Back to Reality!!
It has been a few weeks since I've posted. We've been on a major vacation and now it's back to reality--laundry, laundry and more laundry, work deadlines, cooking dinner, football practices, etc. What a great time we had!
If you've never been to Ocean City, NJ, you must go! What an amazing place! We stayed at a beautiful condo (thanks, Ellie!) two blocks from the beach and boardwalk. We had a blast playing in the sand, catching the rays and body surfing. This photo captures a perfect moment in time.
Also, how darling is this? My coworker, Kim, came to the beach for a day with her daughter, Morgan. We couldn't believe Sage and Morgan had matching swimming suits on!
We rented bikes for the week and loved riding around the island on our cruisers.
Loved meeting fellow scrapbooker, Therese, and her family in Ocean City!
We also went to my friend's brother's Barmitzvah celebration on her dad's private beach. Wow--total celebrating in style.
We went to NYC for a day and toured the city and went to Mary Poppins. I highly recommend this Broadway play--excellent!
The boys had to come home after a week for football practice and a Especially For Youth conference with our church. The girls and I went on to Baltimore to visit Amy Ketron and her family.
We dressed like this when we went to the most famous cafe in Baltimore--Cafe Hon.
Elementary school kids had made self portraits like these all over the restaurant. Very clever!
Loved meeting all the scrapbookers at ScrapMasters in Bel Air, Maryland (this is the coolest store with a cafe inside it--you must go). Also all the croppers at the television station the next day.
Our last stop was in Lancaster where we stayed with two old-order Amish families. Brecken stayed with the Riehl's and Sage and I stayed with my dear friend Barbara Fisher. It was cute--I went to check on Brecken one day and she had Amish clothes on, they'd done her hair in Amish rolls in a bun and she was out milking the cows and sweeping up manure. What an experience. I celebrated Rumspringer with Elmer Lee (Barbara's 16-year-old son) which was a once in a lifetime experience.
Loved meeting Christina--another fellow scrapbooker--in Lancaster.
Well--I'd better go put my third to the last load of laundry in.
I have a busy week next week--Backyard Adventures with Lisa Bearnson and CKU. Hope to see you there.
Enjoy the last month of summer.
