We invited a couple families out with us early in the summer to spend the day in Andrews Bay. It was a perfect day in the sunshine, enjoying good company and letting the kids play in the water. We also held our renaming ceremony for Everlong, which involved pouring a bunch of champagne in the water, renaming the vessel, reciting some verses for Poseidon, and asking for safe passage in his waters.

The end of this school year was busy and warrants it’s own post. Here’s a cool pic we organized at the elementary.

In addition to being on the PTSA board, I was also the yearbook chair. Getting these distributed was a huge relief!

Layla turned lucky seven this year. We celebrated with a mermaid themed pool party at The Club. At seven, Layla is a sweet, spunky go-getter. She loves gymnastics, basketball, swimming, skiing, piano and animals. Happy birthday, Layla Blythe. We love you!

It was a little overcast, but that didn’t stop the kids from hopping in
