Picnic Night

We had a very lazy Saturday. It rained all day, and since Worth was tied to his pager on heart call we just worked on organizing some things around the house and getting everything ready for the caboose's arrival. Sadly, none of us got out of our PJ's all day (this is one of Ellie's favorite things to do!). We decided to make sandwiches and have an indoor picnic and a movie last night. We occasionally do this with the girls and they love it. Ellie loves any excuse to sit in front of a television. The movie last night was Tarzan (the cartoon - not the original). After PB & J's for the girls and club sandwiches for Worth and I, we all had Dairy Queen Blizzards. As you can see from the pictures below - Emma enjoyed hers!

More SSI pictures (stolen from Kate!)

Ms. Pendy was kind enough to burn all the pictures from Kate's (Worth's sister) camera on a CD for us, since my camera bit the dust on our trip. So, here are a few more from our SSI trip! I'll spare y'all from the captions and let the pictures speak for themselves. A great week!

St. Simons Island 2013

We have just gotten back from our annual 4th of July vacation in St. Simons Island, GA. Once again, the island didn't disappoint. Although we did have a couple of shorter days on the beach due to rain, it didn't damper our trip in the least.

We did our traditional dinner at Benny's Red Barn with my (Ashley's) family, then dinner at the Fredrica House with the Bowers crew. Sa and Gramps were even able to come join in on the festivities that night as well. And we had the low country boil at the condos with all the families that stay there for the 4th (and have for the last 20+ years). Needless to say we didn't starve on this trip either:)

We were able to see a lot of the Summers family. It was good to see them because it has been quite a while since we saw them last, and Ellie had been saving a toy for Jake that she held on to since last year at the beach when he left it there. I think the girls and boys had a great time together!

My camera decided to malfunction the morning of July 4th. After 336 pictures that were taken up to that point, I was no longer able to take anymore. Very disappointing! Boo Nikon 3100! Now I have to hurry and find someone to fix my camera before this new baby comes!

Worth's mom and sister will be sending me more pictures from later in the week that I plan to post. Until then check here and here for more pictures of our fun beach week.

Ellie LOVED playing with Jake. Jake could throw the frisbee much better than her though!

Summers Boys and Bowers Girls

This was an overcast day that we just went out to get their energy out thinking it would rain any minute. We ended up staying out there 3 hours and getting sunburned! Ellie is trying to teach Emma how to skip in this picture

Sweet toes

Emma snacking...again

The Summers boys were back and this is what they did - chase each other almost the entire morning we were out there.

Brothers!

,Worth clipped these to his mom's hat and she didn't notice for a very long time. For some reason, we thought it was hysterical!

Baby Bo Chillaxin in his stroller. He was such a good beach baby!

Getting dirty!

The baby pool was a hit, or the baby "spa" as we called it.

Happy July 4th!

It was a beautiful day to celebrate Independence Day!
