and the sun sets late (though yesterday it wasn’t too sunny), we’re able to head down to the beach for a walk when Steve gets home from work.  Penny loves to sit and watch the waves crash while Leyna runs around.  For me, life can’t get much better!

Today, Penny was invited to her friend Anais’s birthday party.  It was held down at the beach.  In the States I don’t remember having many places like this, but most of the restaurants on the beach have play areas for kids with those big inflatable jumping room, walls and trampolines.  The place the party was at, had a tent you could rent for the afternoon and the kids were able to play on all the stuff.  This was the first time that Penny was actually able to partake in the inflatable fun, and she wasn’t too sure about it.  She kind of just sat in 1 place and waved her arms like a maniac.  Luckily, she had Jack to show her the ropes, and she ended up crawling around a bit.  After the party we went to the casino for some pizza (actually, I had pizza and Penny had whole wheat toast and avocado).  It was really nice to be able to sit together and eat together.  I had a great day with little Penny Jean!
