Low Key Day...

As I said yesterday, more of the same today - beach, lunch, nap, pool, dinner. Daddy got up with me this morning and got me breakfast and took me out to the beach so mom could sleep :) She met us down at the beach and I played in the water for a while. The wind really picked up yesterday, so the waves were a little stronger than they had been. I still got to find some shells and fill my bucket up with water. Yesterday when I got my shells, I gave them a nice cozy home in one of my buckets (i.e. I covered them up with sand). Daddy was careful to pack them in the cart so their nice cozy homes didn't get disturbed when we brought the cart up last night. 

I had mac and cheese (with the emphasis on the "mac") for lunch and mom and I took a quick nap (are you sensing a theme, here? What can I say, the sun takes a lot out of you!). We just took a short nap and set an alarm so we could go to the pool. Once again, I had absolutely no desire to swim. I just wanted to stand on the steps. Hopefully one of these days I'll change my mind and want to swim again. I got to play with Dominick again and we had fun tossing toys in the kiddie pool for the other kid to find. In the big pool, mom bounced me off of her feet and Dominick and I played a game where we held up a certain number of fingers under water and the other kid had to go underwater and tell the other how many fingers were up. I had a little trouble with that one, but we had fun. We left a little early because the restaurant we went to gets REALLY crowded if you don't get there right when it opens at 5. 

We got showered and I picked out a pretty dress to wear. We ended up getting there a little after 5, but didn't have to wait too long, thankfully. We had a nice table outside right by the water and there was even a sign that said "Please don't feed the Alligators!" I told mom I didn't think there were really any alligators there, though. When they brought the menu, I asked dad "Dad, what are my options?" He got a kick out of that. 

I ended up getting buttered noodles with parmesan and green beans. Daddy had Scalloped Scallops that looked delicious and mom had a great filet with cabernet onion jam and brie (yum). We shared a cheesy lobster dip for an appetizer, but I really just wanted the bread.  I even got to have my very first Shirley Temple! It was so delicious and I got to eat 2 cherries out of it. The best part of the meal, though, was that they had SMORES on the dessert menu! Daddy had cheesecake and I had smores. I was very careful to not get any on my dress, but my face and hands were another story. We had to go to the bathroom to wash my hands before we left. I ate two whole smores and they were absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be adding this restaurant to our annual rotation while we're here! We didn't take too many pictures today, but here are a few from dinner. 

Holding the buzzer asking a million times "When will it buzz???"
