>I am soooo far behind on the blog and have so much catching up to do. I apologize (to those of you who read this and to my girls who will someday read this)!
Just a quick little bigger set of collages of a few favorites from the trip (as I still am going through all 300+ images). Below you will meet crabby the snail…or maybe that one is Slimey the Dude 24 (I kid you not). Either way, she was facinated by these creatures and gross as they may be, I love her a little bit more for loving them despite their ick factor. She made John search the low tide each and every morning for these slimy “friends”. In fact, in a moment of God’s grace, John stumbled across a land snail the day before we left that now lives in a cozy little cage in the playroom named Babs. It made the tearful goodbye to the sea snails a little less painful for poor little Beansicle.
Some other highlights of the trip, and particurly of Bean’s funnyisms (yep, I made up that word and am pretty proud of it really) included these fine statements:
“clothes are no funny daddy!” {after trying to get the kid dressed for 20 minutes at least}
“Mommy? ‘member when I been in your belly? And I knocked and you pushed me out? That been nice. You’re my best friend.”
…and later followed up that lovely conversation with: “there been toys in there mommy. I think I left a rattle.”
Now this explains EVERYTHING.
God love that kid.
{ps–can’t even begin to imagine where this “been” thing comes from. Neither John nor I ever use it, but it’s in almost every sentence she utters these days…} Silly child.
As for McKenna, she tore around the house like she owned it from day one and ate like a horse. LOVED the water to the point where she didn’t want me holding onto her and wanted to go in head first. Even took a few facefuls of salt water and sook it off like a true Bagyi. As much as I think she had a good time, I can’t wait for next year…and the next year…and the next year as her and Bean grow closer as sisters and friends.
Enough jibberish from me. On to the photos…
