Friday - July 1

 Welcome to July - Summer time fun with fireworks, picnics, swimming, boating, family reunions, vacations, and celebrate America's birthday!

Our first day of July was off to a good start with Blair and Grandma having breakfast at Coffee Express 

Coffee Express breakfast with "Lamby"

and then a haircut for Grandma at BeYOUtiful with Jacinda.     Luke and Grandpa had breakfast at A la Cate and then haircut for Grandpa at Country Gentleman's Salon with Gina.   

Grandma getting a new "do"!

 We all walked back to Catrina and loaded up the laundry in car and off to do that task.    While I miss my she shed washer/dryer, the Catawba Clean Scene Laundromat on Clean Street is just the most awesome place.   The staff is constantly cleaning and wiping down the machines, floors, etc.    Always immaculate!!!   It's a very large laundromat, too, and the kiddos were enamored watching all the machines do their thing - not sure they had ever been to a laundromat before???     It's the little things......

 Grandpa and Blair went to the store to get a few things and then got the car washed and vacuumed.

Back home with our clean stuff..... had lunch and while I cleaned up and tidied Catrina a bit, Grandpa took Luke and Blair to The Port Clinton Candy Store - a favorite they remember from last year.  

We did a pump out and short ride on Catrina out on the lake and then back to start our packing and beat the nasty weather which started at 5 and then really intensified around 6:15.    We were hunkered down in Catrina with 4 suitcases open and ready to be filled as the rain came pounding down!

Before the storm hit...

2 kids turned loose in a candy store...

 

So many choices!

Decisions, decisions
Catrina ride
Last day on Catrina

Cleaned out Catrina's fridge for supper !    Rain finally ended around 7:30.   Tomorrow we are on our way to Beckley, WV and then to Lake James on Sunday.   Mark and I will be back in Port Clinton on July 10th.

Wishing you all a very safe, fun and HAPPY 4th of JULY weekend!!!

These kids were REALLY wound up tonight doing all these funny me-emojis - hilarious!!!
