What a fun day!!

My dear friends, Shannon and Noelle, brought their girls over to swim
today. It was so great catching up. Pictures:

"Is that yours or mine?"

We had family game night tonight, and it was a blast! There was a
lot of laughter and just an overall fun time. Here are some pictures.

Getaway

We are back at my parents' house from our days at the Jersey shore.
We had so much fun, but it's also good to be back.

Today's picture is one that I took while conquering my fear of
heights. I rode a ferris wheel alone. And I took pictures!!!

The boys

While we are in New Jersey, my parents have the kids. Here is a
picture my mom sent of T. Willy and his cousins playing in the pool.

I've never seen these in Florida.

The view from (close to) the top.

We're on a little beach getaway. Here is the view from our hotel room.

Pics

We went to a place called Battery Park tonight. It's on the Delaware
River and is a place I went many times as a kid. So here are
pictures of it.

The Barber

T. Willy's hair has gotten a little shaggy, so my nephew volunteered
to cut it for him. He did a really good job.

Cousins!

Where you can find me...

On the porch swing, eating Rita's water ice (lemon,) reading a book.

If we're in Delaware...

We're at Dairy Palace.

Where we are...

And how T. Willy spent his day....his entire day.

Look, Mom!!!

We're on a plane. Better than we did yesterday!!!

The face and feet of 4 a.m.

We're in the airport shuttle on our way to try this again.

Not so fast.

So...we went back to the airport. And around 7:00 realized our plane
wasn't there for, you know, our 6:55 flight. So we sat. They finally
made an announcement that it would be another hour, then another
hour. We'd definitely miss our connection, but they'd get us a hotel
room in Charlotte. Then they made an announcement that all of the
hotel rooms in Charlotte were full. So, we could go home, sit in the
Charlotte airport all night, or (the option we chose) get a hotel near
the airport and catch a flight in the morning. It worked well,
because the Big Man works early in the morning. We are trying to view
it all as an adventure, and we're really hoping things go smoothly
tomorrow. I'd better get some sleep. We have a 3:50 wakeup call, and
I don't want to miss anything. Good night!

So that was fun.

We went to the airport at ten for an 11:00 flight. Our flight was
cancelled, so we rebooked by phone. When I went to the counter to get
the boarding passes printed, reservations had only been made for two
of us. Good grief. So they booked us for 6:55. I couldn't see
sitting in the airport for 4+ more hours, so the Big Man came to get
us. We're home and we'll try this again tonight. It's much later than
anticipated, but it will be worth it when we get there.

T. Willy fell asleep for a few minutes, and there wasn't much else to
do, so I took pictures. MK and I loved that he fell asleep with his
hand in his pocket.

Travelin'

So we're on our way to the airport to go to DE for two weeks!!! And I
know I'm not supposed to advertise going out of town, but any unsavory
characters wanting to rob us reading this shouldn't get too excited.
The Big Man, our alarm and our vicious attack cat will still be
there. See you in eastern time!

Happy Father's Day!!!

We started our day with a big breakfast and gifts for the Big Man,
then we went to church. We just had lunch, and now it's time to
pack! It's been a full day already. Our flight leaves this time
tomorrow, so I'd better get busy.

Party day

MK and T. Willy were both invited to parties today. We went to T.
Willy's first then left a little early to take MK to hers. They were
both pool parties, and it was a perfectly hot and humid Florida day -
just right for the pool. I only have a picture of T. at his party: I
don't get to go to MK's parties anymore.

Now I'm sitting on my porch playing an online word game with the Big
Man's mom. It could nearly be described as "cool" sitting out here.
There's a light rain falling, and the bugs aren't biting me to death.
We leave for DE on Monday, so between church, the things we have
planned for the Big Man and packing, it will be a full day!
