Every year, we complain that it's cold or rainy, but this year, we finally got some SUN... and crazy strong winds. Tim and Scott built an amazing driftwood shelter (I wish I had a picture), so we could take the kids on (brief) visits to the sand, but mostly we spent mornings doing this:
I love having friends that we can just hang in our PJs with!The sun allowed us to really enjoy exploring around town, including finding a great local playground a mere three blocks from the house we've been staying at all these years. The girls got a nice outdoor lunch and Scott and Tim took the boys on a banana bike trip down the beach (they LOVED it!), and we enjoyed wonderful conversation and simple time together.
We did drive up the coast a bit one afternoon to enjoy some glorious sand time at Hug Point. It's those brief moments that keep us coming back year after year. Ahh...
Here's one of my favorites of Owen trying to figure out how to skip rocks like Scott does. Probably a few more years of practice, but I have no doubt he'll get there - maybe in time to teach baby #2 the Maxwell secrets.
We'll be back next year - with six adults and FIVE kids under 3...

So cute! Great pix! I didn't know you guys did this. Having friends to share life with --- in P.J.'s-- is the best. Glad you had some sun and good convo! Your wee boy is just so darling.
BTW, those food stats you have posted are startling!!! Argh. I need to become a vegetarian in this country (or buy from a local farm), don't I!?!? Boo, but some of this is ridiculous!!
What a fun tradition! There's notihng like good, comfortable friendships. Owen is so darn cute! I am glad you had a great time.
Looks like ya'll had a wonderful time - it is so nice to get away and spend time with friends! I am so glad that ya'll continue this tradition, even as all of your families grow. Owen is adorable! He is looking so grown up now and he looks like he is "all boy"!! Hope you are feeling well!!
What "coast" did you go too?? How far away is it from your house?? We go to the Florida beaches here, and it's only 4 1/2 hours away, so we go as often as possible. We were there in April, May, and we're going 4th of July. Owen is precious!! I can't wait to find out if he is having a baby brother or a baby sister!!! Miss and love you, Aunt Tracey
Looks like fun! And I LOVE the picture of Owen skipping rocks. That is too adorable!!
