At Last...

The sun came out!



We played beach volleyball, frisbee, made sand castles, swam in the ocean, jumped some waves, made it to pool...we did it all!!!

Rain, rain go away!

We are in Virginia Beach and it's raining, raining, raining. I think Crow might have brought the rain with her (but don't tell her I said that!).


It hasn't stopped us from enjoying ourselves! We went out on the beach yesterday and this morning, rain or shine, I mean rain or clouds.

Leo and Crow shared a bed last night. Poor Crow. Leo is a bed hog and a back kicker. His head was down where his feet were supposed to be! Half the bed was empty because poor crow was sleeping on the edge. Aidan got the roll away bed and was a happy camper.

Virginia Beach

We're on our way to Virginia Beach! Cars packed up, it's 10am and we're on 95 S headed for the ocean. As usual, there is traffic on 95 S. I don't understand why but I just take it for a given now.

It's okay because we have the DSs, books, nooks, magazines, iPods, best of Queen CDs, kids bop CDs, snacks, etc. AND Crow!



It's a bit overcast and a lot cooler but we're hoping for a little sun and lots of fun to wrap up our summers.

More soon!!!

Taking it Easy

The boys slept great last night on the back porch except for the rain, thunder and lightening at 5am. I woke up from the rain and thunder to see if they were wet but they were still sleeping. Marc and I were trying to decide if they should go in and Leo and Aidan woke up. Leo wanted to come in and Aidan wanted to stay out. Leo and I headed in and a huge crackle of thunder sounded and Aidan said "I'm coming in!!!"

Today we had pizza and Blue Moon at Bottom's Up brewery and then we went to play on the rocks in the James river. It was fun laying on the rocks, with our backs to the rapids and floating around. It was super humid and raining a little. The boys said it was kinda scary but also very fun! We headed home when we heard thunder!

Tonight we made delish S'mores! Its an awesome saturday treat! I think the boys will sleep inside. It's crazy humid this weekend. Squatches don't really like humidity. It's bad for their hair-it makes their fur frizzy!



PS Squatches like PB&J

Squatch Watch

The boys and I are in Richmond spending the weekend with Uncle Marc and Aunt Cindy.

Uncle Marc convinced Aidan and Leo to sleep on the porch-a little camping style. They agreed. What?!?




They put some sandwich out in the backyard to entice the squatch. Now their sleeping on the covered porch with flash lights carrying out squatch watch.

Let's see how it goes! Uncle Marc might be in for a wild night!

Poutine and Donuts

So, Saturday, as many of you know is our diet day off so it was no holds barred.

We started the morning with Tim Horton's donuts which is a donut shop all over the city. Our favorite was the donut holes! They have raspberry, lemon, cinnamon, chocolate, powdered...my favorite was the cinnamon.

Next we did a little research to find the best place for Poutine: French fries, cheese curds and gravy. Oh my!! We went downtown to Caplansky's Deli. It was the best thing I have eaten in a long time! The key is the gravy and the squeaky curds!



Then we walked around the waterfront and contemplated taking a ferry boat to the little islands but everyone and their brother had the same idea so we walked more in town to check out the free Inuit art gallery exhibit at a bank. It was mostly sculpture and I prefer painting but it was interesting still.



Then we headed over to a very trendy neighborhood called the historic distillery district which has a number of shops and restaurants and ice cream! Chocolate, cinnamon, toasted marshmallow, vanilla, orange cream, yum!



Finally, we headed back to the hotel for one last go in the pool and dinner of fish and chips!

Today, Sunday, we are on our way back home! It just took us an hour to get through the border crossing. Oh boy.
