I Know I'm Getting Old When...

...I take a bunch of girls to the pool...

...and I sit at the table, under the umbrella, doing school work, wearing shorts and a t-shirt (not a swimsuit). 

I remember as a kid thinking, "There will never, ever be a time that I will sit on the side of the pool like those old adults."  I'm eating my words....

We've not been doing a whole lot this summer.  Mike has been very busy with work.  Seth came for a visit during the 4th of July...we had rain, rain, and more rain..

...Seth likes to cause me anxiety.

We visited our friends and family in Illinois.  Sadly, I only took pictures of our yummy treats at the Dairy.  But, it was fun watching the kiddos enjoy themselves.  I was quite tamed with a small sundae.

This one belonged to my husband.  He deserved it.

Weekend Away

I left last weekend.  Yep.  I left my husband and 3 daughters at home to visit my son.  Jack was dragged along by his mother, along with a family friend, Tia.

The weather slowly cooperated with us.

Mr. Serious with his mom.

The weather started out very cloudy with some drizzle.  So, we just loafed around town a bit.

Seth looked a little puffy from having his wisdom teeth pulled last week.

We've known Tia and her family since she was 3 years old.  I've been enjoying her visit.

Later, we ventured down to the beach.  We sat in the car for about 20 minutes waiting on the rain to pass.

You can barely see Tia as Seth dragged her out in the surf.

After a while, the sun came out to make us happy.  It was a nice afternoon.  And, no.  I did not get in that freezing water.  At least not past my ankles.
