What a great day. Both girls slept in until almost 8:30! Amazing. Mckenzie woke up first and she didn't want to get out of her crib right away when I went in there. She was having too much fun letting Dakota jump up and lick her face. Then she grabbed her bear and gave her a big hug and did the same thing with a lamb she has in her bed. Finally, she was really to get going for the day. Scott made us french toast (with a little help from Abby~she loves to stir stuff for us) and eggs for breakfast and it was tasty. Mckenzie didn't care too much for the french toast, instead preferring to eat 2 eggs. Scott suggested we head to Atlantic City today and it was the perfect day to do so. Clear blue skies and warm weather. They were having a St. Patty's Day parade at the pier so we thought we would check it out. Abby was so sweet to Mckenzie on the drive. Mckenzie dropped her toy car and Abby gave Mckenzie hers to play with. I love those sweet moments. The pier was pretty interesting, especially the people! I love to people watch and it was a great opportunity to do so. We watched the parade and the girls got a good bit of candy. Scott made a "friend" at the parade. We named him Smiley as he was always smiling. This guy kept getting closer and closer to Scott. When Scott would move, so would he. Smiley kept getting candy and beads for our girls too. Strange fellow... Anyway, when the parade was over, we continued our walk along the pier. It's just a bunch of shops and casinos. More of an adult playground than for the kids. But they both seemed to enjoy themselves, especially when we took them down to the water. It was no Florida beach, but Abby said she liked it better. I'm guessing that's because of all the seashells scattered about, not because of the dark sand and water and all the beer cans and other garbage littering the area. The girls had fun chasing the waves and running away from them and throwing seashells back into the water. It was so fun to see how much fun they were having. I think Abby could have stood at the shore and watched the water all day. She loves it that much! Poor Mckenzie lost her footing a couple of times and got all sandy. I felt bad for her because she doesn't like her hands to be the slightest bit dirty. It was hard to get all that sand off. We walked some more and stopped for ice cream. Poor Mckenzie didn't get any because she finally fell asleep. We called it a day and headed back to our car, surprised it was still there as we parked in a sketchy neighborhood. I'm sure we had nothing to be concerned about during the day, but I wouldn't want to park there at night! We drove home, stopping at Chipotle for dinner. We have never had it before and it was really good. Got chicken tacos for the kids, but the chicken was way to spicy for them to eat. Abby took one bite and loudly stated "It's too spicy" and Mckenzie spit hers out. Fortunately, we had some pasta in the car we gave to the kids. I just love days like this. There was no agenda and we could just do whatever we wanted.
