Ok more mommy posts! I know you all want to see more of my Addison (well grandparents for sure). The  flight was interesting with a small child who does not understand that when the flight attendant tells you you must turn off all small devices that actually means the iPad which she so lovingly calls the “iPuter.” Yeah there was a toddler tantrum. The skies were not so friendly! After what felt like the longest decent in all of the history of aviation, we were beach bound. My husband was so excited to run in the surf with Addie. I secretly had my fears that she would hate it but was trying to remain optimistic. It’s a good thing I am not a betting woman! She HATED it. I was already to get my mom cry on….oh it’s so exciting my Addie saw the beach for the first time…. cue the music! Well there was music playing but not the academy award kind, more the kind you hear when you are being chased in the woods by a masked man! These are the pics of Addie seeing the ocean and walking in the sand for the first time. Getting her to stand in the sand was a major deal. It took three, yes you read that correctly, three days for her to settle down and actually get off the towel to touch the sand. You wanna know how she was lured into the sand and surf? We pretended to be horses! Yes horses love to run on the beach and in the water in case you did not know so that’s what we did. Yes insert in your memory me and Addie running up and down the beach like horses. Oh the things we do for our little ones! Enjoy the memories of the Thompson Family beach extravaganza.
