And then with their cousins they sang a song.  We’re not really sure what the song was.  But it was pretty hilarious to watch them!

We took the kids to see the lastest Ice Age movie.  This picture totally cracks me up.  Harris is his own little man and I love it!

Date Night!

We’ve been pretty lucky this summer to have several date nights because the kids have spent the night at Nana’s house.  One of our favorites was simply walking out on the pier

and then along the beach,

and then seeing this enormous horseshoe crab,

and then pigging out on some giant Dagwoodesque sandwiches at European Street Café.

Love spending time with my sweetie!
