Sandpipers

For my side of the family, our year starts and ends on Labor Day. For over 30+ years, my parents (and us kids and our families) have been going just north of Ocean Shores to a "resort" called Sandpipers. It is units you can rent right on the beach. It marks the end of summer and I look forward to it every year. Especially this year because it was Amelia's first.

We didn't get there until late Friday night due to work, but we lucked out and had good weather on Saturday. Sunday we had on and off rain, but it cleared up that night for a fire on the beach. Overall the weekend was relaxing, but Amelia did have her first "stomach" issue. I don't know if she ate something bad or caught a bug from daycare, but Saturday night she puked everywhere, many times (first on my dad and then me later continuing until the next morning). It was no fun to have a sick baby, but she was a trooper and never cried. It just wore her out and she slept hard!! I am hoping that she is much better this week because school starts tomorrow for me and I would hate not being able to be home with her if she is sick. Mae Mae and Amelia hanging on the beach. A couple handfuls of sand made it to the mouth. Hopefully that isn't what made Amelia sick! On Sunday there is a parade and activities at the town of Pacific Beach. Here are the girls searching through cedar shaving for money. It was pretty funny to watch. Shelby came out with a couple dollars. Leave it to Wade to find a time to workout! Amelia and her Papa. It was so cute that they were cuddling in bed together that night before she puked ALL over him! Mimi and Papa celebrating Amelia's first Sandpipers!! We are all excited for next year when she will be running all over the place. Our little beach babe!
