PBC 2015 Day 2

-

The day of the thunderstorm.  When we woke up we noticed that the weather looked pretty bad.  Dad and I went out for a run around 6:00.  By the time we got back it was pouring.  The rain let up around 9:00 so we all went down to the beach.  We stayed about 2 hours before we had to go back to the room.  The sky looked awesome – it was pretty menacing.  We saw a huge bolt of lightning over the ocean and headed straight for the room.  We made it back just in the nick of time. 


Our first day at the pool.  We brought this inflatable dog for the boys to play on.  Michael may have had more fun on it than the boys did. 






Sam swimming - I never get tired of seeing Sam swim. 





Check out that sky . . . 







We spent most of the day in the room.  Michael and I went to workout during the boys’ naps. By the time we got back, it was time to start getting ready for our pictures.  The weather had cleared so we went back down to the beach to take pictures.  

















After pictures, we all came back to the room.  Lauren and Ryan fixed awesome guacamole chicken burgers and we watched the US women’s soccer game. Between Zac, Em and Ryan we had quite a few soccer fans in the house.  The energy was pretty high – fun night.   

During dinner Finn came running in crying claiming that Cooper had hit him in the face with a blanket.  Knowing that blankets don’t really cause that much damage, I asked, “Finn, did he really just hurt your feelings.”  Finn responded. “NO, he hurt my face.”  I’m not sure why, but it was so funny.

Ghouls at Grassmere

Yesterday we took the boys to Ghouls at Grassmere.  Day started out pretty traumatic for Sam.  He wanted to go out and play.  He started to notice that there were several little worms on the porch.  He was terrified that the worms were going to get him so he sat in the porch swing with me for almost an hour.  Finn spent his time finding worms and then stepping on them.  Michael doesn't like for Finn to kill worms because they aren't hurting anything.  I reminded Finn of this fact and told him not to kill any more worms.  After a few minutes I start to hear more crunching.  I decide to take a different approach.  I told Finn, "Finn - the momma worm is going to be so sad because you killed the baby."  He looks at me and said, "don't worry mom - I'm gonna kill the momma too."  So much for the guilt trip. After a nap, it was time to start getting ready for the Zoo.  We started with the tights.  I bought Finn little girl...

The Fourth of July

Well the Begley clan had a pretty big Fourth of July celebration. Finn and I started the day by making a quick run to Wal-Mart to pick up some oatmeal. Then we got ready for our day with with Emily, Zac, Coop, Hank, Nana and Papa. We all met over at Em's house for a little playing, a little swimming and a lot of eating. When we first got there we all sat upstairs and watched the boys play in Cooper's playroom. Finn was absolutely amazed at all the toys. Then we decided to go to the pool. After getting the boy lathered up, we all loaded in the back of Zac's truck like the Clampetts and headed to the pool. With respect to those who would rather not be seen in a bathing suit on the blog, I have omitted the swimming pictures. We didn't get to swim too terribly long because it started looking like it was going to storm so we were only out for an hour. Once we got back home we had dinner. Greg made the best ribs I have ever put in my mouth. To end the evening Finn an...

High Ankle Sprain

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.
