A Day at The Beach - A Post by the Real Baby

I had quite a day! I went to the beach. I'm really lucky that my Uncle Tommy & Aunt Barbara have a sweet beach cabana. We had lots of fun today!

First, there was this HUGE jar of Nutella! I'm trying to figure out how to get it open.

My cousin Allegra felt better today! Tomorrow is a BIG day for her - her baptism! She's practicing her smile for the camera!

I got to monkey around with some of Allegra's toys. Look at all my teeth - 8 so far!

Here I am in my new swimsuit! I look good in pink, don't you think?

Next, comes the beach. I'm really checking out all those waves thinking, "I'm not so sure about this!"

So, this is what sand feels like?

Well, my Uncle Mike and cousin Emma are very brave, and even Gracie & Aunt Minnie are dipping their toes in.

Guess it's my turn! Or maybe I should just play in the sand with KC & Jack....

Too late. Mama decided I needed to see what the ocean felt like.

And guess what? I DID NOT LIKE IT!

And can you believe my Mama laughed at me? I don't think I want to do that again very soon. Even though I'm from Wisconsin, it's just too cold - and it came up behind me and scared the dickens out of me!

Finally, Mama took me back inside to play with my cousins. I really like playing with Tommy.

And I also got hugs from my Nonna MariaDina. She's not really my Nonna, but she's Allegra's Nonna, and she says I can call her that. I should really learn Italian so I can talk to her!

I played some more

But my daddy gave me an idea

So, I pulled my kitty cat robe up over myself and did a face plant. Nighty-night all.

So, that's how my vacation is going. Monday, back to Sheboygan County.

Happy New Year!

Buenos Dias from Mexico:

The Real Housewife is on a much needed get away.  It started out a little rough, and we got here a day late, but life is good now. Nothing that can't be remedied by some of this:

And this (the nail polish just screams "Mexico" don't you think?)

And maybe some birdwatching

And people watching

And then we'll be refreshed for the job of watching this little nugget

Many thanks to my parents, whom I know have their hands full. Mom, see why my house isn't spotless?

Adios from Mexico!

Whale Watching: The Catamaran Trip

Today we had a successful day on the catamaran in Cabo.

 We saw the sea lions.

 In front of the famous Cabo arch - where the Sea of Cortez & the Pacific meet

 And were lucky enough to see several humpback whales!

 Yes, we were that close!

A very good day!

One more day of vacation, then back to reality and the snow of Sheboygan County!

Swimming with the Dolphins:

Vacation is going great and we are truly enjoying ourselves.  The weather has been perfect and we hear it's not so perfect at home!  Here are a few photos from our "dolphin swim" yesterday:

 Dancing with "Agua" our dolphin friend

 I took the slow ride

 Jim took the fast ride

And everyone was happy!

Hope you're staying warm!

On Vacation

This time tomorrow I will be on my way to my last vacation as a childless person.  We are taking a "last hurrah" to Los Cabos, Mexico to escape the Wisconsin winter and all the snow that is on the ground here.  I can't wait to see the sunshine!

There will be none of these for me this trip:

But hopefully we will see some of these:

And lots of these:

I hope you have a great week!  Now, I need to pack!
