Sunset at Cherrystone

This is the sunset we’ll be looking at tonight and tomorrow night. Beautiful, isn’t it?

A camping we will go…

Getting it all packed up and ready to head out the door. Keeping the fingers crossed that the clouds stay away and the bugs aren’t hungry. I’ll be back Sunday, so I’ll probably just do two posts today to make up for the missed one tomorrow. Can I do that for my 365? Yes, I can! Because I make up my own rules!

Tired from all the shopping & a photo from yesterday

Misty and I left around 6 today to shop for the remainder of the things we needed for our weekend camping trip. Who knew we’d be out until 10:30? Seriously, we’re only going for two nights! But we have enough to feed the campground, debug the campground, and sunscreen the campground. We must have been Boy Scouts in a previous life, because we are ALWAYS prepared!

The highlight of our night out without kids, other than a trip to Macy’s to pick up a new swimsuit, was our lovely outdoor dining experience at the local Wawa. We really know how to do things up!

Wish us luck, and keep your fingers crossed that the thunderstorms from all of this humidity don’t hit us, and that a cool breeze blows off the Chesapeake Bay at night.

A Day at Janet’s

My childhood friend, Janet, invited us over for a day of swimming, cocktails and a great lunch. Our other friend, Vicky, was also there, as well as Ethan and Kaiden, and Janet’s kids, Shelby and Robert.

Claudia’s 20th!

Today we celebrated Claudia’s 20th birthday. Claudia is both our lifeguard and friend. We had pizza, cake and lots of laughs.

This is why hanging out down at the boardwalk at night can be totally entertaining and fun, even if the band sucks.

Official Lifeguards

Our lifeguards, Lydia and Claudia, presented the kids with personalized Lifeguard T-shirts, lifeguard whistles and floating lifeguard keychains. They are now officially lifeguards.

This has truly been one of the best summers ever! We love our lifeguards, and I *think* they love us, too!

Happy Birthday, Ethan

I should be doing a special birthday post today, but it’s been one busy day full of multiple celebrations and fun times.

As much as I love them…

even my giraffe friends can get a little annoying.
