February Beach Day!

This winter has been very cold and very snowy. So when the temperatures hit 50 F on the first weekend of February we all took advantage of it. My mother invited us and my sister and her family to the Water Edge Resort for brunch. We all enjoyed the excellent brunch and also celebrated John's birthday (my mom's husband). After brunch we took the path down to the beach dogging bird poop all the way there. There was a nice breeze but the 50 F weather felt really nice after most of the winter being in the 20F or below. We spent almost 2 hours walking around the beach, running, drawing in the sand and just taking in the scenery. Emma was running around picking up sticks and shells. She had a lot of fun and did not want to leave.
The only part she didn't like was when Ashley (her cousin) took off her shoes to get better bearing to pick my mom up. Emma picked up her shoe and kept repeating "buty buty buty" which means shoes, shoes shoes. She is a shoe freak and does not like people going barefoot. I think we may spend a lot of money on shoes as she gets older. She already picks which shoes she will wear and even goes through my shoes in my closet and picks a pair of my shoes and insists I put them on. I am really glad we all enjoyed the weather because it left as quickly as it came and it is cold again....
