We celebrated Daddy's 25th birthday and Samantha's 10 month old birthday with a good dinner and 3 pumpkin pies. Here's Samantha in her party outfit:

Samantha also had her second vacation a couple of weeks ago in Oceanside, California of course. We stayed at the Oceanside Marina right off of North Harbor. Which was pretty cool because the balcony's view was the harbor and the beach waves were just past that. The hotel itself wasn't as nice as we thought and paid for though, but had great potential. While at one of our favorite restaurants there we discovered that Samantha can drink out of a straw.
On Saturday we strolled Harbor Days, which we were fortunate enough to have fall on the weekend we'd be visiting. Lots of cool things to look at. Then we went to the beach. Tons of fun! Samantha loved the sand and water. Oh man did she get messy!
On Sunday we went to Sea World. We had a lot of fun. Samantha really liked seeing the different animals and watching some of them perform. She even pet a dolphin and tried to pet a bat ray.
She also finally got her 2 bottom front teeth.
