The Shore 2019

It's Monday night.  We went to a lovely Labor Day party at Ariel's friend Mika's house today.  Before that, we lounged in bed.  Tomorrow all the craziness begins.  School and activities for everyone.  The last 2 days we got as much rest as we could.  Let's finish off the Shore 2019.  

Last Sunday, our friends from Florida left pretty early.  I took the kids to play mini golf.  
 My dad joined us.  
Noah takes it very seriously.  



 Amy's parents walking by with Cooper.  

 This hole was under water!
 There's Cooper.  

 Back to my parent's house to lounge around.  Amy and I went back to the house to pack up.  We had 3 months of stuff to organize.  
 We celebrated being done by going to Amy's favorite restaurant, Steve & Cookies.  She could live on their clam chowder.  
 We stayed up late just trying to take in the house.  We will miss it.
 Monday morning we got to say goodbye to Charlie.  
 Brandon and Ashley stopped by before we left.  

 Ashley got Ariel a friendship necklace that splits in 2.
Until next year!


 My parents and Amy's parents took a lot of our stuff and we still barely got everything left in my car.  
 I will have to go back to clean out the garage another time.  
 Bye house!



 On the way out, we stopped at Hannah G's for a late breakfast.  
 We were home by early afternoon.

It's My Popcorn!

Well we had a fun weekend.  Full of weddings and togas!  It's Sunday night and I'm so glad we are off tomorrow.  I need a day to recover.  Let's go back to last Saturday.  

I woke up with someone sharing my pillow and it wasn't Amy!
 The kids were up early playing.  
 Eli found something in the kitchen.  Nothing like caramel corn for breakfast!
 Hey, stay away from my giant bucket.  I'm not sharing!
 We stopped by Lucy to show Maya.  
 Then we went to the Ventnor playground.  I watched the kids while Amy, Erika and Mike took a walk on the boardwalk.  

 Maya took charge.  She gave Ariel a break.  

 Beach time!  It was a beautiful day.  Almost cool.  Our friends are from hot Florida and were loving it.  Mike and Maya took over the cart.  They big one I had rented was taken away.  
 I didn't take that many pics.  Eli wasn't feeling well and Noah was tired.  

 We had Dino's steaks delivered to the beach.  They loved them.
 Nice family pic!
 Maya in the ocean.  
 The boys were out of it.  While I felt bad for them, it kind of worked out for me.  There were tons of people on the beach I wanted to talk to.  
 I spent a little time cuddling with them.  
 Back to the pool for a little.  

 My parents had fun catching up with Erika and Mike.  
 Back home, I grilled up some dinner.  
 My family joined us.  
 Playing around after dinner.  

 We walked Aden to my parent's house so he could sleep there.  On the way back, we ran into Ashley.  
 The girls played for a while before we headed back to go to bed.
