Vacation update #4

Greetings from Seaside!
It’s our last night of vacation…we’re driving back to reality tomorrow.
Chris and I had our date night out, though it got a little delayed by a trip to the ER. LiliBee pulled away dislocated her elbow (nursemaid’s elbow) while the two of us were walking up the stairs. It was very traumatic for me. She was totally fine after they popped it back in, like nothing ever happened! The dr tried to tell us how to re-seat it ourselves since it tends to happen more than just once, but I think I may leave that to the professionals for awhile longer. Anyway, date night was lovely. Chris bought me a crab dinner and then took me for a sunset walk on the beach. It was very nice and soothing after the trauma of earlier.
We had fabulous weather yesterday for our big beach outing. CareBear and Cousin H ran around in and out of the water for over 4 hours, I think! Chris made them an island with a moat and they chased seagulls around. LiliBee decided that she wanted a nap first, so the two of us were a little late to the party. We did get in on the swinging, snacking and running around in the water, though. LiliBee loves the water.
We made an early night of it last night after the family left. The girls were exhausted from all of the fun! We also had a pretty mellow day today. We bought Carys her first kite and Chris taught her how to fly it. She was very impressed that she could do it all by herself. LiliBee and I made one final trip down to the water and then we all had a picnic on the beach. We’ll miss our little vacation spot!
Our return home tomorrow will be broken up by a trip to Grandma’s to see her new goats and our first trip to the farm for our produce share. Not exactly a relaxing first day back, but it should be fun!
