Beca was having a great time shrieking and ended up scaring a little boy who didn't like loud noises (there was a big echo in the indoor pool area). There was a pretty good bed fight but Beca was too tired to really continue so she eventually drifted off in her tent.
Saturday, we didn't wake up until almost 10AM, which is very unusual for me and Beca! So we tried to get a little shopping done but never found what we were looking for, ate lunch and headed back for beach time and some more pool time. yeah, no pictures the whole day. We made Beca walk in the soft sand so she would get tired! Which by the time we got out of the pool and upstairs for a snack, she was exhausted and took a good nap. I had to retrieve a wedding dress for my little sis Traci (and learn the bustle) so I had to wake the sleeping beauty and her jester. Then dinner with Steve's parents and brother and Traci joined us too! Beca was silly and funny and loved being with her Ema, per-Frank and Uncle Bobby! She loves to chase him and he came down to the beach with us and she tired herself out by chasing him in the sand!
Easter morning we did not make it to church. I think we would have slept in again had I not set an alarm. We had our own little service and read the Easter story from 2 of Beca's children's bibles. Beca quickly spotted the Easter basket I had put together in the car when I was the only one awake about an hour earlier - mostly toys but it took her a while to figure out the eggs had M'n'M's in them. She wore a traveling dress and put on her pretty Easter dress when we got to Ema's house - the crinoline never would have made it in the the car seat. It fit better than I wanted it to since it was a 4T. 
Baby Sara (who was my doll and likely had a different name that no one can remember) also had the same dress, just in her size. Beca played some musical instruments throughout the day with Ema but none as amusing as her "carmonica". She is actually quite good at it and has some sort of song in her head that it goes with. 
As family members came in, she received an additional 5 or 6 baskets/bags of Easter goodies and a Cinderella pillow book (that's almost 2 feet tall). We kept the candy rationed pretty well so lunch could be eaten.
Unfortunately, a poopy accident occurred and a melt down ensued when she wasn't allowed to wear her dress any more. The promise of an Easter egg hunt finally melted that away. Since there were only 2 kids (Aidan is Steve's cousin Tracy's son and he is 6), it was a lot of fun. I think Beca liked the eggs with the money in the because the noise it made when you made it a shaker was neat. 
Beca did pretty well but occasionally needed help from Corey! The exhaustion finally caught up with her and when we said it was time to go, she said a quick "bye" and headed for the car. The ride home was filled with a tantrum, about 45 minutes of sleep and then another tantrum.Our dinner was amusing too. We picked up McDonald's because we were tired and not really that hungry after the yummy pork chops and ham at lunch. Beca got the orange drink and gave us her usual "mmmmm, that's gut" (pronounced "goo-oot"). About halfway through dinner, she asked us "What kind of drink is this?" reply - "It's orange, baby." follow-up question - "Is it orange pumpkin or orange mango?" I about fell out laughing about this question but composed myself long enough to answer "I think it is orange with a hint of pineapple." It was just too funny. The orange mango came from her shampoo. It was overall a very Happy Easter (especially when we got back in our own beds)!
