Father's Day Weekend Bonus Post

Thought we'd share some of the pics that made the cutting room floor when we recapped our past two weekends. Enjoy!

Crabs were on the menu at the picnic on Saturday. Kacy is getting quite good at picking her own.

Daniel chilling out on the way to the beach Sunday.

And catching some rays.

Fishing on Uncle Matt and Aunt Alyssa's pier. 

The boys.

Cousin Henry was too cute not to include.

Roaring Into Summer

Sorry for the delay. Not much blogging going on while Dave and I were running around the Mediterranean on my company's corporate trip. That was May. June is here. Let's start with last weekend.

The pool is open! We got suited up and headed to BYC for some fun with friends.

 After sun and swimming, we headed back to our house for pizza and birthday cake. Kacy and Jack as always were partners in crime.

 Miss Gia.

Birthday girl Abby.

There was cake to celebrate Shelley and Abby's big day (shared) on June 9.

Kate was a fan.

Fast forward to this past weekend....

The Haines company picnic fell on what will probably be looked back on as the most gorgeous Saturday of summer. Sunny and 75.

Face-painting and charicatures were on the to do list. We are thinking of hiring the artist to come to our house on a regular basis as this was the longest waking-hour stretch Daniel has been quiet in a while.
He chose to be drawn as a monster truck driver. I am sure many of you are shocked.

There were kayaks to give a whirl. Both kids were in love.

To round out the day, my good sports participated in the pie eating contest. No winners here, just faces full of pie.

For Father's Day, Dave wanted to spend the day with the fam and go fishing. We headed south to Chesapeake Beach for the day.

Thankfully we had bathing suits and beach toys in the car to keep Daniel occupied after his 10 minutes of fishing fun. Kacy joined after waiting patiently (with no action) for quite a bit longer. Daddy didn't get a big catch but had a nice day on the pier.

We hope everyone had a great Father's Day!

Easter in the Sunshine State

We hit the road (or the air, as it were) and took a quick trip to Florida for Easter. Boots and GranDan have a condo there for the month, and so we made ourselves right at home.

As an extra bonus, cousin Will introduced us to his brand new baby sister, Sadie LoRaye.

Kacy was happy to help with Sadie-holding duty.

There was a trip to play some mini golf. Along the way, there was the chance to feed some seriously-overfed alligators.

Daniel's club-holding technique clearly needs some work. Will's on the other hand is PGA-worthy.

Back at the condo, we had some wildlife visitors daily.

The Easter Bunny found us in Bradenton, not to worry.

The big bunny left fun hats for all.

B&G with Sadie on Easter Sunday.

The beach for lunch was in order on Monday.

It was a wonderful weekend that ended too quickly. We hope everyone had a great Easter!

Spring Fun Part 2: Sunday Funday at Camden Yards

The gorgeous weather continued this weekend, and we got to see the Orioles take on the Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon.

Alas they lost, but we had a fun day in the sun.

 Dave was pretty proud of his photo bombing abilities on this one.

Hanging with Mr. Boh was a nice added bonus.
They are calling for snowbursts tonight (really?) so it truly is the winter that doesn't seem to want to end. But after this weekend's summer-like temps....we see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Happy spring!
