Taking a bite... is a place where we are trying to chronicle our adventures in parenting and our daily life, all while trying to keep our sanity and teach our boys the important things in life.
We joined Pat and Lissa for some blackberry and plum picking at Larriland farm where we have gone Apple picking before. The blackberries were AMAZING! There were so many and sooooo good.
We headed up to Hershey Park for the day, forgetting that our kids aren't quite coaster kids yet. After a few meltdowns about the high scary things, we settled in for the water park and carnival rides for the day!
I think Ryan rode this 12x straight
He can't take his eyes off the track. It's a good thing we have a few more years....
Andrew doesn't like bears...this one put him over the edge.
We did this Urban Pirate Excursion a few years ago and decided to go again with our friends the Kellys. I thought Julian would have the most fun from my three because he loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates, but he was not having it. Andrew and Ryan had fun! Pat and Lissa came along to play too.
They dress you as a pirate, give you a pirate name and you search for the bad pirates who took the loot! Then you spray them with nasty harbor water! It's pretty fun and the shipmates who run the ship make it really cute and funny. Until next time Mateys!
I will try to catch up-summer has been sooo crazy busy. Andrew has now lapped me in the Harry Potter series. Lapped me! It has been so busy that I haven't read much at all. Chris has mentioned that I could stop blogging, but I love to be able to print the books year after year, and its a little outlet for me when I can find the time.
Julian and Ryan's first O's game at Camden Yards, and our first of the year!
Fun at our friend Norah's pool
This handsome little gymnast, who is actually quitting soon. It makes me sad, but he can't be in control during the class, and he says he isn't enjoying it.
Hiking at Gunpowder Falls
Mad skills to Chris crossing the rocks with Julian in that backpack!
This is Chris's child...falling asleep looking at a house brochure
Cute little ball players in the front yard....
until this busted lip happened...
Outer Space Creations at the Science Center. Ryan told one man that Pluto was about as far away as South Carolina
Just a little pool shopping
Julian is a serious beader...until he is finished...and then they are ALL over the floor
That is a book in Andrew's hand as we headed to the park to scooter
4-H Fair fun in the corn box
If you are around us enough, you would know whose plate is in the middle....
Hammock silliness
Chris's friend was in town from Scotland so we go together with some other high school friends.
Everything is a jungle gym
A day with the pool to ourselves for about 30 minutes
You know you are tired when...
Another Orioles game and on our way we saw a double rainbow
Some Sky zone fun
This is too funny not to share. Julian has asked me to go in this hurricane blower every time because Ryan LOVES it. I knew he wouldn't like it, and there is no way to stop it. He may be scarred for life.
