Another day at the beach...

Another day at the beach! Wow...we really are spoiled living on the coast. Today we went to Little Island with the Robinsons and the Gibsons. All 6 kids got along great...they dug, boogie boarded, swam, jumped waves and dug some more. At one point, the three boys got pulled out by a pretty strong undertow. A little scary for all involved, but thankfully all ended well. Colby was really freaked out by the whole situation and swears he's never going boogie boarding again. We'll see...

Even though the day started off very smokey (from the wildfires), it cleared up and we got to see dolphins!

The Halsey's come to visit!

What a fun week we've had! Our friends and old neighbors from northern Virginia came to Virginia Beach for a vacation. We hung out, went to the beach, swam in the pool, visited the Aquarium, had a BBQ and caught up with everyone's busy lives. The kids played together PERFECTLY! Colby and Bret are 6 months apart and Chase and Marisa are 6 days apart. We could not have asked for a better visit! We miss them as neighbors, but it's nice that we've maintained our friendship :) Thanks for a great visit Chip, Cary, Bret and Chase!!

Pool Party!

Our cub scout boys officially crossed over from Tigers to Wolves, and we had a pool party to celebrate! Thanks to Judi for hosting such a fun event :)

We swam, ate and made tie-dyed shirts (thanks Rachel!) in preperation for camp in July. Courtney, Kim and I are so glad to be a part of such a great group of boys!

A Day at the Beach...

What a fun day at the beach! On Friday, we went with the Erwin's to Little Island at Sandbridge. The kids kept themselves busy all day long digging for sand crabs, boogie boarding and jumping the waves. Kim and I were able to sit, relax and catch up. Summer is officially here!

Another missing tooth!

I have never seen a child more determined than Marisa! I heard her run in the bathroom. Thinking she was talking to herself, I heard her say, "this is SO exciting, I have to show Grandma!" She ran out of the bathroom to show us how her tooth was dangling. Seriously, she was giddy with excitment! She was jumping around the house chanting, "pull it out! pull it out!"

She was not content until that bottom tooth came out. So, here she is, minus 2 very cute baby teeth :)

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the best dads in the world!

An evening with the Tides...

Last night was Boy Scout night at Harbor Park. Before the game, all the boys got to go on the field while they introduced the baseball players. Afterwards, all the kids got to run the bases. Needless to say, it was a very late night, and the kids are both super grouchy today!

Cheryl's big birthday weekend in Florida!

Happy 50th Cheryl!!
