Don has been preparing around the clock for a big presentation at VMworld in vegas. so the kids and I have been hunkering down at home a lot- but in the past few weeks everyone seemed to disappear to the beach.
Well, as luck would have it, my dear friend, Sue, offered for us to join her and her 8 year old son Tucker, on a trip to the beaches in Delaware this week! SO of course, despite the hurricane- we went!
We had an incredible time. Cut short by a day (no thanks to the emergency evacuation that WOULD have had us leave on Friday) and we got home quickly and safely on saturday long before she hit our area.
The kids had pure fun. and I must admit. there was plenty of that for the moms too!
In the pool at the beachouse. Yep, that’s a POOL! (and yes, perhaps those are hurricane clouds 
scootin around the neighborhood
the kid’s first time to an East coast beach and as we arrived, dolphins were jumping out in the bay! (we were in Lewes)
quality time and belly laughs with bennett as madeline and tucker collect shells and have water fights
a long days work for three happily tired kids.
‘I don’t want to leave!’
Back ‘home’ for ice pops- makes everything better
the moms ate gelato (and checked the evacuation details- deciding that we’d have another day at least before irene would arrive. let the fools duke it out on the roads tonight- we have dark n stormies to drink!)
and sunsets in a stormy sky.
What a way to end a summer.
