Beach Day

Now I'll start by saying that we didn't spend the entire day at the beach with our 3 month old Violet, but we could have! We purchased a SWEET half dome tent which was huge and provided ample shade for V AND us! We also have the tommy Bahama chairs and rolling cart :) We'd like to give our neighborhood Costco a shout out for the great beach gear :)

Today was a beautiful day at the beach :) We spent it at Newport with Matt's family (mom, dad, sister Julie, Ryan her husband, and our niece and nephew) and we had so much fun! ... building sandcastles, frisbee tossing, ball tunnels, chatting... And then old spaghetti factory did we go! I love spaghetti factory :) This time was a little challenging because Violets been having bad cases of reflux and to try to avoid it I've been trying to stay away from foods like cooked tomatoes, onions, garlic... Well... Spaghetti is JUST that! So I went with the ONLY thing on the menu CLOSE to that... The mizithra minus the garlic. My tummy is KILLING me (lactose inefficient tummy), but Violet is doing great :) Thank goodness :) I'd do anything to avoid her poor soul shrieking in pain :(

Now we're capping off the night with 'common law' and snuggling with Odie pie my love :)
