Beached it up.


The day after we decided to get a puppy, I called and arranged for us to go pick him out. Its just over an hour north of us. Not terribly far. The weather was suppose to be nice. Really nice. So, we figured, why not make a day of it, and go to the beach afterwards?
The next morning we got up, packed, got dressed, loaded the truck, took the top off of the jeep, and hit the road. Puppy then beach bound. It was going to be an awesome day. Picking out a puppy took longer than I anticipated. They were all beautifully marked, and most of them had such sweet personalities. Except one boy. He was such a lazy little guy, adorable. When the woman took them outside he played for a bit but then started crying to get back in the bucket to be brought inside. When he finally managed to get it, he continued to cry, I assume, because he wanted back in his cage-thingy in the barn. Haha. Anyways, we didn't choose him... lol poor boy. I wish I could care for them all haha. After we paid her our deposit, we were on our way to the beach. Except it was farther than we thought. Isn't that always how it works?
We made it, finally. Leah's little toddler dream come true. She always pretends to be at the beach. We stayed for two hours. We swam, splashed, floated, built sand castles, buried our child, then my child and i buried her dad. Showed off my new bathing suit. You know, fun times. We brought snacks and drinks with us which included strawberries, cheese and crackers, crispers, and a chocolate bar each. 'Cause, hello, beaching it up calls for a tasty treat, right? Right. Leah and i shared a Kit Kat. Nom nom nom. Usually chocolate, or candy, or ice cream even, doesn't really effect her. Well, in a hyper active way, anyways. Sometimes it does the opposite and puts her to sleep. But today? When we had 1.5 hour drive home? Heck no. She was wired. Like pure giggles, sillyness, loud funky fake laughing, saying hilarious things. Like ridiculously hilarious things, that you wish had been recorded. And of course... i cant even remember it. Darn it. I couldn't even snap a decent picture of her. She was a blur in every one haha. She slept good that night. We all did.
It was an awesome first time at the beach in 2012. And i cant wait to go back.
