John has spent the past two summers at Briar Hill Camp in Freehold. I’m so glad that I found this place. This camp has all activities on the property, so I don’t have to worry about traveling for trips. They have instructional swim in the morning and free swim in the afternoon, plus they get… Continue reading John’s camp 2015
John went to the beach again today with Aunt Betty, Grandma and Grandpa. He is quite the beach bum. He loves to build castles, search for shells (or sand dollars) and just catch some rays. But his favorite thing has to be playing in the waves. He spends most of his time at the beach… Continue reading Beach boy
Today was John’s last day of camp. He was not happy that the end was here. This morning he said “I just wish summer would last forever.” I can’t blame him. This summer has been really great. We found a great camp for him and he has had a lot of fun. He has gotten… Continue reading Last day
Today was John’s first day at Briar Hill camp. Since his camp is close to my office, I get to drop and pick him up. We arrived at camp and I walked in with John. He dropped his bag and immediately went over to a boy that way playing. I checked him in, gave him… Continue reading First day of camp
Yesterday, we spent the day at Aunt Missy’s parent’s house. The Akers (or DaBakers as Gilly says) have a pool and we were lucky to be invited over to BBQ and swim. The kids didn’t waste any time and were in the pool within minutes of our arrival (which means mommy was too). Gillian insisted… Continue reading Swimming
John and Gillian spent the night at Mimi and Poppy’s house last night. Daddy and I went to pick them up and found them playing in Mimi’s backyard on John’s big water slide. They were so excited to see us and tell us about their night. After a quick hello, John showed us how he… Continue reading Waterlogged
We took the kids to Aunt Missy’s parents house today to go swimming. It was our first time in a big pool this summer. John was super excited to go in the water. But once he was in, he got a little nervous. He forgot that he could touch the bottom on the low end… Continue reading Kick!
School was closed on Friday. I asked Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Betty to watch the kids for the day. Since Grandma and Grandpa go to the beach everyday they decided to take the kids with them in the morning. Aunt Betty didn’t have school on Friday so she joined them. Also, Aunt Trish had the week… Continue reading Beach Day
I had to run a bunch of errands today. Daddy was working today so it was just me and the kids. I piled them into the car around 9 so that we could get to Costco when they opened. It was a gorgeous morning and the kids wanted their windows down. As we are driving… Continue reading Blustery
Last night we took the kids to the Italian Festival at Freehold Raceway. There were rides and food and fireworks. John was very excited about going on the rides. The first one he went on Gillian was able to go with him. She was a little unsure at first going by herself, but after the… Continue reading Italian Festival
