I didn't bring a camera (traveling solo with both girls meant I didn't want the extra stuff to carry--I already had enough!) so all these photos are from the various iPhones/iPads present at our weekend. I think my uncle did take a picture of all of us with his camera, so I'll try to post that one when I get a copy of it.
Grand-grandma, Gramama, Xari, iXy and Mama
First glimpse of the beach!!
We need to get sand toys!
Yes. The beach is for this girl. And this girl is for the beach.
There was also lots of playtime...yay tias!!
We also met up with some college friends who live there, and have a little boy who's 20 months. We met at a kid's gym that had some open play, and it was pretty fun! Xaris even rode the zip line, which shocked me--she's usually not quite THAT bold.
Snail races....I don't think they have snails in Dallas--at least not the big California ones. (everything's bigger in Texas?? I guess not). Xaris spent a few minutes every morning looking out the window to count all the snails on the bushes.
We had a birthday party for the May birthdays--just Xaris and my uncle since,y aunt couldn't be there. Complete with cake, ice cream, funny glasses and a piñata :)
And a giant Raggedy Andy as a gift for Xaris from GreatUncle Chef Bill!
Lots of love and snuggles with grand grandma
Another trip to the beach on a sunny afternoon--and sand castle lessons with great-aunt Jeannette!
What IS this stuff??
Sigh, ocean breeze, sand, sun, salty air, I was born for this! (it was really hard to get her off the beach...she wasn't ready to be done).
We loved it!!
On a slightly sadder note--X is sick and we're trying to figure out what's wrong, so prayers would be appreciated. She had strep and an ear infection about 10 days ago (just finished antibiotics last night), but she has not improved much, and has had a fever since Monday. Yesterday's visit to Dr confirmed that strep was now negative, but since everything (ears, nose, throat, etc) was visibly ok, we ended up having to do bloodwork and stuff to try to figure out why she still isn't well.
On top of this, she's not really eating, and not sleeping well, so it's been a miserable few days. Poor baby.
