Beach day...

We hit Spring Lake for a fun beach day with some of our faves!  We haven't done a beach day with them all summer, it's like a sin.  We got there and the girls got right to work!
 Such little beach babes.
 Meanwhile, these 2 found a nice big hole that another family dug out to play in.  They are too much!
 I can't even take the cuteness.
 The big girls took a few waves in with Char and Eric.
 snack time
 Ry loves when the girls want him to play with him.  Brooke took the shovel from my hand to bring to him, he won there!
 These 2!
 ....sandy hineys!
 Love these 4 cutie pies. 
 Thanks for snapping this gem Char.  Love my little god daughter to pieces and the loves I get from her. 
 After the sun and sand, we went back for dinner and fun!  We put all 4 girls into the tub too, I can't even take this!!!! 
 Meant to have little girls.  LOVE LOVE LOVE!
 NUTS!
 Time for some smores!!! MMMMMM!!!!!!
 And one more gem Char got, thanks girl.  LOVE YOU BROOKIE COOKIE!
So much fun with you all.  Thanks for a good time, always!  xoxoxo

Rockport family weekend!

Another fun filled Rockport long weekend in the books!  This year we went down a day sooner to get some more time.  We left Thursday morning.  I was a little hesitant about driving in the car with the girls during day hours, but they did great!  Time to leave, crazy My! 
We got there and headed right over to Irena and Steven's.  HOW AMAZING?!!!
Mya was pumped to see everyone, especially Krysia!
A little throwback Thursday while we were there.  She whipped out some old photo albums that we had so much fun looking through.
Friday morning bed head!
After completely waking up, we walked up to the little coffee shop we remembered from last year.  On the way back, we hit up the beach.
A fun little family selfie.
CANNOT TAKE THIS PIC!
Checking out the boats.
Would love to be in her head one day.
Some duckies came by.  There was another lady there with her grandson who had some bread to feed them, she shared with Ash.  Mya was back at the inn with Ry.
My free bird
We came back after Mya realized there were ducks there but they'd already come and gone.
Time to head over to Steven and Irena's.  It took a team to change Ryan's bandage!
bubble machine madness!
Lunch at Pierce's restaurant.  Silly girl!
Now time to take a walk in town.  The infamous Motif 1.  It was just in this book that I was reading too!
Mya with motif 1 and her ice cream too!
Silly girls
Steven got a nice one.
Tired legs call for a shoulder ride!
Time to feel the water.  So calm and peaceful.
Once their feet were in, they wasted no time running back to our inn (across the street, score) to put their suits on!
It was so beautiful out!
Another amazing time in this little Inn.  So cute and perfect location!  AND, they got an awning this year, so it was super nice sitting on the porch.
We headed out to Gloucester beach that evening for pizza and some booze on the beach.  If the bugs weren't on attack, we would have stayed much longer.  Still had a great time.  So cool to hang on the beach to eat and chill.  So many other people doing the same.  My kind of summer evening for sure!
So many surfers out.
The girls chasing Cioci meow, lol!
Walking to the bridge.
I wish this came out clear of everyone walking back together.
Back to Irena and Steven's for some smores by the fire!
Saturday morning view from our window, I can get used to this!
Another morning, another walk with my fam.
Got them all set up to take a pic.  The sun was super bright, so they did silly faces instead!
LOL
Mya borrowed daddy's shades.
A little fam a lam shot too.
Took a little farther walk, more into town.  Steven told us about this great bakery that had to die for croissants.  You know we had to get some.
We've arrived, with a ton of other people too!  Apparently the best in town, and I do have to agree!
A walk back to our place.  I could stop at every inlet to check it out.  SO SO BEAUTIFUL!
This stud muffin!
This girl loves her shoulder rides!
Over to Steven and Irena's to hang for a bit....the many faces of Ash!

 The view from the hammock in their backyard, AMAZING!
Prepping for watermelon martini's later, YUMM!!!! 
 Steven, Raymond, Mya and I hit the beach for a bit before we headed downtown.  Mya and Steven climbed up these rocks.  Here they are....
 Can you see them from when the camera wasn't zoomed?  It was so cool!
 Mya screamed for me to come up.  The view from the top!  SO BEAUTIFUL!
 Coming back down. 
 We stopped to throw some rocks in the water.
 Me and my boo. 
 I just can't take her.  LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
 Heading downtown.  Another fun shoulder ride, they never get old!
Pierce is in a band and they were playing in town the day we were there. So fun to go and to watch him in his element. 
Jammin out.
We all kept giving the girls cash to put in the guitar box for them.  They were loving it!

A little video of it. 
These 2!  Mya seriously adores Krysia.
Mya wanted to take a pic too. 
These 2, MELT.MY.HEART!
The walk back, got a gem of these 3 with the beautiful view in the background.
Laura got this one. 
Back to Irena and Steven's for some more fun!  Love you guys so much!
Testing out Steven's bike.
Time to bead!
Ash was loving this chair that Steven had.
Time to enjoy the fire works, right off of their deck.  AMAZING!
And of course we had to make some more s'mores.  Ash was on cloud 9, yet again!
Mya too!
The next morning, bright and early. Mya woke me up before anyone else was awake.  She said to me, mommy, everyone's still sleeping and NO ONE is on the rocks.  Let's go climb them.  How could I say no?  I definitely didn't.  Loved the QT with my girl.
Enjoying this amazing view.
There is just so much beauty here. 
Having a blast finding treasures.
Love her so much....
She'll soon be taller than me.  But will always be my little baby girl.
A group shot before we headed out.
SO SO SWEET!
We just adore you guys....
....LOVE!
Thank you so much for another amazing weekend in your beautiful town.  We had so much fun and cherish these memories so close to our hearts.  Can't wait until next year.  Love you guys tons.  xoxoxo
