Beach Week 2009

We're back by popular demand! And not because we have an injury to report or some sort of big news. Just the normal stuff. I had no idea anyone still read this blog (other than family). I told John a minute ago that I posted a blog on my painting website today, and he said that people were beginning to wonder where we were on this blog. So, here we are! I'm sorry the other blog is trumping this one at times.

We returned on Monday from a 10 day trip: Garden City for a week, wedding in Raleigh and then to G'boro to pick up the boys. Everything we did was fun. Seriously we had one of the best vacations we've had in a long time, but I honestly think we returned home more exhausted than when we left! I guess that's how vacations go with little ones around.

Here's what we did at the beach:

Wore Batman pajamas when we weren't wearing swimsuits....

Walked to the dock, to the house, to the dock, to the house, to the dock, to the house. Repeat.

Celebrated Father's Day with the best Poppy in the world! We celebrated with the world's best Poppy Johnny before we left.

Wore swimmies everywhere we went so Mimi wouldn't have a heart attack on the dock.

Threw cast nets for the first time. Owen (pictured below), Adam, Anna and Jack all took their turns.

Kayaked until the sun went down. (Owen, Jack and John)

Posed for many pictures

Promised each other we would not rock the boat.

Prayed that the dock would support this family photo op.

Acted normally....


I have to say that we have the best families around. Ever. We could not be more thankful to God for those who care for us most.

ERIN. I finally caught up on your blog. First of all, I will NOT believe you that the kid in those pictures is Owen. It is not possible that enough time has passed since college that he would be that grown-up, and I would appreciate it if you would quit with the spreading of such nonsense.
Second, your family is so much fun. Seriously- I have fun just reading about all your adventures. I even texted Lauren and Drew to share some Jack quotes with them, because they were so amazing.
