Daddy and Adia napped on the car ride over. Daddy brought in the bags and then fell asleep on the couch again. Adia was bouncing off the walls with energy. She was so happy to be back at DiDi's house even though DiDi wasn't there. DiDi happened to be at the store when we got there. Adia searched the house for her and when she couldn't find her, she busied herself with the piggie and lots of toys. When DiDi got there, Adia started running laps. DiDi watched Adia while I took a nap. I had been up since 7 and really dragging. Adia woke me up a couple times, but then they left for the park. I joined them at the park after a little bit. Adia had made a new friend who was a couple years older than her. They were playing in the sand and then they both got on swings. For the first time, Adia actually enjoyed the swings.
She then decided she wanted to climb the big kid equipment. She made it to the top without any problems, got on the slide and down she went. She did it over and over again, but her new friend was too scared to come down the slide. Her new friend soon had to leave and we coaxed Adia back to the little kid play equipment. We spent a long time at the park and Adia really didn't want to leave.
We headed out to Fred Meyer afterward and Daddy was still sleeping. I was hoping we could find Adia some more stretchy cotton pants. We didn't have any luck, but she did get a cute butterfly dress, a green polka dot nightgown, a seahorse shirt and some new sandals. She really likes the new sandals since they're purple, easy to put on and comfortable. I hope she can wear them a while. I probably should have bought a size bigger too.
We came home to find Daddy had just gotten up. We had dinner and Gramma and Papa arrived a little bit later. Adia was already getting tired and wanted to watch Pete's Dragon with DiDi. Daddy, Gramma, Papa and I went to the casino while DiDi and Adia stayed home. DiDi was hoping Adia wouldn't have any problems going to sleep and she didn't. DiDi texted me less than 30 minutes later to tell me that Adia was asleep. We didn't stay out too late and I actually got to sleep without any interruptions. Adia slept with DiDi all night long! Too bad I didn't sleep well though. I just couldn't get comfortable.
Sunday was a beach day for sure. It was hot and sunny. We called Gramma and Papa, and we (Gramma, Papa, DiDi, Daddy, Adia and I) all headed to the beach. Adia couldn't wait to play in the sand. Gramma had even brought new beach toys. It was a bit of a hike to the water, but Adia liked the feel of sand in her toes. She quickly got digging and so did Daddy. He tug deeper and deeper while DiDi and Gramma used the wet sand to make sand castles for Adia's demolishing. She's now called Babyzilla.
Gramma took her to "run on the beach" and DiDi set to work building as fast as she could. When she got back, she quickly stomped on all of DiDi's hard work so Papa took her for a run too.
There was plenty to destroy when she got back since DiDi, Gramma AND Daddy were all busy building. Her face lit up when she saw it all.
Daddy had also continued to dig. His hole was getting deeper and deeper and of course, that's where Adia wanted to sit. She also tried to "help" Daddy dig more. It was up to her chest and when she sat down, she would disappear.
It was soon time to leave because the pregnant lady was getting hungry. Adia, Papa and Gramma all filled in the hole with Daddy still standing in it. Adia thought it was pretty funny that Daddy was so short.
She also found a stick and used to draw in the sand. She even managed to draw an "A"!
Adia was getting tired and when Adia's tired, only Mommy will do. That's a problem when it's a long hike back to the car and Mommy gets winded easily. I was able to carry her on my shoulders without too much of a problem. It was easier than a hip or front carry for sure. She kept laying her head down on mine and we thought for sure she'd fall asleep up there. Luckily, she didn't.
We got back to the car and the grandmas helped desand Adia. She was covered. I later discovered about a cup of sand in each pocket of her coat! We stopped by DiDi's house to grab some food for Adia since I was craving pizza and there's nothing there she could eat. The pizza hit the spot and Adia nearly fell asleep eating. As her head was about to land in her plate, she lazily said, "Mommy, I hold you." She was out in seconds once her head was on my shoulder. We were able to put her back in the car and then in her bed at DiDi's without a peep. She slept for a few more hours after that too! She was adorable when she woke up. She didn't cry for me, she just casually walked out into the living room, all smiles. She was rested and happy.
She asked for some apple before we headed out to Gramma and Papa's house. She didn't want it cut though so DiDi sliced her half the apple and Adia fed piggie the center. She was taking the biggest bites and had juice drooling down her chin.
It was BBQ time at Gramma and Papa's house. We all piled into the car and off we went. Daddy's Aunt and Uncle were there too. It took Adia a minute to warm up to them, but not long. She wanted to play soccer and draw with chalk. Papa made her a special burger and she ate almost the whole thing! I was shocked. We had M&M ice cream bars for dessert and Adia was one happy camper. She didn't make too bad of a mess either. She was soon demanding a Papa bath to get cleaned up. After her bath, she did her naked run before asking to watch Lilo and Stitch. It was hard to convince her to leave, but we were all getting sleepy. When we got back to DiDi's house, Adia was still awake and didn't want to go to bed. I ended up falling asleep next to her on the twin bed. I was actually more asleep on the floor than the bed. It was another rough sleeping night for me and Adia was up with the sun. That was bad and good though because DiDi had to go to work. If Adia had slept in longer, she wouldn't have been able to spend as much time with DiDi.
We were planning on heading to the beach again so after eating breakfast and getting dressed, we headed out to Gramma and Papa's house. Mommy also needed her double chocolate mocha from Dutch Bros. (Don't worry, it was decaf.) Once we got to Gramma and Papa's house, Adia didn't want to leave. She just wanted to play soccer and draw with chalk again. On our way to the beach, Adia fell asleep in the car. That's what early mornings will do to you. We got to the beach and the fog was rolling in and the wind was freezing. We decided that a beach attempt wasn't going to work so we headed to the lake instead. Adia woke up when we got there and was pretty confused. Once she saw the sand, she was good to go though. For some reason, she asked me to take her skirt off though. No idea why, but she spent a good amount of time in just her diaper.
Adia did more sand castle destruction and then had Daddy carry her up the big "mountain." He put her on his shoulders and carried her to the top. It was a pretty high dune too. When they got to the top, he set her down and they ran to the bottom. Surprisingly, she didn't fall. After the run, she wanted pants back though.
Our next stop was Old Town. We decided to get lunch and check out the toy store. Adia was getting tired and cranky again, but she did eat her burger. She was really good in the toy store too. She mostly played with the Thomas the Tank Engine train set while we looked around.
We bought some candy at the candy store before getting back in the car. I don't know how she stayed awake, but she did. We drove back to Gramma and Papa's house and off she went with Papa. They played on the swing out back and she checked out the pond. Then she saw the motorcycle. He let her sit on it and pretend to ride. After they came back in, Papa made a fire so we could make s'mores. Adia ate marshmallows and chocolate. DiDi came after school was out and had a couple s'mores too. Then Adia dragged her outside for more chalk drawing. Papa soon joined them and Adia was all about playing with Papa again.
She didn't want to leave and was especially upset that DiDi wasn't in the same car. It was getting late and we had to drive home. We stopped at DiDi's for a little bit so Adia could eat something, play and relax for a little bit. Adia was ok with leaving. She didn't scream for DiDi this time, but fell asleep almost immediately. She never knew we got home or that I put her in her bed. When she woke up in the morning, she looked around for a minute or two before saying, "My room? My house? My bed?" She was happy to be home, but also missed everyone.
