Beach Bums

We spent our last day with Julie and Kalyn at our favorite beach. The water was clear and calm, like a swimming pool, great for my arm floaties and new noodle. It was a perfect day! Kalyn taught me how to lay in the sun to get a good tan (nevermind that our Moms sprayed us down with SPF 50+ sunscreen every hour). We swam in the ocean all morning, then relaxed by the umbrellas with a snack. Dad and Julie had some quality brother-sister bonding time. Mom hopes that I am good friends with my little brother when we grow up, too. Dad brought his fishing rod, and made our day when he caught a Lady Fish that was almost 2 feet long. It jumped and splashed and made everyone around us (especially me) squeal with excitement. He tried to bring it over for us to touch, but it jumped off the hook at the last minute. I didn't want to say goodbye to Kalyn when it was time for them to go, she is my favorite big girl cousin. I will never forget our good times at Chick Fil-A, singing the Gaston Song, eating ice cream or frozen yogurt every night, and coloring my nails with markers to look pretty like her mani-pedi. Mom says we will see her again in a few short weeks, but I can't wait!
