Laborless Day

We had a really fun Labor Day weekend. We were able to see some of my extended Lamb family and had a lot of fun with them. We met up with them at Laguna Beach for a few hours on Saturday and it was the first time in a really long time that I've actually been able to go in the water and play! Joseph and I both loved getting out far enough to ride the waves and I even took Sophie out until we were up to our necks which she liked. She's not at all afraid of the ocean and its saltiness, even when it knocked her over and she got mouthfuls of water. She also loves to play in the sand. Here she is buried up to her neck in sand and loving it.

We spent today at my Grandpa Lamb's house with my same Lamb relatives who live in California. We played in the pool and got way too much sun exposure and had a fun BBQ. It was great. Sophie wore some floaties for the first time ever and it made her even more fearless than usual in the water. She decided she'd tackle the diving board by herself, so here she is getting ready to jump in the pool to me. She'd say to everyone who was about to jump off, "1, 2, 3, Go Mama! (or Daddy or Peter, etc...)" So when she got up there, she said, "1, 2, 3, Go Sophie!" and then jumped!
She often bellyflopped down to me, but it never seemed to hurt or to deter her from getting out and going right back up. She loved it and had so much fun kicking herself around the pool all day. Thanks for letting us come play, Papa Lamb!
