Tonight’s posts are light on text but heavy on pictures. I’m tired and don’t have much to say at the moment. I also just noticed I lost my side bar. I don’t know what happened, but I’m hoping maybe if I ignore the problem for a few days it will return on it’s own. Maybe it went to the beach today too. <\/em> <\/p>\n

We went back to the Atlantic today, this time with Julie and kids. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time! The kids played nicely together and even made friends with other kids on the beach, the mommies got to chat and life was good. <\/p>\n

We stopped for candy on the way home. Seriously. I was falling asleep at the wheel so I stopped at a gas station for a bathroom break and we all picked out candy. I let them each get their own and they were overwhelmed with the idea and the options. Lex just mindlessly manhandled every thing on the shelf until I realized that he had no idea what any of the candy options were. He eventually decided on plain chocolate (Hershey’s milk chocolate bar, something he’s had before), Eve went for a brightly colored Skittles packet, and I went for my old standby, Reese’s peanut butter cups. Yum! There was no sleeping on the road after that! <\/p>\n

When we got home Eve fell apart. No surprise there. A long day at the beach, no rest, and candy for dinner will do that to a four year old. I showered her and put her to bed in tears. Lex had a nice dinner and stories with Alan. Overall a nice end to the day (for most of us). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
