assateauge 2012

back in july we spent a week at assateauge island

which means camping

there are ups and downs to camping at the beach with little kids

i say that that highs are very high, but the lows are oh so low

the first half of the week was very hot--but after some storms came through

the second half of the week was perfect

not much sleep happened--i don't think i slept past 6am any of the mornings

and was up several times each night with emelia

my mornings often started with an early morning trip into "town"

with whichever of the littles woke up first

luca and i wandered walmart very early one morning

and i think i was known at the dunkin donuts drive through by the end of the week

BUT, luca and emelia did amazingly well despite the lack of naps, later nights, and earlier mornings

the beach is beautiful, and it is so worth it to nearly have the beach to ourselves

i love going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the waves hitting the beach

and the stars on clear nights are astounding

i think i've been going there for 20+ years

time will tell if it becomes a tradition for our little family

but i do believe it's starting to get into mark's veins--once it does, you're hooked ;)

like i said in an earlier post, i forgot my camera

so jonalee took all of these

happy memories. can't wait for next year.

 

and i close with mark going on record saying he wished we could stay another week
