Week in Review: Summer Stuff and That's What He Said

Happy Friday!  

We took the kids (minus Maggie who was scooping and JP who's back at school) to Scarborough Beach this past weekend, and it was such a nice time.  We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful area!

Andrew and I decided we should open a beach canopy company after seeing so many expensive ones

Best Beach Snack. I also love my swim shorts and rash guard



Andrew stayed for a couple days with a friend's family in Rhode Island, and had a blast going to the beach, golfing and tubing:

Week in Review: Promotion Celebration, Life's a Beach and Happy Campers

Happy Friday!  Please tell me you haven't started school yet...we have a few more weeks over here, thank God!  

Last week, Declan and Brendan went to STEM Camp and came home with a S'mores Kit with instructions on how to make them using the sun.  But it was evening, and raining, and we all wanted s'mores, so stovetop s'mores for the win!



Maggie went to her last scholarship event, where she received a scholarship from a family who lost their son (a three season athlete who had a heart condition they didn't know he had) when he was a senior from the same high school Maggie attends.  I think it happened about a year after Phil started teaching there, and Maggie wasn't even born yet.  His family has done a wonderful job of keeping his memory alive through the years.



This week was my last full week of strength classes at the gym near my house.  They actually moved to a new studio during my 28 day trial and I am going to miss it:
