Rainy Day at the Shore

It's Monday night and the kids are going to bed later each night. I guess it's because the days are getting longer. I'm watching The Dead playing a live concert in Ohio. It's amazing they stream this stuff. It's my favorite summer ritual. Just sipping bourbon and listening to the music by myself in the basement! Back to the shore.

Ariel slept over Eva's house. The girls were chilling in the morning.

Meanwhile the boys were smashing Cheerios all over the kitchen!

We took a walk to the playground.

We met Ariel there.

Right to the swings.

Awwwww.

Uh oh. The rain clouds were coming.

We went to my parent's house.

Look at Noah's face. Too many toys all at once!

My dad and Eli got into some serious Lego building.

The boys ran all over the house.

Meanwhile the girls relaxed on Mark.

Then they went for ice cream!

That night out sitter from home came with a friend.

We were able to get out for our 11th anniversary! We had a very nice dinner at Sofia.

Then it was back to get the boys to bed.

They are getting daring.

Like the view up there?

Aden went back to sleep over my parents so he could work on the Legos.

Margate Here We Come

It's a very rainy Sunday night. It was supposed to be a rainy weekend but this is the first time it really rained! They totally blew that forecast. We had not planned to go to the shore because we had a lot going on anyway. Ariel's dance recital, Aden's football clinic, a birthday party and The Dead among other things. I guess we better get started with last weekend, which was totally crazy. This is a huge post but I took a ton of pictures last Saturday.

We left late on Friday, around 7:30 and didn't have any traffic getting to Margate. We know people that left earlier in the afternoon and it took between 3 and 4 hours and it took us an hour and a half! The car was so packed and we had so much to unload. The only problem we had with going so late was we weren't sure where the twins were going to sleep. We made it! The house was still there!

I'm not sure if the twins remembered being here.

Amy's parents and the dogs came to visit.

A little snack before bed.

We really thought the twins would be in beds by now and had put away the pack n plays but we put them back together and threw them in.

They aren'y used to beds and might wander during the night.

We cuddled with the older ones a bit.

The big kids found their spots.

And we found ours!

Good morning! The twins were up around 5:30! They played for a bit then went to wake up Aden and Ariel.

It was a beautiful day and Amy's birthday! Amy went to the beach and I stayed back with the twins so they could nap. They took a long time to fall asleep and at one point broke into Fly Eagles Fly!
