We left on Saturday around 2:00 and got there just in time for dinner. I was a little worried about the 3 hour drive with Ella but we took the Michael Jackson DVD with us and she also got in about an hour nap. The girls did great.
That night Cirdan and I headed to Walmart to pick up some dinner and food for the remaining days. That night was HOT! It was a pretty uncomfortable night's sleep. Made me really appreciate my air conditioning that we have at home.
On Sunday morning we woke up and got ready for the beach. Then we headed down before the crowd to claim our spot. The girls had a blast playing in the sand. Kaiya took swimming lessons last summer and has been in lessons since school got out this year. She felt comfortable with the water and loved swimming in the lake. Ella watched her for a while and decided to give it a try. The water wasn't freezing but it was cold... that didn't matter to the girls. Ella was shivering but still didn't want to get out.
Ella wont ever get enough of her Michael.
Kaiya gathered a bunch of rocks at the beach. I didn't know what she was doing but when we got home she set up shop. She made a sign that said Rockes (Rock-es) For Sale with pricing. She hassled us the rest of the weekend to buy her rocks that she found. She is a entrepreneur in the making!
On Monday the weather changed and became very windy. There was hardly anyone at the beach, we decided to head down there anyway. The water wasn't warm so it was especially uncomfortable with the wind. The only good thing was the big waves it made. Kaiya braved the waters and soon after Nate and Amy jumped in. They seeemed to be having so much fun that Cirdan also joined in on the fun.
My parents, Emma, Ella and I sat on the beach area freezing and annoyed by the super wind.
The girls managed to get a nap in despite the winds.
My mom and Ella walked over to feed the ducks.
Waiting for a wave...
After Cirdan played in the water he realized that he had the brand new wireless drive in his pocket for internet. He dried it out as much as he could and it still worked when we got back to the house! Sooooo Lucky!
That night we hung out at the house and played a couple games of BINGO.
Tuesday we all got up and started to pack our bags and the car. Nate and Amy left earlier so that Nate could get to work. After we got the car loaded we decided to go into town so that Cirdan and Kaiya could ride on the go carts. We had Subway for lunch and took it down to the water to eat. Meema took the kids over to the playground to play and get out some energy before the ride home.
The girls enjoyed beating on Papa to get him up in the morning...
Do you see Kia?
