Summer Fun

 I am pleased to say we have been very busy this summer, enjoying life and it's simple pleasures and everything summer has to offer. I am sorry I have been unable to focus on blogging but there is only so much beautiful weather before the long New England cold arrives. Above, you will see a really cool sand sculpture. It was on Onset Beach, Onset MA. I believe it might be left from the movie Steve Carell was filming there. The whole Onset Villiage was transformed into a really fun, tacky beach town with fake storefronts bearing inflatables for swimming. I wish it stayed that way but the movie sets disappeared as quickly as they arrived.

Here is a castle my boys made. The little bridge was created by weaving seaweed. So much integrity. The sea swallowed it up in a mater of minutes. The kids said seeing it destroyed was the best part.

 Here was a movie truck from the film being made. It was so exciting to see the stars in real life. The movie production part seemed long and tedious. I guess acting is hard work. Who knew?

 Here is a cute praying mantis, actually it was quite ferocious not to mention big. Wouldn't want to find that in my car while driving....eeek!.

 Here are a few of my cherubs frolicking at the beach in Marshfield, MA. We really lucked out with beautiful weather by day, crazy thunderstorms by night. The perfect combination of fun and excitement.

 Cute baby foot prints. My baby is almost two and totally loving the beach.

 Below we see one of the boys body surfing. They bought boards but the ended up not being used. The kids said they couldn't go as fast with them. It was a great sea weed free day.

 This was a visit into Boston to see the Tall Ships. They had so many cool and beautiful boats. We got to climb aboard one from Canada. It was so impressive, not to mention clean. It was a beautiful day for an activity like this. It was neat to see people from all over the world gathered here for the this event. Security was extremely tight though,. I guess that was encouraging, eliminating any chances for danger to occur.

 Here is a beautifully colorful picture of friends listening to the sailor tour guide.

                                                              Some sort of bomb holder.

 Here were the flags in the entrance to the port that leads to the cruise ships. I wish I was going somewhere exotic.

                                                                     Patriotic Blythe. Love her!!!

Here were some cute little candles filled with colored rice that the kids made. They were the perfect thing for the picnic table after a long day at the beach.
