Weekend of SUn and Fun


Deb and Ashley joined us for chicken burger dinner last night

Mattie, examining the fire

He wasn't happy till the marshmellows were roated on ALL sides!

Lynn brought hers out before they torched up!

Abbi checked her doneness of the marshmellows, regularly, with the flashlight!

Whats a day at the beach without the surfboards....

Abbi spent half the afternoon fishing for minnows

After the beach, everyone warmed up in the hot-tub

Emil checked the their tickets to see if they were valid for the cart-trip around the world!

And they were offffffff! Cute driver eh??? Just call him Poncho!



Mattie and Abbi on the beach today

tonight, after the storm blew through, we were blessed with a radiant rainbow..actually, a double, if you look close!

Mattie saying cheese...at the start of his great PAradie that he was building in the sand!

Saturday was warm and sunny...just right for a day at the beach

A warm ending!




Today we did a little boat ride with Deb and Ashley, Cate and Jeff, but coming home, the wind picked up and stormy weather hit with a vengence. We were happy that we decided to return when we did!

Deb and Emil, laughing it up

Calm and wonderful on the beach earlier in the day

Lynn, toasting the day!
A wonderful week-end was had by all, as Lynn brought MAttie and Abbi for a an overnight visit. The kids were so cute and good, it was a pleasure to have them here. Abbi was ever helpful, and MAttie was just plain cute and funny as he spurted out amazing sayings ...like "that's just KArma"... Or that his ticket for Emil's cart was good 24-7! How does he know all this stuff??? For a little guy, he was pretty intellegent...and he made us laugh a lot too... So we had a nice week-end ... most of the day on the beach on Saturday, then dinner back at the house, then back to the beach for a bonfire, after Email took the kids int he cart for a ride of a lifetime, around the world! We roasted marshmellows,a nd made schmores and fell into bed after 11:00pm... then back up at 8:00 for a yummy breakfast of french toast topped with raspberries, and bacon.
Okay, it was time out for work. Lynn helped me pick buckets and buckets of raspberries this morning. I froze a bunch, and gave Lynn some to take home and now I am good for a few more days till the next batch ripens.
Lynn's car wouldn't start, so emil did the booster cable thing and got her going... I hope she made it home safe and sound!.
Later,we took Deb and Ashley and Cate and Jeff out in the boat for a little boat ride...Mostly we floated around and played some tunes and laughed and drank beer, until we could see the clouds moving in.
We headed back to home and just in time. Emil had a heck of a time docking the boat as huge gusts of wind came up, but we finally got it all in place... a good time to hi the beach and head for home... thats when the rainbow showed up and gave us a perfect end to the day... Hope your weekend was as fun as ours! Happy week ahead...
Tomorrow night, I am off to see Mama mia with Deb! Take care and have a great week!
