This was a very big weekend around here! Friday started with school shopping. Issa did a great job sticking to the list, and she was so excited to pick just the right glue sticks, pencils, and erasers. This was her big thrill, though:
Hand sanitizer. She was beyond thrilled to purchase hand sanitizer. I have no idea.
We came home, packed the backpack, and then waited for Grandma Pat and Grandpa Kevin to arrive. Saturday, we took everyone to our museum:
Evan hasn't quite figured out his binoculars yet. Issa still is the master of the pose:
Grandma and Grandpa used to live in Maryland and were missing the ocean, so we packed up yesterday morning and headed east! Our usual beach was incredibly crowded, so we drove a bit and found our new favorite beach! Evan remains king of the sand:
But he did venture into the ocean! Daddy has him, and you can see Issa and I out a little deeper:
There is just nothing better. It was odd to be at the beach when the water was warm and the sun was hot, but we loved every minute. We found some shells and enjoyed the ocean air.
The best part of our new beach: we are five minutes from the aquarium! Evan fell in love with the little lizards:
And we had two very happy kiddos:
Grandpa got to see an alligator:
And Issa got to pet a horseshoe crab:
Issa and I also got to pet a shark! It was just a little sand shark, but it was amazing. I'm still trying to find the words; it really felt like nothing I have ever felt.
It was a great weekend, and now it's back to the races! Issa is at camp, Evan is at school, and I'm already two days behind. Happy Monday!
