We started off the summer with a trip to Topsail with The Hetricks and the Marianis. It was such a fun trip, and the cousins all love to hang out together all week long!
Girlfriend steered clear of the ocean, while repeating to herself, "The ocean's not gettin' me. It's not gettin' me/"
On our way home from the beach we planned to stop and visit Jess and Phil and their kiddos, but Juliana had a super high fever so thos eplans were derailed. We hung out in Cary for awhile, met up with Taylor, Rachel, Harpa, and their new baby Gia and then headed north to Richmond.
I had to snap this photo in the hotel in Richmond because it is so real life. Addy and Izzy are up bright and early, sunglasses on and ready to party, while Emma and Daddy are still snoozin'
Erin, An, and the boys came into town from Vegas and we were able to hang out with them, which is always fun!
Tina took the girls to the cabin and gave Mike and I a nice relaxing kid free weekend!
Instead of hitting up Treasure Lake for our annual Hetrick/Gordon/Cannon 4th of July, we went to Pittsburgh this year since the Gordon's new lake house was still being built.
We hit up the Harrisburg 4th of July festival... that ended with Addy running away from us, calling us sh**heads for all of Harrisburg to hear... but that's a story for another time ;)
Hershey Park happy! I threw this pic of the girls eating their Italian Ice in there because I took an almost identical pic this year.
Here I am very pregnant with Reagan... also a story for another time ;)
We made it through the park AND Chocolate World!! Winning today!
Mike ran his first ever Spartan race with this crew while I trudged my pregnant butt all over that mountain trying to get pictures of them all. So proud of him for doing this!!
Our cherished annual trip to Dunes Manor in OC MD, just our little family of 5. I love this tradition that we've started!
Sunrise with these beauties dancing in the waves. Pure perfection :)
No summer with kiddos would be complete without plenty of pool time!
We also went to OC with my mom, sis and bro-in-law, and grandparents! We can always count on Tina for some awesome pictures!
All yes, the shower curtain pool for Izzy
Double date night at the Lobster Shanty
My girls. Emma: lover of jumping in the waves. Addy: lover of swimming in the ocean and riding the waves. Izzy: lover of steering clear of the ocean ;)
And there you have it!! A year late, but our summer of 2017 in a nutshell of photos and videos. Until next time... which hopefully will be soon!
