Summer Bucket List: OK!

Last weekend we went on our annual trip to the beach house that my Aunt Nelda and Uncle Dennis rent each summer. I absolutely love this time with my aunt, uncle, cousins and their families. We didn't grow up in the same city as any other family, so I love the opportunity to make precious memories with them.

Now that we have 2 kids of our own in the mix, we don't get the same level of relaxation, but we definitely enjoy watching the kids have a blast.

The letter O on our bucket list was Ocean. Aria seemed so fearless running into the water which was equal parts scary and exciting! I'm glad to see some of her fears melt away the older she gets. I'm not sure that Quentin was as wild about the beach but he still had s lot of fun on the trip.

The ferry ride over to Bolivar

Both kids absolutely loved playing with their cousin Zachary! He was so sweet to them!

Q enjoyed sitting on the porch admiring the view

Ken taught Aria how to play Cribbage.  She tried to teach me but I'm pretty sure something was lost in transition.

Little cuties!

Always have to get ice cream from the ice cream truck.  Now that I have kids, I can totally blame my obsession on them and no one will know the difference. :)

We also completed the letter K on our list - Kites. Jason worked hard to put Aria's kite together and she flew it for about as long as it took for me to take these pictures. So of course it was well worth the cost.

I sure love my family!!
