sand fun at the beach


Dennis could not wait to get out and play in the sand today! Gigi had a tub full of new sand toys for him, and we loaded up a big tub and walked down to the beach. The first thing he did when we hit the sand was to make several "sand angels". Much digging ensued. Sam Trap the Rescue Hero accompanied us to the beach so that Dennis could make a dune for his dune buggy. David and Dennis built a big sand fort and David buried Dennis' legs in the sand. Dennis crawled, dug, and frolicked for an hour before we decided to take him in out of the sun. His SPF 50 worked--he's not burned a bit!

Later in the day, David settled in for a lovely vacation nap while Gigi, Dennis, and I explored the five resort pools. Dennis swam in each one. He loved the kiddie pool with its giant butterfly slide and big fountains. He also loved observing the college spring breakers dancing and clowning at the main pool. But I think we all loved the family pool the best--it was the warmest, at any rate, and so much quieter than the main pool with its loud booty music and partying college kids.

Dennis LOVES vacation, and he loves Gigi's new beach condo. He was telling her "I think I'm falling in love with your house--you're the BEST Gigi!". He's still feeling really good, and that's such a relief after all his illness.
