Cousin Sebastiao turned 9 on friday and had his birthday party yesterday.
Lena (my cousin, his mom) did such a great job with all the drinks, cakes and games she had for the kids.
Lily had a wonderful time playing with cousin Sofia and watching all the older kids run around.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather.
It was a great saturday.
OH! And speaking of lil miss independent, Lily will most likely be walking soon. She is feeling quite confident these days. She got a lot of solo walking time between tia Tete and me at the party.
When we got to the beach early saturday morning, I couldn’t believe my eyes.
There were so many shells all along the shore!
That does not happen often enough around here.
While Will and Lily played in the water and on the sand, I took a walk along this great path of shells.
Picking shells at the beach has been a favorite of mine since being a child growing up in Portugal. It always brings back such wonderful memories.
As I walked along picking out great ocean treasures and as I listened to the sound of the waves rushing in and out of the shells, I was quickly reminded why I love the beach so much.
On saturday we were invited to meet some friends at the Miami Children’s Museum.
It was our first time there and we had a blast!
There was so much to do. That place is HUGE!
We will definitely go back!
P.S.- I would also like to add that Lily looked exceptionally cute in her jumper that tio Ricky and Anabela sent her from Portugal and sandals that were a gift from aunt Desiree.
