Last Days in Virginia Beach...

Wednesday the girls were super-excited to show Nana the beach that they had called home for the past couple of weeks. They had a blast playing in sand with her, and I was thrilled not to have to ; ). I finally got to relax. That night we went out for Mexican, and of course the girls insisted that Mike join us.

Ready for dinner...

Hanging out with their two favorite guys...

Thursday was our last full day at the beach (kind of sad--we weren't really ready to leave). But, we packed tons of fun into that day. Jill brought her kiddos over to play, which was awesome to see them one last time. All the kids had a great time. Then daddy and Mike cam out after class. Poor Maren actually cried when we had to go in to get cleaned up. She didn't want to say goodbye to the beach or her friends.

Their last beach pics (from this trip, anyway)...

Wearing matching suits that Logan hated, but received several compliments...

Evan and Logan...

Maren and Madison...

The whole gang...

Aww, Maren loves Mike...

Thursday night daddy and Mike grilled out for dinner. (They'd been talking about it for three weeks--I didn't think it was ever going to happen.) We had fun eating outside, and regardless of what you might hear--I most certainly did NOT eat red meat!

Bad influences...

Maren is truly going to miss this guy...

Grill Masters Barry and Mike...

On Friday the guys got out of class pretty early, so we packed up and headed home. You would think that after three weeks of being away from home, we'd be ready to get back. But, we weren't. We had the best summer...spending time with friends, going to the beach, and having Uncle Mike right across the hall. Back to the real world...
