Getaway Fun!

 It's the end of the week at camp and we still have three more days to go. I wouldn't call it a vacation, I still cook and clean and have made a few trips home to get things done, but we find ways to have fun when we can.

This is our campsite, nice space with partial views of the salt water cove and the ocean.

One of the many visitors to the campground, a hungry Woodchuck.

We cannot take Bean to the main beach during the day, so we enjoyed some time at the dog beach. Today it was too crowded to go in. We also enjoy spending off hours at the main beach and watching the sunsets. A view of the Point Judith Lighthouse from the beach.

Yesterday we enjoyed the day with the boys. We took them to the pond for a swim, and Alex loved going out in the kayak with me. Then we headed back to camp, where they had fun playing and then a trip to the main beach after dinner. They loved exploring and finding treasures along the beach. 

Lots of birds along the beach, it is hard to get quality photos at dusk. I spotted two types of Sandpipers and Black Bellied Plovers.

Today was another day back at the house to do some laundry, pick up food and water the plants. After dinner we got to the beach, right before a storm rolled in. We went to leave, as everyone was scurrying away and found a nice skimmer board that someone left behind. The boys will love that find. This is the calm before the storm.

I hope everyone had a nice week. I plan on resting more this weekend and hopefully get some swimming in, but I know the beaches will be swamped during the day. The kids will be done on Sunday, so we may have to take Bean home for the day so we can all go to the beach together. Enjoy your weekend and I hope this finds everyone doing well.

Weekly Ramblings!

 

Not a lot going on this week, mostly resting, catching up at home and a bit of stitching. I did finish the large piece, now I need to decide on a border and it will be done for their anniversary next month.  I also started some small sachet pieces with the new monthly design, so those should be done by next friday.

Even with a few mishaps, we got to enjoy some time at camp and fun time with the boys. They love the beach and Alex loves being slammed by the waves, he is fearless. Nick took some time to brave the ocean but he finally went in with me and I taught him how to body surf. We are going back next weekend, and we will bring the boards so they should have fun on those.

We had a nice day, the boys got some goodies at the flea market and time at the playground. I admit, my greatest joy is seeing them happy and laughing. 

With my bad arm and shoulder, it is hard for me to hold the camera for long, so I used my phone or shot with the regular lens. I finally caught one of the many Woodchucks that hide in the bush, along the camps.

We got lots of nice walks on the beach and caught this guy with dinner.

And I am not the only one who has mishaps. Ivy fell while cleaning the stairs and got banged up. They dropped the boys off while they went to the hospital to have her checked and stitched up. She is ok and the boys had fun, even though my pool isn't up yet. 

I hope everyone had a good week and even when things don't go as planned, we can always find ways to have fun and find joy in our lives.
