The end of summer arrived early with LAUSD shifting their schedule. Camp ended Friday and school started Tuesday which left Monday open to a day off. With the littler kids at school, Addie and I had a special opportunity to do something really fun together. I've been wanting to check out the gorgeous Annenberg Community Beach House which was renovated a couple of years ago and has a huge heated pool and is located right on the beach in Santa Monica. The place is open to the public but due to its popularity can be hard to get in to.
We hooked up my friend (and also my boss) Teena and her daughter, Petra, who is Addie's age and starting 1st grade too but at a different school. The pool opened at 10 am but we arrived at 9 to ensure us a spot in line. I'm so glad we did since we scored four lounge chairs poolside and other folks were put on the wait list. It was fun to splash around with the girls and get lunch on the beach. We spent the whole day getting home at 4 pm just in time to get an ice cream treat before picking up Eliza and Xavier from school. Addie had her first double scoop of ice cream and she ate the whole thing.
I cherish these special days off with Addie.

That is an amazingly varied ice cream cone. Clever Addie for her creative choices! Love the photos; a day to cherish for you both.
