The beach and Disney






Friday night, Andrew and mommy took a little road trip to meet up with daddy in Florida. We sang songs, talked, and Andrew slept a bit, but we finally made it to Florida to celebrate Father's day and daddy's birthday. When we got there, Andrew knew exactly where we were and went looking for Nana, who was there the last time we visited. However, we found a sun burned daddy--who he was equally delighted to see. Though daddy was sunburned, he was a trooper and let us swim and have fun in the sand despite his own crispiness. Andrew had so much fun in the waves and sand. He especially liked taking his float out into the ocean and body surfing with mama! We had a great time at the pool too. Andrew thinks he can swim, and if we work really hard at it, mama and daddy thinks he may be swimming all by himself at the end of the summer. The boy just does not have any fear of the water. Father's day was spent outdoors as well, digging and playing. That night we went to the inlet for dinner and had more yummy food. Andrew liked watching all the boats come into to dock for the night. 
On Tuesday, mama woke Daddy and Andrew up for a doughnut cake to celebrate daddy's birthday. We then got ready and spent the day at Disney. What a celebration! Everyone told daddy Happy Birthday and he felt so special! Andrew was even tall enough to ride Splash Mountain. He was pretty concerned for Brer Rabbit after he was thrown into the Briar Patch. At the bottom of the falls, Andrew asked, "What happen Bwew Wabbit?!?" He was so relieved to see Brer Rabbit was okay. He was also relieved that Stitch was caught at the end of Stitch's Great Escape. He clapped for joy when that bad stitch was caught! Cody and I were both amazed at how well he followed the story line and how he was able to retell us exactly what happened.
The next day we had  to say goodbye to the beach. Andrew didn't want to go. We had such a great time at the beach and can't wait to return!
