Several weeks ago I was really feeling the discontent feeling you get when you LOVE the four walls your surrounded by but you need to escape...reality, fall projects, work, crazy that hits your life... I don't know whatever could make me feel like that...(
click here) So I mentioned to Toddy-Hot about coming up and we settled on a weekend that would work for all... ahhhh....a quiet, coastal community where no one knows your name :)
He was generous enough to let us crash in his upstairs apartment before his new tenant moves in... today. :) Pretty much camping... indoors. :)
the girls took about 15 seconds to settle in and ON Toddy-Hot. I asked Minnie before we left to think about what toys she would like me to pack in her bag... she thought about it for a minute and said... "I'm just going to play with Tod." :) And she did.
Saturday morning we woke up to take a ride and get the ONLY thing on our list that we HAD to get... bread for CountryDad at his
fav place up there... :) We bought all she had and he was pretty happy when we got home :) Love the sign UNDER her sign :) Even 3 hours north we are STILL Red Sox nation!
A trip into town wouldn't be complete for Minnie without a stop at her favorite park up there... and oh... the BASKET swing!
I could NOT.STOP.LAUGHING. It felt SO good. Sea air, a favorite cousin, and swinging or rather getting stuck on whatever contraption this is... good for my soul.
Who DOESN'T love guys that will take a trip down the slide? :)
Happy Baby! See the ocean behind her? Love.
I know I'm her Momma but I think she's STINKIN' ADORABLE!
Mayor and Mini-Mayor makin' friends everywhere they go
after quick (ack) naps we piled back into Toddy-Hot's truck to "steal" some root veggies from his garden. (Rednecks anyone?) :)
Parsnips and little red potatoes here we come!
Not psyched to be awake (woke up screaming after less than an hour nap) and still sort of numbing it since Daddy just piled on the layers and plopped her in the grass to watch
Bucket 'o YUM!
There...that's better :)
The highlight of the weekend? Getting to read my Martha magazine next to a cozy fire smelling beach roses in a Mason jar that must have missed the memo that it is the end of October and they are supposed to have gone by.
On Sunday AM we woke up, packed up and then took a family walk down to the water... Minnie, Miss B and T checkin' out the neighbor's cat
Miss B is a big fan of not only the cat but snugglin' in the pack :)
ah... 7 minute walk and this is the view...
Scrubby, 3 out of 4 of us are unclean, all in sweats or some sort of camo gear and HAPPY.
A great get-a-way thanks to cousins who live at the beach and are willing to host the Mouse House Clan and all that entails :)
We stopped in Fport on the way home and we bumped into Pam... you know...
PAM! What a special surprise and to have her meet my girls... I mean... REALLY meet them now that they are bigger and the one she "caught" can hold a conversation. What a perfect end to a great weekend as I head into thinking about how my "little" GIRL is going to be FOUR... Phew. Amazing and emotional.
