Our last few weekends have given us some GREAT weather and we've taken full advantage of it by getting out and about as much as possible.  This month I took the kids to the Maryland Seafood Festival for the day where they enjoyed playing outside on some of the big inflatables they had there and then we came home to some free crabs that Frank had helped catch that morning with a friend of his.  The following weekend we took the kids to Family Day at the B&O Railroad Museum and then the next day we had Frank's company picnic at Six Flags.  This weekend we'll do another company picnic at King's Dominion.  Next month we'll probably take advantage of some of the fall festivals in the area and the Halloween events that take place at various locations around the state, plus we'll be celebrating a few family birthdays and our anniversary.  Frank is making lots of progress on our basement and plans to have a drywall hanging weekend at the end of September, so if you would like to join us, just let me know!  I'm not sure how much help I can be since I find that I have to down some benadryl if I want to spend any amount of time in the basement, and if I take any kind of a break I just get tired and pass right out asleep.  Yes, I'm such a big help that way!
