Lunchtime at Daycare

Lunchtime equals fun time:






But now it's time to get serious:



Update:  Ana told me that this was the first time she sat at the table and ate her whole meal. She usually sits in the stroller. Growing up. ;)

 

Ocean Beach Day

After our great afternoon at China Beach last week,  we wanted to go again, but this time be better prepared with bathing suits and towels. So we got all packed up and headed over, forgetting it would be closed due to the government shutdown. But Ocean Beach was not closed, so we drove a little bit further and enjoyed another great afternoon, this time with official water and sand play!

First Time In the Pool

From when we traveled to Colorado in June....




We were so excited to take Penny into the pool for this first time at the hotel. I wasn't sure if she would like it but I was pretty confident she wouldn't object.

When we first took her in I'm not sure she know what to make of it:


But she soon realized that she could splash, and that was all it took:

Also...take note of the second video above at 0:30.

In case you didn't catch it...



The funniest involuntary reaction to getting splashed by her cousin ever.

Just Because

This dress is so cute...


The kiddo ain't too bad either.

Superbaby

Now Penny knows where it all began:


I don't think she really cares :).

Friday Hi

Just love this picture. And this girl.

China Beach

We took Penny to the beach on Saturday. It wasn't our first time, but it was to this particular beach. China Beach is a bit of a hidden gem. Only 11 minutes from our apartment, it is in the beautiful neighborhood of Sea Cliff. It feels like it should a be a private beach for the stunning houses around it but luckily for us it is public. It is also quite small so good for the kiddies.




Although we have taken Penny to the beach before it was the first she walked on the sand and let the waves hit her feet. We weren't dressed for swimming, so that's as far as we went in but if she had her way we would have gone in further. She did not hesitate to walk right up to the water. Whether it was curiosity or a lack of fear, this kid wanted in.





Next time we will be better prepared with bathing suits and towels and our own sand toys.

We hope that next visit will be soon. Now that we've discovered this little beach we want to make sure we can take advantage of it before the weather gets too cool.
