OH to be a kid again....

This weekend we had our fabulous friends from Cape Cod down for a kiddie reunion at Sesame Place. It is always entertaining to have Bella and Ellie together.  I, unfortunately, did not get a single picture of us at Sesame Place!  We were too busy running from water ride to amusement ride with a group of 11 to even bother with phones or cameras.  But, there's always next year!  Here are a few that I was able to capture.

Together again!  Love these two girls.

Such sweet and helpful children

Looks like trouble for the future.....

Not too enthusiastic

Happy birthday Isabel!

Wet noodles and self-grooming

 :)  I really don't want her to grow out of this stage....

Have a great weekend!

Touch-A-Truck

Perfect timing for a gorgeous summer night.

Normally I would be afraid to take Ellie out in the evenings, because let's face it, the girl needs her sleep.  But tonight was the annual Touch-A-Truck National Night Out and our favorite Coastie was there showing the kids the Strike Team's mobile command center (aka Nascar trailer), robots, and one of their boats.

To say Ellie had a good time is an understatement.  She had a freakin' blast!  The girl loves cars, trucks...basically anything with a wheel that she can "drive".  Added bonus:  bouncy house. "Mommy, jump? jump? jump?"   She'd never done it before but saw some boys doing it and just had to join.  (Okay.... STOP. GROWING. UP. SO. FAST!)

My handsome hubby and little El-bug.

Can't get enough of that smile! ;)

Happy Birthday Coast Guard!!!

Fun Fact to Know and Tell:  The Coast Guard is 223 years old.  Bet most of you didn't know that!  :)

Every year various units put on a fun picnic for all the members and family to enjoy.  Here are some pictures from this year's CG Day at the Atlantic Strike Team.  They do things right....kids LOVE water!!!

Island girls ;)

"Cheeeese!"

Girlfriends

The biggest slip and slide I've ever seen

First time around a clown....wasn't so sure how this was going to go.

But then she decided she wanted the clown's purple nose....and a butterfly on her cheek...and a lady bug tattoo.
