Spring Trip North

It was April. Life was busy. And as every parent knows, with school year activities coming to an end, life was getting far busier by the minute. What better time for a…

CRAZY MESSY HOUSE PROJECT!

Yep. Because that’s how we Wrights role.

HARDCORE.
TO THE MAX.
And POSSIBLY LACKING IN COMMON SENSE OR IMPULSE CONTROL.

And with poor Daddy Mike (heretofore known as “The Labor”) consumed with said project dreamed up by Mama Julie (otherwise known as “Management”), what better time for a…

ROADTRIP!

That’s right. We were northern bound….with Annapolis and Philadelphia in our sights.

And a LOT of 95 traffic in between. Grrrrrr.

But we’ll put up with (most) anything for the chance to see these Hooligans.

Even Uncle Willy showed up! That’s a very special treat.

Even if he is a Hairy Mongrel.

We even got the chance to be there to celebrate Nena’s birthday. She’s one lucky gal to have so much ENTHUSIASM for turning another year older!

Baffled by the whole one-candle-silliness, the Littles are strategizing how we can fit ALL of her candles on the cake for next year’s fesitivites.

The Fire Brigade may need to be on speed dial.

Before our Little Crew drove up to Philly, we had a few additional days in Annapolis when MEAN MOMMY made the kids do schoolwork. It was…shall we say…rough. There may have been tears. And some hootin’. And hollerin’. But we persevered and ended each school day with a fun field trip.

So maybe, oh sweet children of mine, life ain’t all that bad…

I sent this photo below to my Honey so he wouldn’t forget me. Or his tasklist. HA!

Ahhhh…it’s good to be a kid.

Then we topped off the trip with a quick jaunt to Philadelphia. There we got to participate in a Nature Study with the Garecht cousins, and go to their Art Show.
