Waves and Magic - Day 6

Today was a great day!  It was a rainy morning but Sammy was so insistent that she go in the hot tub, that I agreed to take her.  Yup, that was me, with a towel over my head, standing next to Sammy in the hot tub... she loved it!

Scott woke up with a lot of sinus pressure, so he ended up back in bed til mid afternoon.  I took the kids to run some errands, then home for a great lunch.  After that, we decided to go for a walk on the beach to give Dad some rest time.








We splashed in the tide pools, jumped waves in the tide and scared the seagulls.  After a little while, Daddy caught up to us and joined us for the remainder of the walk.  We found a second star fish on the way (quite lucky) and Tyler was even willing to hold it!   We decided to quick warm up in the hot tub before heading back to the condo!


They enjoyed being "SUPER strong" with their puffy shirts.  Ahaha... so many giggles as they'd float around the hot tub.


We got cleaned up and then finished up our school work for the day.  Then had a lovely spaghetti dinner... with a fresh veggie taste test.  I was thrilled that Sammy chose cucumbers and Tyler chose broccoli for their meals.



After our meal, we all headed to Illusions of Magic.  It is a family-friendly show with magic tricks and comedy all rolled into one.  It was a highlight for Tyler last year so we wanted to bring Daddy back to see it.   We also were lucky enough to work out schedules so Roger, Gretchen and Dean could join us as well!

Again, Tyler was so thankful to have gone; his favorite part was the tigers.  Sammy was most interested in Uncle Roger's popcorn...  She would pick a piece, separate and eat the fluffy outside  parts and return the kernel to the bucket.  Poor Uncle Roger!  (he didn't really seem to mind though)


The show wrapped up around 9:30 and we headed home for bed.

Weather:  I didn't get today's high, but would have guessed low-70s, cloudy with rain throughout.
