Cinco de Mayo

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Mimi and Papa at 

The Prosperity Social Club. Don't Kiera and Mimi look

cute in their matching Despisito shirts?

Happy Birthday, Val!

Feliz Cumpleaños Valerie! The birthday girl chose Mexican for her birthday dinner and we did it up right! Dinner on the Si Senor's patio, a quick trip to Crocker Park, followed by cupcakes at the Kette Casa.  We enjoy having you around, Val...you fit right in! 

Birthday shots!

No shot for me, I was the DD

We couldn't pass up the great photo op using the
Corona cut outs!

Next up was a quick trip to Crocker Park to hit the 

last day of the sale at Aveda

Finally, we headed home for dessert...

So jazzed to break out the new cupcake stands!

The birthday girl

I love this picture and the silliness behind it...all three of them

are trying to use only the air from their noses to blow out the candle!

We ended the night with a rousing game of flashcards!

PIB

Emily did a PIB post on her blog, so rather than reinvent the wheel (she's a better writer than me anyways!) I used her words...What a perfect weekend to visit PIB…the weather was beautiful, the cottage was free, and my birthday was on Friday. The beach was overtaken by algae, but we didn’t let that stop our fun! This was Paul and Hazel’s first visit to the island…they both loved it! Friday night we celebrated my birthday at Hooligans Irish Pub with fish and chips, Black and Tans, and a chocolate Guinness cheesecake. Later that night, Ty and Em showed Paul how to party, island style! On Saturday, Papa and Kiera visited Perry’s Monument and snapped some great pics on the clear day while Mom,  Em and I lounged in the sun (and Em got POOPED ON by a stupid bird). That afternoon, we headed to the Boardwalk for the famous lobster bisque and some delicious lobster roll sandwiches. After lunch Kiera enjoyed the playground at DeRivera Park, and we made our way to the Candy Bar for ice cream cones and to load up on the best salt water taffy (vanilla only, please!). That evening back at the cottage we watched/sang along to the Music Man, made sriracha crackers, played Mancala (for the first time in 10+ years!), did card tricks, and enjoyed the cool island breeze.

                          A great picture of Mimi and Ty before he headed back to the mainland on Saturday.
                                We’re glad you were able to come to PIB for at least a little while, Ty!

Our favorite restaurant on the island, The Boardwalk!

"We pledge allegiance to America...and to lobster bisque!"

I enjoyed a yummy summertime cocktail that matched her outfit!

Off to DeRivera Park...

Kiera is a monkey bar pro! Check out her skipping rings...

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Photo bomb!

Another fabulous weekend at PIB with the best family ever!
