Such a clever title, no? LOL! We got home this evening from our weekend up north.
As usual, it was a great time. The weather was perfect- I really love it when it is just warm enough and the gentle breeze cools you instantly. We actually drove up on the 4th since we were staying an extra day. Here is a sneak peek at our weekend:
A little bit of softball- it is always fun to have everyone participating! :)
A little bit of waiting...
...for the fireworks!!!
Of course, there was also a jet skiing adventure, some swimming beforehand and a movie night that included the Princess Protection movie and Field of Dreams. (btw: How did I not see Field of Dreams before?!) We had BBQ and iced tea and even strawberry shortcake! Yum!
And, in keeping with the tradition that we started last year, Mia is spending the week with Grandpa & Grammie. I thought this year would be a little easier on my mama heart but alas, it was not. :(
I think Mia being a year older, she has a little more perspective. I am sure that she is going to have a wonderful time though. G&G are fabulous and they love her to pieces... in grandparent translation that equals ice cream, shopping, staying up late and lots of chocolate milk.
She is only staying until Friday afternoon so I told her to live it up and enjoy. I can't wait to hear about her adventures. :)
Speaking of adventures, mine are over for the time being... this 4-day weekender needs to get some sleep because reality hits in the morning when I have to be to work!

I bet she's having fun!
That picture of her on the giraffe is cute!

Homeboy knows how to pitch the softball! Did he play professionally?
