Super summer fun



We went swimming one afternoon. It was nice and refreshing. Jeff did the coolest motor boat slpash and Owen couldn't get enough of splashing us in the face.

Here is Miriam at Roots farmers market in Lancaster. She is about the dive into a traditional pennsylvania funnel cake.

Owen couldn't find any flowers to pick me so he just brought me this stick instead insisting it was a flower. We kept it as a center piece for a few days. It seriously made me just as happy as a dozen roses. He was so sweet and excited to give it to me.





Owen and I tried to bury ourselves in the sand. Owen kept saying "It's so cozy!"




Owen loved playing in the water. The waves were quite fierce at times and would knock him over so I taught him to run back up the beach everytime a big one crashed. Playing in the water was his favorite, but a close second was rolling in the sand. Once I looked over at him and he had just taken a bite of sand and was holding it in his mouth. "How is it?" I asked. "Get it out mommie!!!!!!!" was all he could say.


In the evening we walked on the boardwalk enjoying boardwalk fries and some ice cream. It was really crowded, we couldn't believe it. We walked all the way down to the end where it was quieter and went out and enjoyed the evening waves. The ocean is so beautiful and amazing!

So Caroline...when are you going to start looking like you're pregnant? Shouldn't you start to show some more soon? It looks like you guys had a lot of fun at the shore...we wish we could have been there.

Awesome pictures. I agree with Jon, you hardly look pregnant. Maybe by November? Is that your cool beach umbrella--the big blue one?

Caroline said...

oh come on, I thought everyone would be commenting on the beached whale picture! It took great pains for me to put that on the blog. Laurissa- that big blue one is the one I rented. Ours is the little blue and white one which is only big enough to shade the cooler.

I am so jealous!!! I wish that I could have been there! It looks like all of you had so much fun! I wish that I could have played with you at the beach. I miss all of you. I Especially miss Owen always talking to me.

I love the look in Owen's eyes where he's holding the stick. He looks so proud and happy that he did something nice and made you happy!

I'm going to have to try Owen's stick idea with Kanien...it could save me some serious cash!!!

I am so jealous at all the fun you have been having. I am still trying to figure out when my life will get back to normal. I am wishing that you were here right now so I can have some motivation to work some more on this quilt.... help!!!
