Summertime Adventures

What better time to post summertime photos than November? I was looking through photos on our camera card this morning and discovered some fun images from our adventures in Maryland. How can it seem like so long ago?

Our summer visit to Maryland started with a visit to Chef Paolino's in Columbia to celebrate Mimi and Pop-Pop's birthdays. I love this photo of the kids. 

Emily and Pop-Pop with the ever-popular Maryland bow tie. 

Now that's a sharp looking couple.

Emil and Ryan get ready for the pirate adventure in Annapolis.

The pirate ship had a strong crew that day.

Lindsay and Pop-Pop. Two peas in a pod.

Speaking of peas in a pod, here are Graham and Madelyn.

Somehow Graham convinced the crew to let him wear a pirate flag as a cape. There's truth to the adage, "You never know unless you ask" 

The pirate adventure wasn't just for kids. 

Sydney and Mimi. Must've been around nap time.

Everyone looks pretty happy given it was hot and this photo was taken at the end of the adventure. Aubrey still bursts out in spontaneous chants of "Heave, Ho" to this day.
