Labor Day 2013

Labor Day has become one of my favorite holidays.  It is a definite trip to the beach to enjoy all the festivities.  I was able to take the day off on Friday and Lily and I got some good quality Mommy & Lily time.  She was a perfect angel for me.  I often think she takes pity when it is just one of us taking care of her.  I can tell you that it was completely appreciated though and we had a wonderful day.  We were joined Friday evening by Lily's friend Lluc, his sister Mariana and parents Delores & Peter for another beach weekend.  On Saturday our beach community held their big annual carnival.  Full of sno cone machines, blow up slides and magicians.  The weather was absolutely perfect and we had a wonderful time.  Saturday night we also headed to meet some friends in Ocean City.  Lily was completely wiped out but she hung in there.  On Sunday we had a real adventure.  We hit the wave pool only to get caught in a torrential down pour.  No problem though... we had a big picnic in Lily's room for lunch.  Lluc and family headed home after that, but we got to enjoy another night full of playtime with our neighbors and Lily's friend Sam as well as some Sunday evening fireworks.  It made the crazy drive home on Monday all worth it.

Ignore the alcohol bottles, she really wasn't drinking them

There was a lot of popsicle sharing at the beach this weekend

And wagon rides (Lily loved pulling the boys... not sure how she managed to pull them across the grass however...)

More popsicles
