spring break 2013 day 2

When we woke up on day two of Spring break all was right with the wold! In the night the Timmerings had arrived!

Everyone was excited and happy to have their best friends there....we all had that one person we love to laugh with the most!

It was going to be a good day!

We headed to the beach.....

found some awesome shells.....

jumped in a giant sand hole.....

made sand castles......

and played till our hearts were content!

We had dinner in and after we headed to the beach for our annual beach bonfire!

and to of course..... go crabbing!

It was the best........

truly ......the ......best!

Getting Beachy!

We were here and day one the sun was shining!

and we were happy....joyful is maybe the right word.......

Waves crashing......boys laughing as the cold water whipped their faces......

and feeling victorious every time they were left standing!

and girls...taking in the warmth of the sun....

and sand.......

and dancing....lots of dancing!

We ran into the Obriens right on the beach! So the boys played football.....

and the girls played in the sand......

and I took it all in....watching this all day...being a part of this all day.....

Dinner was out tonight......

and when we were in the souvenir shop Rolls asked for a hermit crab....so please, friends...let me introduce you to Ralph Hardy the newest member of our family! Why not!

Speaking of why not...the boys tried Oysters on the half shell tonight....

Not a favorite dish quite yet but so happy to see them try new things!

It was a great first day!!!!

Easter 2013

We woke up Easter morning and the bunny had come!

Besides chocolate bunnies.......

He brought flip flops......

pool toys.....

 and Sunglasses!

 He must have know we were headed to the beach just as soon as we could eat our chocolate bunnies and throw our stuff in the truck! Such a smart bunny because that is exactly what we did! We drove and when morning arrived we were there! Yhea!

 Spring break had begun and it was exhilarating to be away......

 carefree and happy......

 Just stepping away....sand beneath our feet......felt oh so good!

 We were so happy to be here!

Let the fun begin!

Fair Time!

 The summer isn't complete without a little time at the County fair...so tonight I opened my truck doors any invited anyone who wanted to go to get in! I had a full car and everyone was excited to go!

We rode rides....

 and then ate fair food until we all thought we might throw up! You name it we had it!

 Then we went to ride a few more....

 But we were delirious from all the fair food...and the boys got crazy! Dare you to lick that fence?!.......

 We rode until night fell. Yhea some of of the people look a little shady....and we saw quite a few people loose their lunch on a ride or two but there is just something about the fair lights at night....that just says summer...and brings me back to the fun summer nights I had growing up at the Trimble County fair. But eventually the fun had to end....so  my tired gang packed it up and headed home...County Fair...CHECK!!! Mark it off the summer to do list!
