Chucks Super Sweet 31st Birthday

Poor Chuck, his Birthday will now always be over shadowed by Charlotte's, and then a few weeks later it is my Birthday. A house full of Geminis. I don't know how me manage :)  But we tried not to leave him out this year by spending the day on the boat down at Goose Creek. It was a fun day for all. But today I am beat after the busy weekend and horrible sunburn. Which brings me to my rant!

We normally use the pink baby sunblock on the right. But as you can see, we lost the top spray piece on the bottle. So knowing we were going to be in the sun all day, I picked up the only "tear free" sunblock that target had. Don't believe it...it is NOT tear free. My poor baby must have rubbed it in her eyes, and then was in horrible pain for about an hour after until it wore off. She couldn't even open her eyes! Never again will I purchase this sunblock. PLUS, I sprayed Charlotte down like a crazy person about every 30 minutes and she still was a little pink after the end of the day. I felt like a horrible mother. Especially when we stopped for CiCi's pizza on the way home. I felt like I was getting that "bad mother" stare.

Other than the sunblock issue, Charlotte had a GREAT time at the lake. While the gang was working on putting the boat in the water, Charlotte and I cruised around the cove on a raft. Once on the boat, she played, ate lots of snacks, and fed the massive swarms of geese that made their way over to us. By the end of the day she was ready to go for another dip. I have never seen her so happy and she was so eager to swim. I could barely keep a grip on her! I am so happy that I have a child that loves the water and I cant wait to go back to swim some more!! Maybe next time we will spend more time at the beach where she can touch :)

Sorry, no pictures this time. I didn't want to risk taking my camera on the boat. Maybe next time.
