Castles and Princeses... :)~

Wednesday afternoon I took my 3 nieces ages 5, 9, 11, to the beach. It was a perfect day! I planned it so we would be there at low tide....it's the best time for sandcastle sand!.....We swam around for a while as soon as we got there....Well, truth be told, they swam.....I stood waist high in the water playing lifeguard...LOL...We had some lunch, and then it was castle building time!......After that we went for a walk down the beach, then out on the jedi to wave to the boats coming in and out of the marina.

The girlz wanted to go to the playground across the way...This place is set up like a castle, with lots of winding stairs and towers. So they decided that they were princesses who needed saving, and I was the evil witch.....SO I played along, and decided that I had Ultimate powers that none of them could match....Anna would try and throw some pretend magic at me, and I would counter it with mine...Me always winning of course.....They would try to hide throughout the castle.....and when they weren't paying attention I would sneak up, and scare the crap out of them sending them running, and Kayla shrieking at the top of her lungs......That was fun!!!

When I couldn't take the heat anymore, I gathered them up, and brought them back to my place. We indulged in some italian ice from the store downstairs, and sat on the porch in the backyard to eat it. Everyone trying each others flavor. Too cute!.....It was pretty hot down there so we went back up to the AC. Kayla and Sara helped me make some cheese and crackers, and we watched some cartoons I had tevoed....is tevoed even a word??? Well it is now...HA!...

Soooooo anyways.....Needless to say we had a great day......I love those kids, and really enjoy spending time with them....I totally need to make an effort to take them to do stuff!!!... :)~

Me and my dad in PJ

Thursday, as a belated birthday present, my dad and broha treated me to a day in Port Jeff. It's sort of has become a tradition for us.... We took the ferry over and walked around a bit....didn't stay very long....We had lunch and some ice cream.....Then came home.....It's all about the boat ride for us....Next year we might not even get off in PJ at all, and just ride the boat a few times back and forth.......LOL...
