After dinner at Cracker Barrel in North Carolina.

Acting like we like each other or something...

Emily naps on the floor

Benny and Emily watching the world go by

Augie apparently thinks Holly's bed is just a giant cat bed.

Our neighbors gave us their old pool -- just in time for a
hot Baltimore summer.

Holly's become a little fishy

Dan's brilliant idea to save the girls' skin from sunburn

Faith and Holly enjoy water spraying on them from the hose

Holly wrote this sign herself to help us get

Attached sign to lawnmower and left in front of the house...
Two hours later, it was gone!

All aboard!

Heading home as the sun goes down.

It was a good day with friends on the water.
