Beaches

When we first starting telling Elizabeth last week that we were going to the beach in California for vacation, the first thing out of her mouth was that she wanted to take her bucket and shovel.

The last time we were at the beach?  Last March!  The girl has an awesome memory.  The last time we were in California and she saw “Baby Alex”?  Last February!  And she remembered his name and his face from a picture.

She is very excited about seeing Aunt Karen, Uncle Craig, Miss Jen, Mr. Aquiles and Baby Alex.  So much so, I’m starting to wish we waited til we were on the plane before telling her where we were going.  Every day during the drive home from school she asks if we are going to the beach…every day.  And I have to re-explain to her (every day) that we aren’t going yet, and I tell her when we are going and how many days away that is, and so on.  Pretty funny.
