Today we said goodbye to Too Too and Grandaddy! They left around 10:00 or so and it was pretty hard on Audrey- well, all of us actually! They are a lot of help with the girls and Audrey LOVES them! She was napping everyday at their condo and each morning when she woke up she asked to go see them right off the bat. Thankfully, our friends Erica and Lyric came down tonight and that distracted her!
Too Too got Audrey a flashlight lollipop that projects a funny little character's image. At bedtime, we pretend that "Flashy" is a dancing "ting" (thing) or that he is swimming in the ocean, etc. Audrey loves her Flashy so much and she thought Lyric would like one also. She got her purse with her money in it and told me it was time to go shopping!
The little community we are staying at has an ice cream shop, a few restaurants, a pharmacy, cafe, women's clothing shops, and a group of little huts that have all kinds of different artists selling their art in them. The ice cream shop has been frequented by us VERY often. Audrey knows just about everything that they have for sale and the little flashlight lollipops are right on the counter as you check out. It is within walking distance but I loaded the girls up in the bike trailer to ride over there just to make the trip a little more fun!
We went right before nap so we made the trip short. We were there and back within 20 minutes!
After nap, we went and fed the turtles and fish that are in the pond in front of the condo. This has become one of our favorite things to do. Those fish are crr-aaa-zzzy! You can see them swimming toward the bridge as soon as we step foot on it! There are also two soft shell turtles in the pond and they are a lot of fun to watch.
After feeding the fish and turtles, we just went for a stroll around the neighborhood. I kept telling Audrey to smile at the camera but by the end, she was so over it and was asking for her supper. This picture sums it up!
Shelby Claire absolutely loved every minute of it though! She also got a new hat and it is super cute!
It was a good, laid-back, soak every minute up with my girls, kind of afternoon. I loved it and even though we are at the beach, those kinds of days are still hard to come by!
Lyric and Erica arrived right at 8:00 and Audrey was so EXCITED to see Lyric! There was a whole lot of squealing and hugging going on! They will be here until Thursday so I am sure that is not the last of the squealing and hugging that we will see!
