Summertime

Life's a Beach

Today, I took Amelia over to a local summer spot...Sun Valley Beach.  It's a giant pool with sand all around and slides and more in the pool.  Amelia had so much fun playing in the sand, sun, and sea (pool).  I don't think I got a single picture of her face the entire time...she was just...too....busy!

Mama was on constant "Sand To Mouth" patrol because handfuls of sand were getting shovelled in her mouth.  Oh my!

One of the nice things about this place is you can bring your own food.  So I packed us up a lunch and, of course, hauled it in my picnic basket.  (I'm always looking for a reason to take it with me somewhere!)

This is the sunscreen I am using for now.  I really wanted to order the California Baby sunscreen, but it is on backorder and will not be here in time for our vacation.  I will probably still order some.  I want something that is organic and chemical-free.  This particular sunscreen did a fine job (we were only out for just over an hour), and it smelled really good.  But I'm not sure about its ingredients yet.  Has anyone had experience with this kind or the California Baby sunscreen or any other kind of baby sunscreen that is chemical-free?
