We are in Newport at the beach. Joe was working here most of the week, so we decided to join him. It just happened that there are not any basketball games this weekend, so we are clear and free.
Thursday -- Boys have early release from school, but I have to work. We left at 4:39 (not bad... I wanted to leave by 4:30). Jeep is with us and Molly is at the Freedom Farm.
Friday -- Gorgeous, sunny morning. We decided to head to the beach. Joey spotted a nice spot on our way back from breakfast, so we packed up and headed over to it. Nice soft sand to lay in and 'dunes'. The kids ran and ran up and down the dunes... with Jeep in tow. They played Star Wars on the dunes... I was the droid to avoid i.e. Mom with camera. They found a fort that someone had built and they added to it.
Then, it was time to swim. We headed to the hotel pool and they played and hot-tubbed. Emmi is becoming a good swimmer. Stefan and Joey made up games about falling into the pool... silly boys.
Next, quiet time... my favorite! After showers, we lounged around for an hour and watched tv, played on the internet, etc. Stefan fell asleep (so did Joe and I).
Then, it was time to rally the troops to head to a customer's (friend) house for dinner. Jeep came along and played with their dog, Bradshaw (as in Terri Bradshaw... how funny). There were three families for a total of 7 kids. They ran and played and had a blast. We had a great dinner (grilled steak and chicken, company potatoes and salad) and a yummy dessert.
Today, we will head to Newport Aquarium. It is a yucky day outside, so it's the perfect day to be at the aquarium. We haven't been there is years, so we are all looking forward to it.
I'll post pictures when we get home.
