Sparklers
He has some good pouty faces 
Everyday he took a nap on the beach. We just laid him down and told him to take a nap and he did! All that fresh air and sound of the waves

Proof I was actually on the vacation.So i am really behind with the blog. We just got home from a week long stay in Topsail, NC. It was so nice and relaxing. We didn't do much but sit on the beach during the day and cookout at night. We went with my parents, sisters, John and Vicki, and Terri, Mike and their 3 kids. Everyone got along great and it was a nice change in scenery. The seafood was awesome. If you see She-Crab soup, give it a try. My dad has a knack for ordering whatever the restaurant is out of that night. Makes for a laugh or two. The first day we got there, there was a shark at the beach, not far from where the kids were playing. Thank goodness i didn't see it, or i might never have gotten back in the water. Mom and I were at the local IGA (where they still hand ticket everything and manually enter in prices when you check out) during the shark visit. One day we went to an aquarium just north of us. The kids really enjoyed it and it was a good way to spend a rainy afternoon. The big kids worked on sandcastles everyday on the beach then my kids played in them. The tide usually destroyed everything by the end of the day which saved us a little work (there was a rule about digging deeper then 12 inches, turtles could fall in the hole and get stuck.) A couple nights we went crabbing which was really fun. After dark we got a bunch of flashlights and went down to the beach. All the crabs were out and running around, of course the kids loved chasing them around.
Tomorrow is tie-dying day at our house. I think we should have a good group to do it. My p's leave Friday for the Brickyard and Matt leaves Saturday for it. He will be back Monday and then I am leaving with the kids tues or wed for Overland Park, KS, for softball Nationals. I am going to get to visit Summs while i am there too! The Burbon 5 is working hard in the month of July! Mia is going to Vacation Bible School when we get back and that should be a good testing of the waters for preschool in the fall. FALL, I can't believe that it is right around the corner.
I am still busy sewing up a storm. So if you have placed your order, I am playing catch up right now and hope to have everything caught up before I leave next week. Thanks!!
