First Camping Trip of the Summer!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July!! We got back Monday from our first camping trip of the summer-down by the beach-great week, great weather-wish we were still there!!!

Lots of relaxing........

spending time at the beach.....playing, swimming, looking for shells and sea glass........

a few tantrums because we were so tired from all the fun and staying up so late..........

but they didn't last too long and then we were happy again.......

a visit to Newport, Rhode Island to visit one of the mansions and walk the cliff walk........here's the back of the mansion.....

and here's the front........absolutely beautiful......very hard to believe people really lived there at one time.......I definitely know I'd never want to have to clean it!!

great tree for climbing right in our camp site......

celebrated a few birthdays......I forgot candles so we celebrated the first birthday with paper umbrellas........

and the second with the top of the 9 candle that was still in the camper from last year........

Fun, fun week!! We're still trying to get back into the swing of things and get caught up on the laundry that is threatening to take over our whole house! Hard to try to get things done though-it's so hot this week! I think the saying about being able to fry an egg on the pavement could really be true this week!!!

Have a great one!!!
