busy

Only two weeks of summer left. It is hard to believe how fast it went.

I am trying to fill the last two weeks with fun things to do for the kids (not that everyday has been some kind of fun activity for them, very spoiled). Yesterday I took them to the beach (six hundred miles closer then our trip last week). Today is a pool day and tomorrow I think we will do a picnic in Princeton (I need to get a few things) and then we have a trip to Baltimore planned for Friday.

Next week will be another busy week. I think we will head into Philadelphia for one more trip to the Please Touch and perhaps a picnic in Rittenhouse. We will get to the beach one day and the pool another and then on Friday we will got into NYC.

One other activity I was thinking to do with them was the crayola factory. I took them years ago and it was a hit. No. four was itty bitty, so it is something I think he would really like. We see how the week pans out.

back

We got back from our relocation to the beach in South Carolina this weekend. I have a hard time calling it a vacation since I find it to be ten times more work then being home. The laundry is endless, some days I do three loads. Sunscreening the four kids and then myself is a task that takes forever. And, the cooking seems to never end as well.

But, the kids have a BLAST. They get to spend time with their cousins who they rarely get to see. It is alway fun to see who hangs with who. The oldest cousin is almost eighteen and my no. four, who is four, was the youngest this year. All the cousins are boys, my two girls are the only is the family, so it is always intesting to see what they do. They LOVE to chat and do things with their aunts.

There is lots of beach time. They also did a creek walk and caught lots of different things. I sat out for that and took lots of pictures (more my thing). There were several game nights (some uncles and cousins are big gamers) which they all love, and one of their favorite things to do is the night walk with the light sticks, always supplies by their aunt.
