Gorgeous Day at the Beach

It's been a while since we had a free Saturday where we had no place to be. Yesterday was dark, dreary and rainy so we were pleasantly surprised when we woke up to a gorgeous sunny day. We get our best weather in the spring and fall and try to take full advantage of it. We decided to try the new (and only) pho restaurant in town and then head to the beach.
At the restaurant, Hana spit out all her food and threw it everywhere. Dada tried to convince me that it was normal for kids Hana's age to act like this but I was still embarassed and kept trying to clean up after her. The restaurant owner loved Hana's big blue eyes and after receiving a big hug & kiss from Hana, she told me not to worry about the mess. That made me feel a little better. Still, it might be a while before we take her out to eat again. We pulled out Hana's wagon and stopped at 7-11 to buy her a Lunchables since she didn't eat anything at lunch. We think Hana is such a big girl until we put her in a setting like this and she looks so small. Dada's shadow is definitely way bigger! We spent two hours at the beach. Hana spent her time alternating between riding in her wagon and running around. Last weekend was really busy and she still took ZERO naps. We were hoping that all the running around at the beach today would wear her out but as I type this, she has been in her crib for 30 minutes, yelling for us the whole time. Perhaps no naps this weekend either. She has way more energy we do!!
We try to come to the beach on weeknights after dinner to let Hana run around but for some reason, today's visit was more fun than usual. Hana has become aware of the waves and loves to watch the "wa wa". Energetic as she may be, she'll never turn down a shoulder ride from Dada!!
