Saturday as a Family

Tim usually works on Saturdays, so it was nice that he was able to take it off this week so we could spend the day as a family.

Rachel spent the morning playing with (some may calling harassing) the cats. She was playing with them with their toy for quite some time and eventually climbed onto the couch to chase them down. She really loves them. She tackles Sarabi in this video in an attempt to hug her. Then she starts yelling mew mew mew mew, which is her meow. It usually sounds more like mow mow mow mow, but when she gets excited, it sounds more like it does on the video.

Becky and her family went camping in Mission Bay again and we went there for the afternoon. It was so nice for me because it was the first time Tim has gone to the beach with me. He saw firsthand how much Rachel loved to be in the water and how much you have to chase her around when she is at the beach. She is such a busybody.

Rachel and Grant hanging out. He still doesn't like the water, so he spent the whole time getting dirty in the sand and eating verrrry sandy Cheerios.

While Rachel was taking her morning nap, I went to Target and spent way more money than I should have (as I do every time I go to Target). While I was there, I got her a couple of new bath toys, which were both a big hit when we got home from Mission Bay. The first was bathtub markers. She really liked coloring in the tub.

The second was bubbles. She had a really good time playing with them in the tub. They were great bubbles because they were really sticky. She could catch some of them with her hands and play with them and they didn't all pop right away.
