Finally Floatin'
We spent the late afternoon on Sunday relaxing and playing in gorgeous, 88 degree, crystal clear water. Yes, the bane of my existence is now my bitch!! We just have to keep it that way. Liam helped me clean the crevice where the liner meets the coping with a toothbrush today. Both of my kids are really good helpers! What's that you ask??? NO, I don't rent them out!! You can have them for free any time you like.

Summer Kickoff
We took our second annual trip to Rehoboth Beach last week and the hot June weather treated us quite nicely. Not too sure how I'm gonna feel about it when I get the next electric bill since our AC and pool filter have been running non-stop, but I'm not gonna get into all that right now. It only aggravates the stress induced muscle pain in my back. Think good thoughts, think good thoughts . . oh yeah, THE BEACH! We had a blast. The kids loved the sand and the ocean. Liam insisted on being buried no less than five times . . . up to his chin. I would rather die. Just the thought of not being able to move my arms makes me start to panic. Anyway, here is our vacation in 25 pictures or less.
We got there on Sunday evening and just had to go down and stick our feet in the water!
Liam's big catch on his first ocean fishing excursion. It was quite a tasty flounder. He was so pumped and excited to show us pictures of his "keeper".
Posed family shots - we got these out of the way early so I wouldn't drive everyone crazy for the rest of the vacation. Yes, I'm that mom.
Eating out is one of the best parts of vacation (at least for me!) We ate at an Irish Pub (above), a delicious steak house, and Phillips in OC, MD. The buffet is now going to be a birthday tradition for Uncle Shniznees. Below, Keira with her idol, Spongebob. She literally tore out of the restaurant and down the street when she spotted him walk by, screaming "Spongebob! Spongebob!" Look at the love in her eyes for one of the creepiest costumed characters I've ever seen.
Sand, sand and more sand, in clothes, in hair, in mouths, and everywhere else. Oh, and salt and rocks and tiny broken seashells that must be kept and brought home. The beach is actually pretty gross, but they don't see it like that, and I hope it stays that way. Sandcastles and waves and relaxing. A week at the shore is just what every family needs.
