Sherwood Forest 1

This summer the kids and I traveled up to Maryland to visit family and friends for 3 whole weeks!  It was a blast and great to see everyone.  And so special for me to be back in Sherwood in the house I grew up in and watching Landon and Elle do the things I did when I was little there!

We were able to visit with Great Grandad!  Enjoying a nice lunch on the porch of the Sherwood Forest clubhouse.
 Gramsey came over too!
 Relaxing on the back porch at the cottage.
Laughing at Poppy's facial expressions.
Wrestling with Uncle Ryan.
 Tickle war!
Having too much fun!
 Street art.
First time taking a shower by himself!  Definitely a photo he will be mad at me about later for posting.  :) :) :)
 Aunt Stephanie came by for a visit!
 Mmm delicious crabs...oh how I've missed MD steamed crabs.
Kathryn playing with Elle.
 Emma just graduated HS!  Can't believe how grown up she is!
 Photos by the Severn River.
 Little golf cart ride with my little ducklings.
 Nice dinner out at the Severn Inn with Stephanie!
 Being silly haha.
 Elle loved playing with Madeline the whole trip!  She called her 'My Madeline'.  Bob twinsies!  :)
Aunt Lonnie and Elle snuggling together at our favorite place...Ledos Pizza!
 Kissy kissy.  :)
 Later that day, we visited the Sherwood Camp nature lab.  Nothing has changed since I was in camp.
 Same moose heads are still hanging...
 I painted that turtle back in 1998!
 Playing in the sand at Robin Hood beach...reliving the glory days for me.

 Same water fountain I used to drink from when I was a little girl.  :)
 Couldn't believe how expensive a dozen crabs were, but oh were they delicious!
 Elle was excited to be eating at Cantlers too.
 Poppy and the kiddos laughing together.
 The Flatt's were in town and we had to show them what a real crab shack is like to eat at.  :)
 Down at the Main Pier they have their horseshoe crab tank.  These are all found in the Severn River...ewwww.
 Daddy came up to MD for the weekend!  The kids were SO happy to be with Daddy.
 Mom and I took full advantage of eating at the store porch for breakfast together.  Like old times, except I can't just say '152' anymore and charge my food haha.  Ryan and I took too much advantage of that when we were little.  :)
 Felt right at home with my Sherwood girls!  Erin, Laura and Meg came up to the store for lunch to meet Landon and Elle!  Years have passed, but we picked it right up where we left off!
Meg loved that Elle is into lipstick.  Elle was showing Laura how she can put it on other people, but Meg was encouraging Elle to spread it all over Laura's cheeks...not much has changed.  :)  Meggy the mischievous one.
 Love my Sherwood girls!
 Later that weekend, we went to one of Paul's USNA classmates wedding.  5th company reunion!
 Paul and Steve back together again.  College roomies.
 Ready to hit the town and dance at the wedding!
 5th Company all dressed up!
 5 and a half months pregnant with Gavin!
 7 years later at the USNA Chapel where we were married!
 The kiddos were at Grandad and Gramsey's house while we were at the wedding and this is the fun pic we got.  :)  Loving bath time!
 Steve, Kristin, Paul and I having a great time at the wedding!
