It’s been a rough couple of weeks adjusting back to “normal” after our beach vacation. Plus, add the fact that Hubbie went away for the weekend to attend Queen’s funeral and then, we both got sick. Yeah, good times. It was some nasty stomach virus and the only up side was that the kiddies did not get it. THANK GOODNESS. But, needless to say, the house has not been cleaned and there is laundry piling up. It took all my energy yesterday to get the house refilled with groceries and toiletries. Today, I feel much more “normal.”
I was also able to FINALLY download all our beach photos! We go to Myrtle Beach, SC every summer with my parents and my sister’s family. They all drive south. We drive north. We meet in the middle. It’s the best case scenario for everyone. It’s so awesome for all the cousins to hang out together. They are all around the same age and they love each other so much. We spent loads of time on the beach, in the waves, in the awesome indoor/outdoor pools, and at Broadway at the Beach.
July 4th is one of my favorite holidays and we threw a party in our beach hotel room to celebrate. We decorated the windows and had crafts for the kids. Hubbie made some mean hot dogs and chicken fingers and my sister was in charge of the red, white and blue ice cream treats. We watched A Capitol Fourth on PBS and danced along to the live performances. Even Grandma and Grandpa. The night was perfect. (Although Annabel did miss the flag painting because she was so exhausted. You can see her in the background just snoozing on the sofa. But, don’t worry, she was awake before dessert and the fireworks on the balcony.)
