Sarah!

Sarah, you kept us very busy this summer!  You rode your bike around like a crazy person.  You made friends very easily at the park.  You had fun watching the boys fish.  You were in the water a lot!  You loved the boogie board this year or floaties.  Many a kid on the beach was convinced to give you a ride of some sort.  One day of the beach you were so tired you came over to me crying saying your eyes hurt.  So I looked at them thinking maybe you had sand in them, but you didn't.  Within minutes of laying your head on my lap you were fast asleep.  Your eyes were apparently hurting because you were soooooooo tired!  You slept for over an hour on the beach that day.  And when you woke up your eyes were suddenly fine!:)

You have a very fun personality and a wonderful imagination!  I love being your MOM!

I think we got some pretty cute pictures of you this year!

Sarah wore her life jacket every day at the beach.  She asked to put it on as soon as we got there, and really never took it off.  We saw a sad story unfold on the beach this year as rescue boats and police cars made it to the beach.  Later, we found out a young girl had drown.  So difficult to watch the the teams of people and boats frantically searching to find her.  Unfortunately, she wasn't recovered for a few days.  They did find her body.  A powerful example of how dangerous the water can be.
