After our naps, we walked down to the beach. I had this great idea that I would dress Abby in her pretty white dress (over her bathing suit) and try to get a few pictures. Well, I got a few and then she fell in the water and I fell in after her. (Not deep water, just enough to soak us both!) Of course those were the only clothes I had brought to the beach, so I had to walk back to the hotel to get us some clothes! The kids stayed at the beach and played with daddy and I got a good workout (while soaking wet)! Connor just loves the water. He has so much fun running in the waves. Abby loves the beach as well, so they had a great time. After playing at the beach, we walked down to a wonderful park across from the ocean. We rode the carousel and played on all of the neat play structures. The main structure was shaped like a boat and there was a giant clam, a lighthouse, and a little mission. It was a ton of fun. After the park, we walked down to the pier. Connor was so fascinated with the pier. He thought it was so cool how it went out over the water. We ate dinner at a restaurant on the pier. Connor was very impressed with the peanuts served in giant barrels and took many trips to get more peanuts. Even better, he could just throw his scraps on the floor! Wow, this was a concept he could get on board with! He also enjoyed plaing "Mr. Clam Man" with Dadd'y clam shells. Boy, those clams had a lot to say! We had a great time as there were many families eating at the restaurant and Connor of course met them all! We sang "Happy Birthday" Even Abby! It is on of her favorite songs!) and dessert was really delicious. The kids were exhausted when we got back to our room. A train ride, the beach, the park, a pier, peanuts, an ice cream cookie...it was a perfect birthday for Connor!
