4 hours of gymnastics and 1.5 of swim team every day this summer. Ahhhh the hair! Trying to keep it healthy. Tossed it in some braids this week. Ran out of #shinejam for the last braid 😬 so we improvised. #naturalhair#swimteamready#bighairdontcare#naturalkids
Our #summerlike1989 continues. Once kids are truly bored…watch out. They are creative, take risks and the giggles abound. Being bored is great for kids. Not necessarily the #cozycoupe#jasperways
Last day in #acadia … Eli hiked half of Great Head Trail on his own and was rewarded with #sandbeach playtime! See you again Acadia - you’re pretty great even when we aren’t 🤪
It’s this guys birthday today! We may need a redo. we have tried to fill up the week with our favorite things. Pizza at Rosalie’s, ice cream at MDI ice cream, exploring Cadillac…popovers at Jordan Pond, playing at the beach. But our week has also been full of the stomach bug (which moves pretty rapidly in a 24ft camper) cranky siblings, a threenager. And a sick puppy at home. Here hoping we remember the good moments! No one I would rather do hard and happy times with! Hbd @jeffy613
Foggy beaches are the best! Eli wasn’t at the water more than 5 mins before he face planted in a wave. Sandy bottoms. Jasper has been hoping to find a crab 🦀 and sure enough one popped right out of his castle! #jasperways#ingridways#eliasways#mosesways
Passing by all the traffic at Sand Beach and stopped at our favorite little beach. Jasper has always spent hours building dams in the river. Ingrid jumps off the bridge. Moses tortures us with seaweed all while jeff and I sit ignoring the #freeplay#acadia#mosesways#jasperways#ingridways#eliasways kids are so much happier outside. 🌲
Our kids are truly known and loved at school…and this lays a secure foundation for them to shine bright, take risks, and most importantly to grow in the hard spaces, both in character and in academics. Year after year…the old cars, tight house and career sacrifices are undoubtably are worth it. Ready for summer! #mosesways#jasperways#ingridways
