A Day at the Beach

It's taken me a few days to post this but last Wednesday, the boys and I took a day trip to the beach with some friends. We don't get to see them that often so the boys were really psyched. We got there a little after 11am and left the beach about 4:15 pm but it didn't feel like we were there for 5 hours at all. On the way home we stopped at Grotto's and got something to eat. It turned out to be a really nice day.

Wordless Wednesday

I took this pic when we were at the Relay for Life

A HOT Home project

We had been talking about building a fire pit in the back yard, you know just a simple one dug out a little with a circle of rocks around it. Nothing too fancy. Then I came across this picture of a fire pit on Pinterest.

I really liked it and thought ..we could do something like that. How hard could it be?  So I showed it to my husband and he agreed it shouldn't be that hard. It wouldn't be something we would get done in one day but we could do it. And so After a couple days work, here is our version of the picture above.

I just wish I had gotten a picture before we started burning in it.
