Mike found the perfect souvenir T-Shirt for Mallory for the beach this year, but they didn't have her size..."Cute and Crabby"!!! She was one extreme or the other last week....prob bc she was on her second week away from home, on "people overload" (we think she is an introvert like her Dad), or bc she is heading towards the "terrible 2s"...who knows! She slept awesome both weeks on vacation though so that was a blessing!!!
Cute things:
Learned how to say MiMi and Suzy (for Aunt Susan)..still working on Laura!
Dance party leader
Loved the waves and going on walks
Playing with Tanner and showing him to everyone
Saying, "peas" now instead of just signing it!
Staying up late for her first Fireworks Show!
Crabby things:
Interrupting Mommy when she was talking to adults with, "mommymommyMOMMYMOMMY!!!" (it's so hard to share Mom and Dad's attention!)
Saying, "NO!!!!!" to almost every question! (not a soft "no'...a loud, cat-like "NNNNNNNNOOO!"
But we had such a good time despite these fun behaviors Mallory was trying out on a constant basis! It was our 25th yr to the beach with the same family. Our 2 families of 9 have grown into 5 families of 17 people!!! It was such a great week and we stayed Oceanfront to celebrate! Lots of Bocce and beach time was had by all!!! :)
We also got to hang out with my Mom's sister's family and all their children! They were there too last week! We loved the "hamburger cookoff", bib making for the babies who will be arriving this year, and scrapbooking for the B-Day girl! It was wonderful to see everyone and hang out for a week in a special place! :)

Very nice picture collage of what appears to be an excellent "silver aniversary" of the beach family gatherings. Give "crabby" Blinky a hug for me...
