We spent Labor Day at Anna Maria Island, and had such a fun time. I can’t say it was a relaxing time, because really nothing with a one year old is relaxing. But it was a wonderful time, the perfect way to end the summer.

Mom and Dad rented the cutest little house for their anniversary, and they invited us to come out for the day 🙂 We swam in the pool, grilled hot dogs for lunch, swam some more, tried twice to get Leo to nap (failed), sunscreened the kids (Leo loves “lotion”), & went to the beach! Leo was so tired by then he fell asleep in the ocean floating with me in an inner tube. I had stressed a lot mentally over when he’d be able to nap, but you know, I guess babies just will nap where and when they’re ready.

We swam in the pool again after the beach, shot foam arrows, ate supper, took outdoor showers, & got the kids all clean in their jammies before we drove back home.

I feel satisfied with summer. We’ve had a good time with it. Now we’re ready for fall 🙂

1 year old + water = not relaxing Finally sleeping. He slept so hard he didn’t even wake up when waves splashed us in the face 😛
