The Vacation Continues

Yesterday I forgot to mention Rocky the turtle, when we arrived at the Montage and as soon as we were greeted just inside the hotel was a red wagon filled with stuffed fish and a single stuffed turtle. Summer was able to pick one of these stuffed animals and of course she picked the turtle. We asked her what she wanted to name her turtle and somehow collectively we came up with the name Rocky. She hung on to Rocky for most of the day and we even dropped him and ran him over with the stroller at some point yet he still looks good!

After Summer and daddy had spent a few hours splashing around in the waves, we noticed Summer's lips were blue and she was shaking uncontrollably so we decided to come out of the water and sit on the chairs and enjoy the sand for a bit. This way Summer could warm up and rest. She only had a 40 minute nap earlier on the car ride and was so exhausted and cold playing in the waves but she still didn't want to get out of the water.


After sitting for a bit on the beach chairs we figured we should try the sand toys and see if we could build anything. We scooted to the wetter sand and started building castles but as you can see Summer and I were drawn to the waves behind us.



Back to the water we went, this time her and I decided to give it a try, and yet the water was just as cold as it was a few hours earlier, colder maybe? I hung in as long as I could, Summer was still extremely cold and shaky but enjoyed every single minute. She wanted to be held and then sat down to get her feet wet, what a work out, it was all I could do to keep picking her up and setting her down, I decided daddy was much better suited for this job and this cold water!


We headed inland once more to dry off and before we headed back to our room I decided Summer needed to be buried in the sand, because - after all, that is what you do on a beach!


After we spent a few hours on the beach we headed back to our room to shower and rest and it was time for the wine. I am normally not a big wine drinker but maybe it was the fresh salty air or the cool breeze that helped me enjoy this glass. Since Summer was with us they also gave us a nice little bottle of sparkling apple juice. They didn't have any plastic cups so she had to drink her juice out of a glass and she managed not to spill or break it.


Kris was figuring out the wifi and Summer and I were chilling on the patio. When we first looked out the patio we noticed a bunny! There ended up being about 5 or 6 bunnies living outside our patio door, of course they didn't want anything to do with us but it was still fun watching them munch on the grass just right outside our room.


We had already done so much in such a short amount of time but there is still more, you have to wait until tomorrow thought, stay tuned!
