home. She has too much fun making sand angels.








Olivia enjoyed a snack while wrapped up in a towel after a face plant into the water.


We cannot wait to go to the beach again!

Olivia's Birthday Party


Olivia celebrated her third birthday at peekaboo play land with her friends back in April. She talked about having birthday party months before her birthday, and was very excited to invite her friends from school.



Olivia's actual birthday was Saturday April 14th, the day we boarded the Fantasy ship from the Disney cruise line. I knew that I needed to throw Olivia a party, but did not want to host 40 people at my house the week we returned.


Peekaboo play land was the perfect venue. We had a Friday night party from 6-8pm. All I needed to do was bring the food and drinks.


Olivia loved it! She has so much fun playing with her friends. Here she is smiling with Silvie and Lucy.


There was a huge bounce house and slide to play on.


Charlotte had fun on another climbing structure.


Audrey had her face painted princess style. This is the only picture I managed to get.


Olivia the kitty cat had a great time. I picked out a pretty purple dress for her to wear at her party. But she decided to wear a princess shirt that she pulled out of her friends cubby at school. She can be very frustrating.


We tried to get a good group shot of everyone.


I think these 2 are the best.


Everyone loved the cake.


The best part about the party was not having to clean up!


At home the girls had fun opening up all of Olivia's gifts. All of our family and friends were very generous.


The early the next morning Olivia woke up and asked for cake for breakfast.

Happy birthday my sweet Olivia!
