Brian and I even got a chance to get up to Philadelphia while Emilia spent the day with Grami and Aunt Vicki! We officially made pigs of ourselves and had cheesesteaks from both Pat's and Geno's. Our humble consensus is that Pat's is better (although we've decided we'd eat either again).
Just like any good vacation we had dessert every night. Emilia really showed the ice cream who was boss!
When we first got to the beach Emilia wasn't so sure about the sand. She was alright as long as she was on the blanket, and she enjoyed scooping with her shovel. After a little bit of coaxing we got her to stand in the sand then eventually sit. Once she started burying my feet she was fine. After she got comfortable we couldn't keep her out of the sand and it was hard to get her cleaned off to get in the car (which needs to see the shop vac badly, by the way)!
The ocean was a different story. She loved it from the minute she saw it again this year. She kept calling it the "pool". It was hard to keep her safe, because she wanted to run in and out of the waves like the big kids! She got knocked down a couple of times, and her face got splashed or went under the water, but she got right back up and did it all over again!
The best part of the ocean was when Aunt Vicki brought down the tube. Emilia immediately got in and started riding the waves. We may have a future surfer on our hands!
The waves were obviously very relaxing...here she is in her zen state sitting in the surf!
We stopped by Aunt Jacky's house for dinner before we went home and got a chance to visit with Aunt Toni for a bit. It was so nice to see everyone again this year!!
