We mentioned that Cecilia loves to be in the water and we go to the beach all the time, and Grandma found yet another beach for Cecilia to go to. Susan and Richard (Carol's friends) nicely invited us to their lakefront house in New Jersey. Their neighbors have several grandchildren, and as part of their lakefront property, have an area set up for kids, including a slide:
They put up a great lunch for us - Cecilia even got her own little chair!
Afterwards, we walked to a sandy beach on the lake, which was only a quarter of a mile away, and Cecilia had ton of fun jumping in the water and playing with the sand.
The rest of the weekend was great too! One day we did try to go to the Natural History Museum, but it was absolutely crazy there partly because of the drizzly weather, and partly because of all the tourists in town during the holidays. We spent about an hour there, saw some animals, and then headed home.
One morning, we went to one of the playgrounds near grandma's house, famously known as the "Hippo Playground," where there are small fountains of water coming out of the mouths of metal hippos built into the ground of the playground. As with any water play, Cecilia had a ton of fun:
She also very much enjoyed riding on some of the bouncing animals:
Finally, while Daddy and Grandma were getting some much-needed rest one afternoon, Cecilia and Mommy went down to the play room in Grandma's building. There are a lot of videos and pictures from that one afternoon, so I'll make a different post about that. Otherwise, the remainder of the photos can be found here.
