Backtracking--June Birthdays/Celebrations


For about a week, from the end of May to the beginning of June our family has much to celebrate!!! This year the kids were done with school May 27. In an attempt to spread out the parties, Todd and I celebrated our May 31 anniversary by going out to eat at a cute little gardenish restaurant while other MAF friends the Munsells had the kids on Todd's birthday, June 5. Although we love to be together as a family, it was fun to have a date night. :)
The following Saturday we took a trip to the beach to celebrate school's finish and Kyle's & Todd's birthdays (June 4th & 5th). Our neighbors Zach and Hans went with us, and we got to try out our new-to-us car on some real roads. :)
Hans has become quite a little fish in our pool, but it was fun to watch him experience salt water for the first time. YUCK!!!! The kids all swam fairly near the shore and played in the sand most of the morning...finding cool animals, burying each other, jumping off of a floating platform, swimming with masks....
After lunch, everyone except Todd took a ride in a small boat to some of the nearby beaches. The guy rowing us sang and talked to us in about five different languages!! Then Todd took Zach and Kyle off to a shallow reef to snorkel while Hans, Megan and I continued playing on the beach. The big guys came back with tales of cool fish and plants.
We headed back to Port around 4 and got home in less than 2 hrs.....even before nightfall. What a fun, relaxing day we all enjoyed! It was nice that the boys let all of us in on their birthday celebration. :)
