i’m never going to finish all of these posts. this is wednesday of our trip, i think. we opted to not go to the beach. cleaning sand off three little people gets tiring. and we needed a break. so, off to the pool. then back to the room for freezie pops. girls. boy. then, we […]

family beach trip. pirates voyage day.

(i’m in a race to get the beach trip all blogged before the first day of school…) i don’t even know what day i’m on. tuesday, i think. because that’s the day we went to pirates voyage. but, we started out the day at the beach. obviously. obligatory baby eating sand photo. anna digging photo. […]
family beach trip. bear building day.

monday was a little drizzly and overcast, so we headed out to broadway at the beach for a little shopping and dining and walking around. and whining. 🙂 here’s the walking. some rock candy soothed the whining. we were hoping to do magicquest with isaac and build-a-bear with anna. but, once were in build-a-bear, isaac […]
family beach trip. sunday funday.

our first full day at the beach was also derek’s birthday. and hazel’s eight month birthday. are the months called birthdays? anyhoooo… here’s the big eight month old at the beach… (here’s what’s happening in her world these days: she’s pulling up. cruising. standing on her own for a bit. pushing around a walker toy.

end of summer beach trip, day one.

we are now almost fully recovered, so i can begin posting about out it… our end of summer family trip to north myrtle beach. usually, we go right after school is out. in june. but, last year, when we were selecting dates, and i was miserably pregnant and heartburny, we thought that postponing as long […]
july 4th and our last day in batavia.

so, in batavia, on the fourth of july, there’s an extravaganza in centennial park all afternoon. i haven’t been to it in years upon years, but this year, we decided to give it a go. i totally should have taken a panoramic shot of all of the festivities. there’s music. and crafty vendors. bounce houses. […]
food and friends. batavia and williamsville.

we continued our western new york eating tour by hitting up the pok-a-dot for some beef on weck and gravy fries. (for newer readers of this blog, my gramma, mom and i all worked at the pok-a-dot. a lot of memories. and old friendly faces. i think it’s a national treasure. no? it should be.) […]
no dads allowed beach trip. day six.

on our last day, we were decidedly beached out. i had no desire to march everyone out there just to have them whining the whole time and then come back in and desand all of them. so. to the pool we went. i didn’t take many pics, because i was mostly in the pool. there […]
no dads allowed beach trip. day five.

day five. back to the beach. for some reason (anna playing with my phone), i took a bunch of pictures in black and white before i noticed. it’s really hard to see your screen at the beach. so you just take lots of pics of random blobs and hope for the best. 🙂 hazel fell […]
no dads allowed beach trip. day four.

ok. after our horrible day. then our “off campus” day. we were ready to try the beach again. and the results were extraordinary. firstly. the kids were well rested and happy. then, hazel fell asleep in the carrier on the way. so, i was able to just set our stuff down and take a seat, […]
