We have kicked off the summer official with our 1st trip to the beach Sunday. It turned out to be a great day despite the morning. Usually my trips to the beach consist of some friends with kids, that way everybody has someone to talk/play with. This year I asked a few people and no one was able to go, so I asked the father and surprisingly he said yes. I spoke with him Saturday afternoon to confirm what time he will be there and when we will be leaving. Everything seemed to be going as planned, then I get a text 8am Sunday morning saying something really stupid about being tired and his back and that he wouldn't be able to go. Of course I was pissed, not because I wanted him to go but because I just didn't feel comfortable/safe at the beach with 3 kids. Gia likes to get on her buggy board and really get out there, Ayanna is too short to really hang with her sister and I need to keep an eye on Ase. Which is why I always ask others to come along, but of course I wouldn't let other people be the deciding factor in what I do for my kids so off we went. The cooler, food, blankets, buggy boards, shovels, buckets, umbrellas, sun block, sun glasses, beach towels and swimmers all was loaded in the white Pontiac and we road out to the beach. Things turned out great, we all got in the water Gia took her sister out and played with her. They dug sand ditches and Ase wasn't comfortable with the sand on his feet and we laughed at him as he fell over in the water. We had a wonderful time. After we were done on the beach of course we hit the boardwalk, funnel cake and ice cream was a must(for kids not me). The girls road some rides and Ase laid in his stroller totally exhausted just watching everything. We left around 7pm and Ayanna had the sad face(of course) but I assured her we will come back.
Wednesday girls had there 6month check up at the dentist, Ase had his 2 weeks prior the father took him. Apparently he cried the whole time but he is cavity free along with Ayanna but unfortunately Gia was not. She was pretty upset about to, I'm not allowed back with Gia only Ayanna because of the age I guess so here are a few pics of her.
I have already began to plan our major trip for this summer, this will be to Niagara Falls. I'm so excited and after much debate I have decided to just drive there. I'm not looking forward to a 6 hour drive but I'm going to do it. My plan is to leave at 6am, bring lots of snacks, make stops on the way and buy a portable DVD player. Yaaaaay! road trip!
On the other side of my life, the guy I met at Mad Mex did not turn out to be someone I want to continue to get to know. I'm still talking to guy #1(from previous post) the IT guy that lives in Carlisle(sp?) Pa. We both agree that we don't like the distance but we still want to met and see what happens. I have a lunch date set up for Sunday with Mr.Officer(guy#3). We was suppose to met several times but I flaked a couple of times, we work opposite of each other. I have added another person guy #4 he will be called, he's from Claymont DE, which isn't that far from Phila area. He has been added to mix of texting/talking, he is from Boston, divorced moved here to be closer to his son. I forgot what he does, dang so many men can't keep up with who is who. SMH but like I said girl needs options and a good stable to chose from.
That is the worst part of doing a day trip to the beach for me-- loading and unloading all of th gear plus dragging it back and forth from the beach.
ReplyDeleteAre you staying in Niagra or doing it in a day? It's been in the back of my mind as a possible trip with Isaac too. I really want to ride on the Maid of the Mist.
@midwaydancer, yes we are going on a Friday and leaving Sunday. I have been thinking about Maid of Mist since I decided to plan the trip, can't wait to see them on the boat. You should consider going(with us) ;)
