Summer Weekend!

What a beautiful weekend! Plenty of sunshine, mid 80's, blue sky's! Once again we were off to the beautiful waters of the Chesapeake Bay. We hit the bike trail early Saturday morning. Then went down the shore (family beach house.) Mom and Dad surprised us by having some steamed crabs for lunch! Yummmmmmmmmy!
Poor little Cody had blisters on his tender paws. He had to wear some booties, and stay out of the water & rough / hot sand. He didn't mind. They made him look even more adorable than usual, so he got lots and lots of attention!
Shawn enjoying the sunshine, and rest. He's been doing puppy duty at night along with working every day so he's been pretty tired.
Mom and Dad enjoying the family time with us.
Cody and Dylan, little cuttle bugs.
Janice and Bob (long-time friends of the family) came down for some playtime. We usually get together for a visit at least once a year, and they generously let everyone play with their jet skis. This year we met a little earlier and went for a lunch cruise to Cantler's Riverside Inn, in Annapolis. We took the long way (circling the island), and stopped for a wave to Uncle Mark (at his house).
Popeye's boat was anchored in the Annapolis harbor! Wonder if his horn goes "toot, toot?!"
We took a little sight-seeing detour to Annapolis Docks, and through the Bay Bridge. It was afternoon by the time we pulled back into the marina and headed down the shore.
When we got there, the ski's were ready and waiting, and so were the kids. (I think Dylan waits all year for this, he's been doing it since he was a baby!) Ashley was allowed to drive without adult supervision for the first time this year. She was loving it! Very good driver too!
The big kid (who also waits all year for this) was dying to go play too.
This is a VERY SCARY picture!!!
Janice and Ashley took a drive over to the marina. (Ooops! We forgot the keys in the boat!) It's just around the corner, but a nice cruise as well.
Yes, I too enjoy the ski's! They are a blast to drive!
Ashley taking a spin all by herself... alone! My babies are growing up!

Mom relaxing after a long day on the water!
Janice and Dad talking and catching up. Thanks Mom, Dad, Janice & Bob for sharing this beautiful day with us! We truly enjoyed every minute!

Ephesians 3:14-19

"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen."
