It was a more than perfect weekend for us. This was our first weekend home in over 2 months and we loved every minute of it. I felt a little awkward on Friday evening not traveling anywhere.Saturday morning we loaded up and headed for the beach. Zeke had to hang back for Lily's first trip. It would have been too much. Especially considering he'd want to swim the entire time and the water has not yet hit my preferred temperature.
So write away we went for a stroll so Daddy could finish his morning cup of coffee. The dolphin were feeding like crazy and really close to shore. However, I wasn't prepared to be stopped every 5mins by passing walkers to answer questions about the wagon. One couple even asked if that was something we rented and where could they get one. I think its time Uncle Nick puts a price tag on it and gives me cards to hand out.
Aunt Katie bought Lily a little dome tent which couldn't have worked better for the occasion. She had a place to sleep and most importantly, out of the sand . Apparently they've stopped making them so I've been strictly instructed to NEVER get rid of it.
After Lily's morning nap we rolled on down to the pier for lunch. She actually shared a little of my lunch for the first time. Usually anything I offer her that isn't Gerber is immediately spit back at me.Once Lily was re-applied with SPF50, we hit the water. Like her mommy and daddy - she loved it.... unless I take away her shovel. Fort Myers beach is actually rated one of the top "kid friendliest" beaches because the waves are nearly non-existent and perfect to play along the shore line. We can't wait to go again!
