Tobey Family: Summer Catch Up I

Sorry to every one for the delay in posting on the Blog. I know to all of you that have expressed your thoughts on my lack there of updates. As you all know that as soon as the good weather comes there is less free inside time to work on the computer.

So let me see if I can back up a bit on what has been happening with the Tobey Family:
End of May:
Memorial Day Weekend Trip with Johnson Family

We drove up to Bar Harbor Maine with the Johnson Family for a fun filled road trip. We played a little bit of 80's music trivia, munched on all sorts of goodies (Robyn's Brownies yumy), and made tons of stops. Some for food and refreshments, and others for the boys to hang it out of the side of the car to let it go. I never knew that young boys had to go to the bathroom so much and how convenient it could be. Just pull to the side of the road and let them go out of the mini van. What a comical sight it was for Alex and I to see. We made it up to Bar Harbor by mid afternoon and got all settled in. It gave us plenty of time for a dip in the pool (which you could see the ocean from very cool) and get all cleaned up for a nice walk thru town and get a bit to eat for dinner. We tried to keep it authentic to Maine so we eat right on the water at a true lobster restaurant. The kids even got to see the fresh live Lobsters in the pools waiting to be cooked.

The next morning we all had a nice breakfast which was included(bonus) then Robyn and I got our feet a bit of well needed TLC. I had the best seat. While we were getting our feet done I had a seat over looking the outside where the kids were with their dads. Dads were in charge of the kids while moms got pampered. I could see them all run to the pool swim, swim, swim, then one by one they all had to go to the bathroom at different times. First it was Grady, then Connor, then Alex, then Alex once again. I understood that because she just can not do both functions at the same time. It is either on or the other. And the issues usually come with in minutes of each other. I truly found my time in the pedi chair very amusing watching the kids running back and forth from the pools to the rooms to use the potty with dads in tow.

This is the Bar Harbor Inn we all stayed at

Next we adventured out to Acadia National Park, for lunch and what a lunch it was. Out side over looking a beautiful lake. The restaurant was known for its pop overs so we all indulged our selves. Over all we had a perfect weekend the weather was amazing but most of all the company was the best. We always love our Tobey/Johnson Family trips. Even though Shawn thinks that Selim does not like road trips, he does it for you Shawn and loves every minute of the trip, truly. It was just amazing how fast time flew and it was time to go home. I can say we all have great memories from the trip to take with us for ever. From hiking up to Thunder Hole, walking thru down town looking for "Got Moose" shirts, to pop guns with Grady in the Gazebo, and who can forget Diver Dave, crazy guy he was. I can say we all had a n amazing time. We are all looking forward to the next trip.
