Memorial Day weekend

Memorial Day was loads of fun.  Got to spend time with all our beach friends, celebrate Katie's birthday and have the Bober's over again for their third annual Memorial Day visit.

A pre-summer start

We got a stolen day before Memorial Day started to enjoy some truly wonderful weather.  We had tacos and enjoyed the pool.

Lily bridges up from Brownies to Juniors in Girl Scouts

Last night Lily bridge up from Brownies to Juniors in Girl Scouts.  Her first year proved to be a huge success.  She had amazing leaders to help guide her, she met some really great girls, she learned a bunch and had a great time.  And she can't wait for next year.

Amazing trip to Panama City Beach

This week, we had the most amazing time in Panama City Beach... despite a lot of painting, tiling and other maintenance, we still managed to get in some great beach time, sunsets, shopping and all around fun times.

Fantastic weekend with friends in Virginia

This last weekend we were fortunate to spend the weekend in Virginia with our beach friends at one of their normal homes.  Karen, John and Katie hosted us all weekend and boy did we ever have fun.  We were also joined by Sam, Chloe, Don and Holly too.  One big party. 

Lily and Katie hit a sock hop dance at Katie's school on Friday night.  Then we had pizza and cheese tray for dinner.  On Saturday we went to Trump National for lunch and boy was that an experience.  Saturday afternoon we headed to the Air & Space Museum at Dulles airport and boy, did it knock my socks off.  Completely amazing and one of the last few Smithsonian Museums I hadn't seen.  Then there was a bonfire for hot dog grilling and smore making for dinner.  Followed by movies in their in house cinema (yes this house was over the top huge and awesome).  It was so fun spending the weekend with such great friends.

The next Kids Baking Champion

Lily and I love watching Kids Baking Championship each season on TV.  And each episodes seems to inspire some new creativity in Lily.  Here is a bundt cake covered in fresh strawberry puree from the next Kids Baking Champion!

What goes up, must go down... unfortunately - Lily's first bike fall

Unfortunately upon returning to Delaware, Lily suffered a pretty good fall on her bike while she was out biking with all her friends.  Unfortunately she had a mild concussion, but luckily no stitches.  It was close, but she escaped any needles.  We've had to watch her for several days now but hopefully she is on the mend and will heal fast.
