The long weekend lens......
Our long weekend started Friday as the kids were off school.  Friday night we headed over to the watch the sea dogs.  I want to remember how my girl stood up waving at every inning change thinking they might throw a ball to her (Lucas got one).  I want to remember how she danced in her seat.  I want to remember how much I love the fries and Sea Dog Biscuit ice creams. I want to remember how much I love hanging out with this family. 

 Saturday it was freezing.  I heard we got snow in the North part of the state.  Yikes.  B, L and I  skipped the games to stay inside.  Daddy and T traveled to York, twice in one day to play 4 games.  The second two games were "fun" games where T got to try out some different positions.  Here he is picking up that long pole for the first time (ever.)  They had fun and got to go out to dinner with some friends and local Peeps at Where Pigs Fly afterwards.  So. So. fun.

 Sunday we headed out for a family picnic on the beach.  It was warm and beautiful (but windy!!), and the water was a clear blue.  The wind shortened our stay a bit, but it was still a special family time. 

I want to remember how she always runs on her tip toes in the sand

 Campfires and dinners outside are what long spring weekends are made for. 

Monday was all bout giving thanks to our veterans, through my working, the kids joining in in the parade, ceremonies and prayers.  Seems someone has pressed the fast forward button on our spring.!  Birthdays, sports, end of school year stuff, and recitals.  Our lives and hearts are full.  What a weekend to give thanks for all we are blessed with and the freedoms that others have fought for in giving the ultimate sacrifice.  May we all continue to see those blessings and give thanks every day.
