Wow, we have had a busy last 30 days or so. Reviewing photos from my iPhone, we did alot of fun stuff.

A week at the LBI Beach House in Holgate (beach, crabbing twice, lighthouse, bikes, shopping). 2 crabbing trips to Berkeley Island. Ate a mess of blue crabs for the first time. Papa's birthday party and swimming in the pool. First day of school. Overnight camping with R. at Lebanon including night geocaching in the rain and climbing the fire tower.

I make note of this cuz I have been feeling like I have not been doing much fun stuff with the kids this summer. I always see them watching TV or using the computer and feel bad for not taking them adventuring more. "Like I used to."

Given my full and part time jobs, plus just the family overhead of 4 kids, I know that I do not have the time or energy that I used to have, But still, the parental guilt is there.

So this list in the first paragraph makes me feel a little better .

-Peace
