So the weekend was great...

It went by so quickly, but was a lot of fun. The weather cooperated, and we had a great day at the beach on Saturday. It was really nice because both Eden and Sadie had friends there from their respective daycares, which makes things easier on us. Both of my nieces got their first taste (literally, I think) of the sand, and two of the three babies treated their parents to nice, needed naps at the beach (Eden wanted to part of that silliness, but thankfully, she stayed happy and entertained, in spite of being exhausted). It was a good start to the season, and hopefully, a sign of the great summer we're going to have there.

Yesterday, we went for a long bike ride (I am really stiff and sore today!), then met Evan's family for brunch at a new restaurant on the boardwalk in Asbury Park. Afterwards, we all took a nap (heavenly!). It was such a hot day, that it was really nice to spend a couple of hours in the middle of the hottest part, just snoozing in the cool house. it is rare that both girls nap, and at the same time, no less, so it was a nice Father's Day treat for Evan. Afterwards, we went up to my parents' house for a cookout. The kids spent hours in the kiddie pool and were completely worn out by bedtime. So worn out, in fact, that we all overslept this morning. At 8am when they were both still asleep, I asked Evan why they can't ever manage to do that on the weekends, and his response was that it takes us all weekend to wear them out enough.

Anyway, my SIL was kind enough to send some pix she took:
