First Movie Campout

We managed to drop the rakes and shovels early enough to set up for the season's first movie night. And for dinner, why not start a pathetic little bonfire...

Weenie roast 

She doesn't want to burn her marshmallows 

 Perfect.

All that was left was to choose the movie...

A Deck For Organized Sports

We went to the Trunks for dinner last night so we could check out their new enormous deck

the girls already deemed it a dance floor

Isobella went to bed on time and Yuula stayed up all night, as usual. They better figure it out in time for sleepovers.

Bonfire, wine and pie is all we could've asked for

The Kelly's Make Us Hungry

our new site on the beach

Just as we pulled ourselves from the white sandy beaches of Assateague we saw the Kelly's trailer pull up to our site. Good timing. Plus we were all straving. Even better timing. Barb found a nice little place called The Shrimp Boat, which was actually a boat and had actual shrimp.

That's Bill having a blast

We hit the boards on Ocean City

The decision to get ice cream was easy. Which ice cream stand to get it was hard.

Most of Yuula's cone ended up in her lap. All of Laura's cone ended up in her lap.

Shopping at the local produce stand for some fixins

It was all about the food, apparently.

When we got back to the site Yuula was worn out completely from the whole week. She had a yogurt and passed out.

That gave the adults time to talk and have a drink or two

It was a nice relaxing evening, perfect to end out the vacation, nice breeze coming off the ocean, warm fire to heat our toes, and minimal sand in our crevasses.

If You Stitch It They Will Come

let's catch up...

Laura busted out the sewing machine last week

it was a large undertaking

Curtis, Eliot & Erica showed up for dinner on Sunday

Yuula got first choice of what to view

we are all fans of fire and smores

Katie showed up late but we had one waiting for her

heading back to the big screen, we started off with a little Louie

and after a brief stab and streaming the new Batman but unsatisfied with the quality we settled in on The Big Lebowski, and then we all fell asleep in the yard

Yay!

Showing Off The Wilderness

Yesterday we took the gang to one of our favorite local spots, the Bushkill Falls. A lovely system of staircase intertwine within the natural landscape between rushing waterfalls, frightening forges and serene lakes. We should all go.
