Fireworks and Swimming Dates


Photobucket

Watching fireworks from the beach made me happy this week.
Be sure to go Leigh vs Laundry to see more photos that are bound to make you happy.

Project 52: Date Nights logo
We had a ridiculously simple but wonderful date this week. We grabbed the baby monitor and we went swimming in the backyard when the kids were sleeping. Swimming with the kids is fun. It is great to see Caitlin show off her best dog paddle and having Davey cling to you like a koala bear is fun too. But it was great to just be able to swim, float, and talk like adults too. We even had some adult beverages. It was wonderfully relaxing and we will definitely do this again this summer.

Note to self: Really need to get citronella candles. We had to come inside after about an hour.

This is date 19 out of 52 for us. Go to Simply Modern Mom to join in on the fun.

There is nothing better than fireworks from the beach. Unless maybe you are on a boat.

Great shot, great date! The bugs here are terrible too. We'd have to buy every candle in the store!

That date sounds wonderfully relaxing. Being in the water when it's hot out.. divine!

Great fireworks shot.

I'm going to pinch your date night idea - but not sure sitting with our feet in a bucket of water on the patio has the same atmosphere? Fancy house swapping for the next date night please?
