I woke her up at 945. She was not pleased. But if we wanted chairs and umbrellas at the beach we had to get moving.
Ally perked up a little when she saw the Easter Bunny brought her a gift bag.
With Peeps!!!
Which she promptly opened and ate one.
And eventually got up to hunt for the eggs I hid. (My co-bunny slept in too.)
There are not that many places to hide eggs in a hotel room so yes some were in the bathroom.
The best part is opening the eggs. Lots of candy, just like she asked for. And some hair elastics and barrettes.
But since it’s a tradition as well as peeps:
Cereal in eggs. From her first Easter when it was Cheerios to Fruit Loops this year. Such a happy girl.
Becky went down the beach to snag chairs and umbrellas. Ally watched a TV show and then got ready we arrived at the beach about 11am and stayed until almost 5pm. What a great way to spend this last day of vacation.
This next series I call “tween at the beach”
Yes Ally had her own umbrella just a few feet away from us. And she spent all day lying in the shade on her phone or kindle.
Finally at 400 she went in the ocean with us.
And loved it.
I love the expression on Becky’s face. And yes I brought my iPhone into the Ocean to take these. And I am so glad I did. The joy and happiness on their faces is the best.
The water as you can see was crystal clear and shallow. Just perfect.
Family selfie from the ocean!
Then around 5pm it was back to our room and Becky cooked up a delicious Easter meal of turkey burgers, baby carrots and chips. Yummy!
Becky and Ally enjoyed luxurious baths in another huge bathtub after dinner and now we are all settled ready for an early wake up and what we hope is a smooth and easy trip home tomorrow.
I am extremely grateful for this time together as a family. It’s been wonderful to relax and recharge together.
And huge snickerdoodle cookies from the hotel store for dessert.
