Trip to Annapolis

We were able to spend some time in Annapolis at the beginning of the summer and as usual we kept very busy. 

We went on a pirate ship ride (in the pouring rain, mind you… we’re dedicated like that):

Got to finally meet Noelle’s precious little twins (and take a quick trip on the wave runners – thanks to GG who watched 4 kids under the age of 5!):

Walked around the Naval Academy:

Played on the water:

Tended to some light gardening:

Baked with GG:

Went to a play in Baltimore (and got to go to the Donut Shack on the way home!!!):

And at the end of each day felt a little something like this:

Dylan’s 3rd Birthday!

Dylan got to celebrate his birthday twice this year.  Once at home with a brownie cake and again at Pop Pop and GG’s house!  I can’t believe our sweet boy is 3!

I have no idea why I always make this face when Dylan blows out his candles?!

Backyard Olympics

Each year for Shaun Mamros’s birthday party, his parents hold a Backyard Olympics competition.  Each year the parents get a little more competitive ;)  We can’t help ourselves!

Sean’s Preschool Graduation

Sean had his big preschool graduation and got to dress up in a cap and gown.  They sang songs and even threw their caps at the end. About half of the kids in this class will go on to Kindergarten and the other half, like Sean, will to to a “transitional kindergarten” class (usually those kids who are very close to the cutoff date which is 8/31).

Dylan was very proud of his big brother:

Sean and his best friend Michael:

With his teachers, Ms. Meghan and Ms. Kathy:
