Herron Island Summer Fun

We had such a good time this last weekend at Herron Island. I know I have said this before but it truly is my heaven. The minute I see the water, I feel as though the world lifts from my shoulders. That coupled with the kids giggling and screaming as we go up and down the hills on Herron Blvd right before the ferry landing makes me smile inside out.

We have such a good routine going. We sleep at my moms and the kids are both sleeping in the same room now. They love it. Skyler goes down first and then Liam and I read books in “mommy and daddy’s bed” and then we sneak in to the bedroom and watch Skyler sleep. Then we crawl into Liam’s bed and he is usually out within minutes. In the morning, I usually find Liam in Skyler’s crib and them both giggling at each other. After breakfast at my mom’s, we take a hot tub. A little more playing and then Skyler goes down for her morning nap. At that point, either my mom or I walk Liam down the beach to Grandpa and Stephie’s house. They have their beach all set up for the kids with a kiddie pool and toys, grandpa’s boat, and of course, daddy’s new boat. We usually hang out there until nap time which is back at Grandma’s house since they nap better there. After nap, we head to whichever house dinner is at and usually hang out there for the evening.
The kids absolutely love it too. Skyler, who can walk on the rocks no problem now, just explores and looks at rocks, eats a little sand here and there, and watches her brother carefully, taking everything in. Liam is 200 miles an hour pushing, pulling, climbing, boating, tubing, swimming, and everything else a kid would want to do. He can be entertained for hours on end just pushing and pulling the tube in and out of the water.
The kids and I went out on Thursday and Leif joined us on Saturday. He was home building an enormous extension to our deck and I absolutely love it. It makes me not want to leave the house and just entertain every night. Weather has been in the 90’s which just adds to the fun.
