4th of July
It was a fabulous 4th of July! And other than losing my brand new mother's day diamond necklace, it was a perfect day. These are the last pictures of that necklace which makes me sad. But in any case, we sat up on the top deck, had yummy dinner, watched the sunset, and drove down to Beach Haven for fireworks on the bay.
Sorry, these pictures are all unedited. I just don't have enough time in my day to edit all of these blog pictures or I totally would. As always, if you would like a print of any of my pictures, please let me know and I would be more than happy to fix it and send it to you so you can print it.
We took some pictures first. This is a picture of me in case you forgot what I look like!
Milo picked up this habit of grabbing his shirt with this teeth and pulling on it. Something, we learned, his daddy used to do all the time.
Millie blew off some steam
There was some kite flying time
Sunset time
Fireworks while sitting on the dock of the bay.

Travelling to the beach!
It was wonderful to see the kids again. We really enjoyed the time away but we really REALLY missed them! Millie was pumped to see us. Milo was hesitant at first but after about 10 second, he was open arms. They hadn't changed a bit.
The next morning, we set off for the 1.5 hour drive to LBI. This, as many from NJ know, is a voyage that could take 1.5 hours...or 8. You never know. This pic is a bit of the traffic we were in. Check in day for everyone is Saturday. Check out day is Saturday. Mass traffic going onto the island and long lines going out. It's crazy. Danoline knew best and left at like 6:30am. We didn't leave till 8a and got caught in some traffic. But after stopping at EVERY potty along the way, we made it.
Nancy/Howie and Terry/Jon (mostly Terry & Nancy) carefully take their time and select the worlds perfect beach house every year. Terry & Nancy make a weekend of this and do it all in the bitter cold of NJ winter. They are few requirements but they are a must.
Must have a outdoor shower.
Must have a deck.
Must be beachfront.
This year, the beach house was more perfect that ever. We had both floors of this beautiful house. Millie and Milo shared a room. Danoline and we were all on the bottom. We had our own deck, laundry, bathroom, kitchen, living room.
Jon/Terry, Howie/Nancy, JillMax, all were upstairs with all the same. Roof top deck was amazing for the beautiful sunsets.
It's the same routine every year. Unload everything quickly and get set up. Then go rent bikes. Millie loved the bunk beds (although she slept on the bottom) so that is great news since we have plans for bunk beds in the kids' room.
That night we went to a birthday party of Neil's mother-in-law at their beach house down the road. Those pictures, you can see here. Here is a pic of the sunset from our roof deck. Sorry for all the iPhone pics!

flying
What do parents do while flying kid free?
We get dropped off at the airport and check in with ease.
We use our iPhones to scan at security.
We get to hang in the Skyclub where we drink wine and eat yummy snacks while waiting for our flight.
We get upgrades to first class.
We get free wine before take off.
We get a warm cloth for our face and hands.
We get a pretty tasty dinner.
We get to watch and movie (one that we have yet to finish)
We take silly pictures like these with my new lenses for my iPhone.
