More family visits

We were able to spend time with more family today (and cooled off in the "pool" out back).  We spent time with Brett's grandma Vo and also cousin Sean, Brittney and their new daughter Meya!

Party Time

We had a lot of fun gatherings while we were in MA to see friends from college, but unfortunately we were too busy having fun and forgot to take pictures :(

Grandma and Grandpa had a party with all of the extended family so that we could see everyone while we were visiting.  They even rented a bouncy house and Auntie Val brought her inflatable water slide!  Good times all around and so great to see everyone.  And thankfully, cameras were out and we have pictures to remember it by.

Visit with the Hess' & Grandpa's Garden

On our way back to Grandma and Grandpa's house from the beach we were able to meet up with my cousin, auntie and uncle at the mall for some lunch!  They happen to be in town from Virginia and it was perfect timing!

After lunch we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  The boys both fell asleep in the car

and then Mason continued his nap in the house, but Ethan refused...so he helped Grandpa water the garden instead!

1st Visit to the Ocean

Beach time with the Cousins!!  It was an amazing experience to be at the beach for the first time.  The boys were mesmerized by the waves and loved jumping them.  The sand in the diapers I could have done without, but otherwise it was an absolutely perfect time.  We all had such a great time being together and playing in the sand.

Playing Dress Up

Some photos from the last day of our visit to Maryland and we got to spend a little extra time with our family from across the ocean.  It was a day of wardrobe changes!

First, mini marines just like Uncle Nicu.  But I do not think they found the uniforms to be very comfortable.  They were mini uniforms made out of the real actual uniforms complete with itchy wool and super stuff collar.  But they looked super cute.

 And next, some traditional Romanian outfits!
