It was another hot 106*F day here on Sanibel Island so we took a trip to the beach again. I really love that it's only a 3minute drive from the house we rented! Today was the first time our little one really wanted to not only go in the ocean, but have me hold her in the water up to her shoulders to swim! She is certainly getting brave! But the extreme heat is certainly getting to us, making us all cranky and tired. And she isn't napping well (like only 30minutes instead of her 2hours!) because her 2yr old molars are coming in. So we decided to beat the heat by going to Jerry's Marketplace fro some sorbet and see the parrots. There are so many great homemade ice cream places on both Sanibel and Captiva Islands, but most have an egg-based or peanut product and can't be trusted as allergy-safe for our munchkin. But the sorbet was safe for her egg & peanut anaphylaxis allergy... so we got TWO for her: Watermelon & lemon, what a treat! And even though we've been here over a week now, I have yet to get a chance to use the kitchen to make a diner. I was able to sneak away form the pool to make a veggie pizza & salad for us. What a treat for me to be able to take a Mommy-duty break and enjoy cooking dinner in such a fancy kitchen!
