In an attempt to kill some time while Simeon is traveling this week, Ana and I decided to make a trek out to the beach to visit my mom and sister. Our trip was almost canceled as a result of a couple drama queen weather men who shout “snow storm!” at the first sign of a snow flake. Never wanting to cancel plans at the last minute I decided to conquer the snow, which was great because it turned out to be nothing. Since we were going to be at the coast, I decided to set up a Michaelicious play date for Ana. Is he not just the cutest thing you ever did see??

The last time we got the kiddo together, we had to prop Ana up next to Michael while he gazed up at her from tummy time. This time was quite a bit different…

They had a great time playing and snacking, and then snacking and playing.

Michael was very nice and even shared his toys with Ana.

He was even considerate enough to push the “gas” button for her until she figured it out on her own.

Once Ana understood, Michael stood back to supervise her driving.

Then once the children were sufficiently worn out from playing, we set them side by side on the couch to watch some Sesame Street. Michael, ever the lover, decided it was time to make his move…

And leaned in for a BIG hug…

Which you can see is more than a little disconcerting to Ana. Check out her facial expression: her father would be so proud!

We had a great time and it was lovely to see Michael and Carole again. I just need to make sure we don’t wait another nine months to do it again! All the pictures from our visit are here. Enjoy!
