Family Vacation: Maine Part 1!

Day 5: Back on the Road!

 Atleast this trip was shorter! We headed up to my parents house in Maine for the rest of our vacation - think..total relaxation. The second we got there Kaleb was in his swimming shorts, in the water and having fun! And, in true Maine fashion, we played UNO...all night.

Day 6: Christmas in July

I don't know if you guys know this, but my Mom is amazing. Saturday morning we woke up to a decorated tree, a Christmas breakfast, and presents. Instead of stockings we got sand buckets full of goodies. Seriously, Mom of the Year (past 26 years actually.)

Saturday was pretty much awesome. Me and Mom went grocery shopping while everyone else hungout on the beach. Me and Mom can do some serious damage when we are grocery shopping (and I'm not talking about the fact that I totally wiped out in the grocery store!) We picked up some delicious lobst-ahs and steam-ahs. Oh, I love New England!

Day 7: Beach!

  This was my view all day Sunday. Danny, Dad, and Steve spent the morning golfing. Kaleb and Michelle built sandcastles...me and Mom just relaxed. It was so nice. Later that day, the jetski broke, it was a sad day!

Day 8: New Friends

  Growing up there were no kids my age around our camp. So I was super excited to find out there would be tons of kids for Kaleb to hangout with! He spent so much time swimming, tubing, and running around with his new friends. He even told a girl he thought she was cute...they were so cute!

Maine is exhausting for everyone! By 7 every night everyone was lounging in the camp, ready to rest and get more energy for the next day!

Day 9: Soda and Wine Tasting

Tuesday we left the beach for a few hours to head to a local winery in Naples. At first it was just going to be me and Danny, but then I found out they also do soda tasting! So, we rounded up Kaleb and a family friend, Chelsey, for some fun.

It's the first winery we have visited with fresh hard cider, which was delicious! I liked it more the wine. The kids loved the soda. We picked up our favorites to have on hand for the rest of vacation! 

Check back tomorrow for the rest of our adventures! 

Christmas in July!

This weekend was so awesome. Friday I hungout with some of my favorite bloggers. Saturday me and Danny did some school shopping for Kaleb and had a picnic on the beach. I didn't think it could get much better, but boy was I surprised!

We had Danny's mom and step-dad over for lunch yesterday. Like my Mom, I made way too much food. We had sweet and sour kielbasa, pesto pasta salad, hamburgers and hot dogs. Danny's mom surprised us with a big bottle of Olive Garden wine, one to have with lunch and one for us to keep! Seriously, best wine ever! We chatted and had a good time. Miley was such a good girl, she gets excited when people first walk in..but then she calms down.

THEN, the best part of the weekend happened. My sister and her boyfriend, Keith, finally got here! I am so so so excited that they are here. One of the first things they said to us was "Mom thinks its Christmas." Then they told us all about gift bags that Mom filled up.

To properly explain how awesome my Mom is, I need to do it with pictures.

Mom made gift bags for their road trip. Lots of goodies and suntan lotions!

They also had a huge cooler full of food, snacks and drinks.

Then, there were HUGE black bags. The tag said "Have a great night at Paul McCartney!"

So, I think this will be my outfit for the concert!

AND! An awesome bag and wristlet. LOVE LOVE LOVE these!

Danny got two new shirts and Miley got some bones. Mom never forgets the puppy! Mom also made reservations at a hotel for after the concert, dinner at a sushi place AND breakfast the following morning. Remember: We are not spoiled...we are very well taken care of.

I got this shirt too....things that crack me up about it: drinking, on a motorcycle, in an apron...made by the company "Tits"...interesting!

I'm not sure who's more excited about Michelle and Keith being here. Miley loooooves Michelle already. They were cuddling on the couch and giving each other kisses. My dog is such a traitor! But look how cute they are!
