I slathered myself in SPF 50 & still got a little burned. Luck of the Irish, my ass.

We have these amazing friends that have a boat & these amazing parents that babysit so we can get away for the day.

You know, to relax, to celebrate our upcoming anniversary, & to hug the neck of a friend who is changing the world three embryos at a time.  & to get silly in the water, float on rafts, get a wee bit sunburned, watch the World Cup from a restaurant that you park your boat at, & still remain indecisive if I can rock the movie-star sunglasses.

I’m thinking not.  But they’re still kinda fun.  & with gorgeous weather, homemade salsa, & good friends, it really didn’t matter.

oh, & this guy by my side.  I just love the snot out of him.

We’re a little sunburned & a lot tired.  & we missed our baby.  & apparently he’s standing & WALKING in his walker now.  Not just scooting.  This new development occurred while we were away, so remind me to never leave his side again or else I’ll come home one day & find him married to one of Jenny’s triplets & be a grandma, okay?

  15. Carla Jo says:

    So Beth Anne, where in the world did you get the penguins that you gave Jenn??? My husband is a penguin freak and I would love to add those to the big box of toys we already have for DD.

    I love the sunglasses by the way.

    • heirtoblair says:

      Carla Jo, the penguins are from Carter's! I found them at the outlet & I've seen them at two different outlets, so I bet you'll have some luck. Maybe try where Carter's are sold, too – like Babies R Us?

  16. Joanna says:

    how fun! looks like a wonderful day on the boat!

  17. Ciara says:

    Great pic of you and Nate! And I love the glasses!

  18. Heidi says:

    Oh goodness I'm so worried now. My hubby and I are going on a week long cruise later this month and my son will be 7 months old. I'm freaking out…what if he crawls or says his first word while we're gone??? I'm so torn about this trip!

  19. Karen Bannan says:

    Water intensifies the sun's rays. Sucks, but true, which is why I am covered head to toe when we go out on the boat. Looks like you had a great time, though. And how amazing is it that your parents will keep your little one overnight?!? Mine won't. But then again I have a "spirited" child. (Also called Crazy baby.)

  20. melissa says:

    sunglasses. yes

  21. Law Momma says:

    sounds fun!!! and love the glasses!!!

  22. Angela says:

    Looks like fun & the sunglasses are cute! I somehow managed to forget my shins at the beach this weekend. White feet, white thighs, pink shins. Now that's a tough look to rock.
