Family Vacation
This last week we had a family vacation. We stayed home because it was easiest with Alex but did we dedicated our time to each other, having fun, and doing the things that we wanted to do as a family. We did A LOT. I have pictures of it all of course and a few of the kids and I at home playing while AJ was at work the week before I am going to throw in for good measure of Alex sitting up, and Brooke ‘mowing’ the lawn. On our vacation we went to an indoor trampoline park, went kayaking, hiking, AJ and I got a date night on the bay, we worked out as a family, went to Bergey’s farm and pet animals and had ice cream, had many days at the pool, went to the NBG and played around with their new frame exhibit and at the splash pad, picked blueberries, I made blueberry pie, ate hamburgers for a 4th of July cookout, went to the fireworks festival at Chesapeake City Park, and had park playtime!
Father’s Day
Today we got to spend the day celebrating AJ on Father’s Day. Alex helped make breakfast by playing quietly while Brooke was a little more hands on in the kitchen. After sleeping in and having a breakfast of blueberry pancakes, eggs, bacon and opening his gifts, we took AJ to cool off in the pool. He had a relaxing afternoon and was treated to a steak dinner. Happy Father’s Day AJ!
Alex’s First Time In The Ocean
Today we took Alex to the beach and it was his first time in the ocean. Going to the beach with a 9 month old is so much work and required so much equipment that another mother nearby commented how glad she was that her youngest was now five years old and she ‘paid her dues’ and now beach days are much easier. After we got our ridiculous set up done we all got to enjoy a bit of time in the water. Alex loved the waves at the shore but even more so when I was carrying him and they crashed on us. He laughed every time. Just like his sister he likes it better when there are big waves versus calm water. As babies do he got tired and unfortunately rubbed sand in his eye which lead to it bleeding and a quick and rushed exit back home. It’s always hard to have a baby at the beach but at least we all had fun for a short while.
