The Suits Sisters

In case you think that we had a perfect camping trip, here are the things that aren't pictured: Caris waking up at 4:30 AM, Patch throwing up at 5:30 AM and the high tide waves soaking our beach tent  Who can resist a baby in jean overalls?? Aunt Anna came to visit for a few hours Nap time in the tent  "Soo, we're sleeping like, outside ?" On Tuesday morning we celebrated Kent's 26th birthday! Balloons, streamers, birthday hats, candles and a cheese danish to wish him a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 

We hit the beach!  You can't beat $35/night even if you end up being sandwiched between two campers.  A little thumb sucking on the beach... Life is good

We recently went camping at the beach for the first time. It was hard not to compare beach camping to mountain camping. The biggest differences were.. Space : When camping in the mountains (especially open country camping), you're surrounded by woods. All alone with no one to hear you. That was once a creepy idea ( What if a mountain man comes down and gets me?) but when you're camping with a 6 month old, being all alone with no one to hear you is the best idea ever.  Sadly, the beach campsite was like row house/town house/condo camping. The sites were all on top of each other. Close enough that I could hear the old ladies across the path. "Lula? Lula do you like cilantro?" "I LOVE cilantro!" Now that's some fancy camping.  The other difference was  weather .  When mountain camping, it's usually cold at night. This isn't an option right now for us so I was happy to have the sunny, warm weather. However, when you sweat, trap you...

Ahoy, Matey! Today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day and Krispy Kreme was giving away 1 free donut if you talked like a pirate and a dozen donuts if you dressed like a pirate. So we took full advantage of our Baby Alive and headed to Krispy Kreme. Things we needed... Gold Hoop Earring Bandanna Elastic headband A piece of black cardboard or paper + tape The top of a coat hanger  A baby that just woke up from a nap, one that is still too sleepy to protest.  We left the store with 7 out of the 12 donuts. The Krispy Kreme lady scooped those donuts right off the conveyor  belt and into our hands. When they're "hot now" it's like eating magical, sugary puffs of air. Thus, being able to eat more than usual.  Donut Count:  Kent- 1   Caris- 0 ....{awkward silence}.... HAPPY NATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY or We'll Do Anything For Free Donuts
