What a wonderful weekend!



It's been a beautiful weekend so far and it's not over. Tomorrow sunshine and 29. Today it went up to 27 or so and it was completely sunny and not humid.

Our weekend started off with strawberry picking. There were TONS of strawberries so it didn't take long.



Maelie spent some times with her friends.


We went to Merveilles de sable which is at the beach close by. A few professionals build gigantic sand sculptures. There are also categories for amateurs and families. They were working on those.



Maelie got a butterfly face paint.



Then she got to use real tool and build her wooden castle.



She got treated to a very tasty and HUGE snowcone! She didn't eat even 1/4 of it!!



She even got to try kayaking! The lady let her try it on her own and Maelie ended up in some lilypads... so she didn't want to go any further.



She played in the sand with a new little friend.



After that we drove to Toysrus as we had to get a gift for the bday party Maelie is attending tomorrow. We came home and Maelie got to play with her friends again. We all had a pic nic together on the back porch.

Now I am officially POOPED! Maelie still wants to go in the pool though. May as well wear her out completely!

Yesterday evening, she fell asleep on the couch. She was SO exhausted that when I got her to get up and make her way to bed upstairs, she went up only half of the stairs, layed down on her treasure chest and was going to go back to bed right there. I kinda pushed her up the stairs. She walked to her room, picked out a jammie, came to my bed, and fell asleep with her jammie in her hands. She was still wearing her bathing suit! I just let her be...poor little thing was exhausted!
