We journeyed down to the Outer Banks for three days (too fast). We caravanned with Fafa. Reminder to self: bring the little potty seat. Fafa was very patient, I am sure more so than us!!
Sunrise with Amelia!   And Hello Kitty.  Surnise in October is do-able- about 7:10am.

Sunrise with Daphne! (Who went back to bed 20 minutes later)

Fafa’s new dog (and New Friend of Tawbubby), Ginger went to the beach with us.  Amelia and I took this during “Sunrise with Amelia”. 

We decided Ginger hasn’t seen a baby before- especially because she doesn’t know to hang around the high chair for tidbits that drop.  The second day she did come by for some bacon pieces.  But I cleaned up a lot of cheerios and banana pieces that I never have to clean up at home!  This might have also been Ginger’s first time at the beach.  She warmed up to getting in the ocean very quickly.

Daphne enjoyed the beach very much.

And it made her very tired!  We all wanted to do this.

Amelia enjoyed her third birthday party with Gigi, Gifer and Grand Aunt Cheri.  She got some new clay (seen here, playing with a snake Gifer made) and an activity book that includes markers, watercolors and glitter paint.  She stopped opening presents to go paint, and then moved straight on to the clay.  She loves making art and comes from quite a family history of creative people.
 

Remember my comment about we’re all healthy tonight, we weren’t last night and we probably won’t be tomorrow night?  Been through bronchitis (D), and something like bronchitis (A) since we last posted.  We’re all good again.  When does this end?  If your kid has a recurring fever at the beach, the doctor at Urgent Care gives out bubbles instead of lollipops.  Very clever. 

October is a wonderful time for the beach!  The weather was gorgeous and we didn’t want to come home.
