Saturday at Fort Stevens











You know how sometimes a day just goes perfectly? You have it all planned out. The car is loaded the night before. Clothes laid out (preferably color coordinating for picture opportunities) and you have snacks and drinks tucked away for the road. You leave early and spend the day exploring your destination.



I have no idea how that might feel.



We were going to leave first thing and meet Mom and Dad and Jeff and Leanna at Fort Stevens. Instead we got waylaid by a TBall game and a very generous neighbor fixing our lawn mower.



We got to the beach at 3:30. We had planned on going home by 5:30. VeeVee had her first bike ride. She rode in the baby seat behind me. She screamed until she finally passed out. My kids got so wet and muddy that we had to borrow clothes from their cousins. We finally left at 8pm, which was when we needed to be home to put kids in bed.



It was fun, though. I'm glad we didn't call it off when our day didn't go as planned.

We are so glad everyone came. So glad we had that great chili - thank you Becky. Glad we had all of you coming and going. It was such a great week-end.
