Honestly, I kind of forgot about this.
I kind of forget about a lot of things of course… But this is such an easy one! Post a few pictures, complain about whining in the car, embarrass future adult age children with online stories about nose picking… Yet – I did forget.
For the exact same reason that people don’t write in the beautiful journals they purchase: there never seems to be time when they’re thinking about it, and they’re never thinking about it when there’s time.
Blogging for me isn’t online journaling. I don’t chronicle every day and I don’t record even 25% of the important things in my life. Partly because I can’t imagine that each and every one would be interesting to someone reading my blog and partly because I don’t have a computer keyboard permanently attached to my fingertips (remember – I forget stuff). That would be cool though, right? I mean a detachable one of course. Someone invent that please.
But back to my point. I probably had a ton of ideas for funny, touching and insightful posts regarding the two family vacations we took this summer – but they’ve left my short term memory for the moment. I hope they’ll check in from time to time, but for now it seems that we lost touch indefinitely.
So thank god for cameras!
Here are some highlights:
Rehoboth Beach, DE – July 2009
Road Trip to Long Boat Key, FL – August 2009
(using the camera option on our video camera – kind of grainy, but sometimes it looks like that was what I was going for…)
I was going to include some video clips too, but I hear Oliver’s school bus coming around the corner… Maybe another time! That is – if I remember…

Oh I just LOVE all those beach pictures!! Have you ever tried using picnik.com to spruce them up a bit? Not that you NEED to, but that site is free and it makes normal pictures I take look amazing. And no, they're not paying me to say that. :) It looks like you guys had so much fun…and now I'm wishing I had taken my kids to the beach more this summer…or at all. ;)
Your pictures of the beach totally make me want to go, grainy or not! Everyone looks like they had so much fun; sorry about your broken camera :(
Your Kids are so adorable. I am totally jealous that you live so close to the beach (sorta!) It looks like you had a great summer!
So cute Kate – I love all these pictures and hope you are able to load some videos later! Looks like fun was had by all!
Well, the pictures are beautiful. I love the beach!
It looks like a fun time at the beach! I love the photo with the three of them looking out on the water – so cute!
About that computer keyboard… I was watching some sort of demonstration (can't remember where) of a newer technology that would allow for you to wear light gloves and type (wireless) just by moving your fingers. I can't remember who had come up with it (of course), but it was very intriguing.
What great captures you did get while your camera was working! You have stunningly beautiful children!
Your kids are adorable. I love vacation…. I miss vacation.
Your kids are absolutely gorgeous! And oh I do love the pictures but I wish I hadn't seen them now because all I can think about is how I want to live near the ocean. Looks like you had a very good vacation.
Love the beach pics! Gorgeous shots – and gorgeous kiddos!
Kids and the beach. Sort of like peas and carrots, aren't they? I love the photos. Grainy or not they show real (and really cute!) kids having real fun.
Great pictures and great memories. Sorry about the camera.
George broke the camera!?! Oh no! I am assuming that by the look of things you were able to get a replacement.
I had to laugh as I read your post. I have the same short-term memory problems. Lord help us as we get older!
This happens to me all the time. I think of something to blog about and then later — it's gone!
Your awesome pictures more than make up for it, though!
What a wonderful group of vacation pictures. Everyone looks so relaxed and happy!
Oh, the beach pictures are so priceless!! I just want to hang out with the kids! Plus I want a pink bathing suit like that!!
I love the beach! I would love to live fairly close to that beach and be able to visit it whenever I want…
Bummer about the camera.
Those pictures are lovely. They really capture the spirit of summer, and your beautiful children.
