Beach Day




April and I took to the beach today and had a great time. We drove down to Pacific Beach and ate at a bar/restaurant right next to the beach. After lunch we walked down to the beach and laid out for about an hour and a half. I used to absolutely love laying out but I can't lay down because Lyla pinches my nerves in my back which makes me light headed and faint. So I sat in a beach chair and tried to get as comfortable as I could. I was jealous of Ape, not because she looked so cute in her polka dot bikini, but because she got to lay down. After our skin was nice and crispy we made our way down to one of my favorite stores in Pacific Beach, The Pink Zone. The store is ridiculously cheap and has tons of adorable clothes. Shopping just isn't as fun when you are pregnant but it was fun to see Apey try on cute tops and dresses. After shopping we went and got strawberry shakes and headed home. No matter how many times I go to the beach, the vastness of the ocean blows my mind. God's creation is beautiful! All in all we had a low key relaxing day. I don't think I am going to let Ape leave on Thursday. She just doesn't know it yet.
P.S. Did I mention April and I saved a kids life today! Not from downing but from getting hit by a car. When we were walking down to the beach a older couple with about 3 kids crossed the street. Well they weren't paying any attention to one of the kids who was slower, who kept saying wait for me. Well he took off across the street and the idiot girl on her cell phone wasn't really paying attention. She had a stop sign but she wasn't really going to stop and was only paying attention to cars going by. Ape and I both yelled stop and ahh and it scared the little boy enough to stop and her to stop her car. Luckily her sun roof was down and she heard us yell and the little boy got scared enough to stop. I'm not kidding you, the child was about an inch away from getting run over. Just made me realize that God is looking out for us down here!
