Labor Day Weekend Part 2- Beach Trips

We made it to the beach twice on our trip. The weather was beautiful the entire trip. The first beach we went to was Yorktown Beach. The great thing about Yorktown is that it is pretty much where the Revolutionary War ended. British Commander Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown with 1/3 of the British Army. We even went to the house where the treaty was signed (yep, the house is still there) So cool. Anyway, Laneah really liked this beach because it was on the bay so the water was really calm and pretty warm. She loved the sand, and took fists full of sand to her mouth multiple times. She was constipated for a couple days afterwards:) Silly girl. She really enjoyed the beach this time.

This is her excited face.

This is Laneah playing in the sand. She is doing her newest favorite move, which I call the ballerina because she holds her hands and pulls them over her head and then puts them back down. She loves to do it over and over. I think it is so cute. I have no idea why the video is sideways, and I am too tired to figure it out. sorry.


Thomas dug a hole in the sand and put her in it. She liked it because she was able to stand without our help:)

On Labor Day we went to Virginia Beach. It was a beautiful day and we thought that the beach would be packed, but it wasn't. The waves were pretty big, I assume from the hurricane in the gulf area, and it really scared her. Every time we got close to the waves, she would cry. Eventually we were able to coax her to just get the waves lapping at her feet by clapping and yelling "weee!" when a wave would come up. Then she started laughing and jumping and wasn't as scared. She didn't want to get any closer though.
She had so much sand on her face, it looks like she has a five o clock shadow:)

Once again we had a great time. Thanks Thomas, we miss you!
