I shared in the last post about our wonderful trip to the Jersey shore this summer! Of course, us moms got planning about future meet-ups while we were all together. At first, we were thinking about doing a girls' weekend somewhere. But I knew that my boys have been asking about their "old house" and Cranford, so I decided that it was time for the Rogers' family to take a trip back to their old stomping grounds!
Now that the boys are in preschool, our trips are planned around their schedule. We decided to head up in late September (before it gets too cold, but a few weeks into the school year). Chris took a half day on Friday and then we were on the road...
We arrived around dinner time and met Courtney and kids in our downtown where he had a nice dinner out at a new burger place in town! Then, we headed over to Shannon's house where the kids ran around like crazy while all the parents enjoyed catching up. I managed to get Abby down not too late and Shannon and I snuck out (while the husbands were left with the other kids) so we could meet Courtney for a girls' night out! How I miss these girls too much!
We woke up the next morning, after a major lack of sleep, to the energy and wildness of our three kids (plus two more)! We finally got our act together and headed over to Courtney's house for a play date with several of our friends that we miss so much. After a full morning of playing, we headed back to Shannon's to get Andrew down for a short (but much needed nap) while Aiden, Abby, and I headed out to a birthday party of one of Aiden's friends that consisted of paddle boats!
He had a blast and I enjoyed catching up with some more friends and then we had a wonderful BBQ with our dear friends. Seven kids, four and under, means never a dull moment. Courtney and Tom managed to get a babysitter so once all the kids went to bed, we had a great night just chilling at Shannon's house with all the adults!
We woke up on Sunday (again not enough sleep!) to a wonderful breakfast made by our amazing friends. And then headed back to Courtney where we played, played, and played before finally parting ways and heading back south to Washington DC.
Another fun weekend in Jersey was had and we miss our sweet friends so much! No plans yet to see them, but I'm sure we won't let it go too long before we see them again:) (And of course I was so busy enjoying life/surviving the chaos that I failed to take hardly any pictures!)
