A Family Day!

It's very rare when Kirch gets a Saturday off. Since it's July 4th weekend, he didn't have to work today so we took full advantage of it. After a yummy lunch at home of turkey sandwiches and fresh raspberries, we packed up and took Quinn to Rockville Town Square to play in the fountain. It was PERFECT outside today! About 85, sunny and a little breeze. I'm a whiner when it comes to warm, humid weather and today was nothing like the typical Maryland summer. I even played in the fountain with Quinn while Kirch sat back and took some pictures of us enjoying ourselves!

Today is a good day, Mommy!

Watch this trick...

Ta - da!

I am having a BLAST!!!

Don't scare my new friend!

I love family days!

When we got home, Kirch fired up the grill and cooked us some hot dogs and we had some spaghetti salad and Quinn and I topped our dinner off with a monster strawberry shortcake. Needless to say, our little water bug was beat-up tired by the time bedtime rolled around!

Camping, 2010

Last weekend we went on our annual camping trip with the Group. This year, along with the Scheleurs and the Mays (who make this trip possible every year), the Fernandezes, Barrons, Smiths, Mains, and one lone Buchoff also joined us. We headed to Happy Hills Campground in Hancock, MD and had a great time! We are not the true camping types anymore, so we were in a SWEET cabin! And I mean sweet - a fridge, A/C, TV, mattresses on the beds - it was awesome!!!

It was a fantastic time - the campground had a pool, a putt putt golf course, a pavilion for our Saturday night pot luck dinner, and a playground for the kids. Quinn had herself a blast in the pool - we are raising a fish! She's never been afraid of the water, but this summer she's taken it a step further - within an hour, she was diving to the bottom of the 3 foot side and picking up diving sticks off the pool floor. That pretty much solidified the fact that we need to give our water lover some swimming lessons!

Each evening was great - we roasted marshmallows and made S'mores, caught up with friends, and just generally enjoyed ourselves for the whole weekend!
