Beach Bum

Wednesday was my last official day off for working a Saturday...(tear).  I loved having a day off during the week but didn't like going in on Saturdays when I had to leave behind the sweetest little face as he waved bye bye-so instead of spending 8 hours reading and watching movies (easiest shift ever!) I am now promoted to no Saturdays!  We spent our last day off together in style and at the beach!  We finally checked out 'The Lakes' in Blaine and were taken in by the huge park, splash pad and nicely groomed beach.  Riley had a blast playing in the sand, running in the water and turning on the splash pad.  We went with other Mom's clubs members and a few of the kids we were with grabbed and took off with toys that weren't theirs.  I saw that one of the boys was leaving with his Dad so I asked Riley to return a few of his toys that ended up near our camp.   I proudly watched as he walked up to the Daddy and said "here" as he handed over the prized sand truck.  He has grown up so much and I love watching him problem solve, interact with others and learn to get along.  Our day at the beach was one of my favorites and I will love the pictures I took for a long time.

Couldn't love him anymore!
