Re: Happy Monday
We had a good time camping and went to a picnic at a friend's house on the fourth. a bunch of people from the picnic (along w/ those we were camping with) came back to the campsite for a big bonfire and fireworks - it was really fun
Yesterday we packed up camp and had dinner at my parent's house followed by watching my cousin's all star baseball game. We sat w/ his girlfriend and I nearly died when she was introduced as such....12 year olds have girlfriends?!?

We spent the weekend in Newport RI with my family, as we do each year around this time (we have a family timeshare). We had a terrific time. The weather was gorgeous, we had good food and and drinks, and lots of laughs. My family is there for the rest of the week, and it was hard to say goodbye!
We did scope out some good parking options that we could take advantage of if we wanted to go to Newport again, maybe just for the day later in the summer. I love it there.

We had a busy/exhausting weekend - but it was fabulous!
Friday we went to a free pirate storytime in Baltimore that was aboard a pirate ship. And because the weather was PERFECT, we opted to take the pirate cruise afterward. We ate lunch on the water and the kids fell asleep in the car. We went to the mall to return all of the Gymboree clothes my parents had bought (too big and we have PLENTY of summer clothes.) Of course we had to ride the elevators/escalators/carousel. Home to grill out the best burgers ever (Sweet Onion burgers from Whole Foods.)
Saturday morning we were up early and went to a local parade with friends. We had a blast - such nice weather. Got Pollo Campero for lunch (YUM) and had a picnic on the deck. The kids took a 3.5 hour nap (WHOO HOO!) and we even got a nap in too! Met up with our friends again and went to the lake in Columbia. We had reservations - but it was far too crowded. Opted to set up a blanket and get the kids ice cream for dinner and let them run around. We walked back to the car hoping we could see the fireworks and were able to see them perfectly and get out of the parking lot quickly. The kids didn't get to bed till 11.
Sunday Grayson was up at 6 and Carter was up at 7 (UGH.) Land I cleaned like crazy people and then took the kids to the playground. Put them down for an early nap and went to Costco afterward. Came home with 2 sets of pirate pajamas (that I am not sure they will ever get out of) and more pull-ups (sigh.) Ate Costco pizza for dinner and let the kids watch Night in the Museum
Well Saturday evening we went to the birthday/4th party for our friend at the lake. We went for a great boat ride with him and his honey. We watched all the fireworks from all around the lake as we sat in the middle in the boat. It was really cool. Much neater than going to a city fireworks display IMO.
After everybody left, it was just the 4 of us so we ended up swimming in the lake until like 4am. It was like bathwater warm and so pleasant that well....we were skinny dipping. haha! I read all the other posts of what you all did for your holiday and Sandy and I have decided we are the naughty ones! haha! But it is so refreshing and freeing to be naked in the water. Nothing crazy went on. We just drank and talked and laughed and if we hadn't gotten so waterlogged, we might have stayed til daylight.
Sunday we had to catch up on sleep and then my mom cooked us homemade Jumbalaya (sp?) and homemade corn bread. MMMMMMM!!!
It was a great weekend. No drama and lots of fun.
i felt the baby move.
and we had a great weekend with her parents and a good time with her family on the 4th. not too much excitement, but that's not a bad thing.
