hiatus

well, it looks like everyone has taken

a blogging hiatus.

we were all out of our respective towns a couple weeks ago,

celebrating birthdays and summer.

BML and CMD share a birthday,

RBD follow shortly after.

so all of the boys headed out to Idaho for some

celebratory fly fishing...in the warm Idaho

SNOW.

(i am SURE one of them will tell you about it in the near future.)

on the other hand, FTD, P man, and I

headed to the Emerald coast to visit with mom/bluegee

and grandmother.

is there anything more beautiful?

maybe bathtime with aunt t

 (who learned quickly to just stay in her bathing suit)

or popsicles on the porch...

or fried crab claws, fried fish, and fried shrimp with GG.

we did it all in our short, sweet, wonderful visit

back to our home state.

we beached...

which P loved...the harder the wave smacked him in the face,

the happier his giggles.

the more sand aunt t threw in his face,

the bigger his grin.

we pooled...

 (at 830am - would hate to be there with the crowds)

and on the way back to o-town,

we over heated.

big time.
so, as every floridian would do, we stopped.
at publix.  the coldest, most awesome grocery store
in existance.

p man stole my ice cream sandwich.
it was 102 degrees.
and the car air conditioner went out on us.
he was a trooper.
FTD and I....well...that's another story.
