Four The Girls Awaits Our Arrival!

It has been four years since we were in Seaside and Four The Girls is awaiting our arrival. This has been such a roller coaster with the oil spill and the weather that I could hardly get excited, but I have finally allowed myself too start preparing for the trip. Lots to take for B & C. We will miss Patrick being with us at our special place but we will send him lots of pics. Can't wait to see B & C playing in the sand and at the Wednesday night concert. Hopefully C will be able to stay awake for some of the fun. Our little missy is early to bed and early to rise! Gpa Hunt is patiently waiting to teach B how to get wet and then role in the sand.

B's First Summer Trip to St. Louis

On June 25th Grpa I drove to Indianapolis to watch C & B while mom enjoyed time with friends and PJ to celebrate her birthday. Then we drove B to St. Louis for a week long visit. OF course he was perfect in the car. Watching movies, snacking and napping. We were home in a flash. We dropped B off at MeMaws where she and Aunt Nae Nae were eagerly awaiting his visit. He enjoyed several days of fun with MeMaw visiting Grants Farm, the zoo and the Magic House. On Wednesday he came to stay with Grma and Grpa Hunt. When we picked him up from MeMaws he was riding a friends "big wheel" which he calls his motorcycle. He wasn't very happy to leave it so Grpa decided we needed to drive directly to Walmart so B could have one of his own. Every time we passed through the garage he would say "that's my motorcycle". He enjoyed many hours of flying down the hill. It was so cute, one time he yelled out "watch out Grma, watch out" as he flew by. When B would wake up in the morning I would say "who's awake" and he would say I am, and I would say Gpas in the kitchen and with that he would run down the hall to the top of the stairs and YELL, "I'm comin Grpa, I'm comin" soooo darn cute. Those are the precious priceless times missed when you aren't there when they wake up. We enjoyed many summer activities.......








Swimming




Baseball Game














Riding the Carousel


Gotta have new summer jammies




Playing T ball





The big game required spectators to cheer them on

...and as B-man was sliding into home to score the winning run of the t-ball world series he took a dive into the concrete face first.......resulting in a major scrape and a chipped tooth. This required quick decision making by the team nurse(Grma)

Lots of snuggling on the sofa - check
No bath - check
Find the neosporin - check
Grpa saying "your tough, your fine" - check check check
Not one but two popsicles - check
Much discussion whether to call mom or not Votes: Grpa/No Grma/Yes .....Didn't have to decide because mom happened to call. Can't beat a mothers intuition - check



So the next morning we met mom and Campbell at the Webster 4th of July parade.



Together again! Where's Camba?

Yes, I am spoiled!

SEASIDE THE DILEMMA

So as everyone probably knows we have been planning our big 2 week (yes I said 2 week) trip to Seaside. It has been 4 years since we have been there and we have long awaited our grandchildren playing on the beach and enjoying all that Seaside has to offer. Of course there has to be an oil spill. Yes I am being selfish because I know that a lot of people are out of work and the oil is affecting the marinelife and the beaches BUT I WANTED TO GO TO THE BEACH! So one minute I am optimistic and we are for sure going and the next I am frustrated. Today is a mixed bag. The stupid cap is off of the oil leak ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! We can go to the moon but we can't cap off an oil well.

Does anyone care that:
I have matching blue striped beach chairs for B&C
A blue and white striped table cloth for seafood night
I have two outfits for C to wear during our family photos on the beach
The kids divided into teams to make dinner
I want to spend time with C so I can get to know her better
Gpa Hunt has been planning for three years to roll in the sand with B
The girls are coming the second week
I moved mountains to find a house to rent and back up to the Wells summer vacation

Sorry for the pitty party.....just disappointed and not feeling very optimistic!

Looking forward to visiting Lil C and B

Can't wait to go to Indy to watch Lil C and B while Kyle celebrates her birthday. Then driving B back to St. Louis to spend time with Gma & Gpa. Lots of fun things planned. Baseball game, swimming and just hanging out. Can't wait.

We Love You Huntsie

Rogers brother Peter passed away. He will be missed. David said it best "Mom used to call us home for dinner: Mary, David, Roger, Peter, Tommy, Mickey, Anne. This time she called us home but changed up the order.
