Twas another hot weekend...

...and all through the house, none of us creatures felt like stirring, cause it was just too danged hot. But we managed to pick ourselves up and do a little something. The family gathered all our buckets and shovels, put on our bathing suits and sunblock, and made our way down to the beach to enjoy the Pacific. Of course - leave it to me to leave my camera in the car. Grr. Still, it was the little one's first real beach excursion and she had a blast.

Afterward we came back home, cleaned ourselves up (sand EVERYWHERE!!!), and got ready to go out to a nice dinner at Red Lobster. While daddy was getting ready, baby and I took advantage of the great sunlight and had an impromptu photo shoot. Here are some pics from that...
