Last week our family and the C's headed to beautiful Cape May for a visit/vacation with my parents. It was a fabulous trip. Of course my pics are so out of order, so please bare with me.
He is our a part of our little group. The first two days were soooo hot and the water was soooo cold. Not exactly ideal beach weather, but we still a great time.

CJ and Chelsey. 1st best friends.
The twinnies....Madison and Allysen. Love when cousins look alike.
OK, this pic is actually a funny story...at least it was to all of us when it happened. It was about 100 degrees out. The big kids typically walk up the beach an hour or so before the rest of us. I yelled out the door for all of them to wear shoes, because I knew the street and sand was going to be sooo hot. Kylie chose not to listen. She went to the beach with no shoes. When a few of the big kids decided to head back to the house for showers, Kylie complained that she had no shoes and her feet would burn. Too bad I said. NaNa to the rescue, she let Kylie wear her sandals since NaNa also had a pair of water shoes in her bag that she would wear home. Looking good Kylie!
Of course the Chris drove his Jeep to the shore!

Crazy pic....shocker, its out of order.
What a great vacay we had! Always sad when it ends. So not ready for back to school yet. Hears hoping for a llllllllooooooonnnnnngggggggggg August.
Friday afternoon the 7 of us headed to the Phillies game for our annual Hartman Family tailgate. It was sooo hot outside, even under the tents. Thank God Chris brought towels soaked in ice water that we all wore around our necks to keep us cool.
To know me is to know that I will NOT drink wine out of a plastic cup. That's right, I brought a wine glass with me. The 7 of us had a fantastic day together. After a 10-3 win by the Phillies, there were fireworks that were absolutely amazing!

When we got home, it was time for presents. Her favorite gift, A Ruiz jersey!
She also got a new MP3 player.
We took the kids plus CJ's friend Brian out to a hibachi grill for dinner tonight to conclude our celebration of our little boy's 18th birthday. Above is a pic of all the kids before our dinner presentation started.
As you all know, Madison does not like most foods. After the boys ate, they decided to eat all of Madi's food since she wouldn't eat it.
That smile and those huge dimples are what it's all about!
If you have never been a hibachi restaurant.....1. You need to go. 2. They fling food at you. Here is Kylie catching a piece of steak.
Our fried rice.....shaped like a heart. How appropriate for our family!
We told the restaurant it was his birthday so they brought him a yummy dessert.
The flaming onion tower...that scared the **** out of Kamryn.
Adults get flying Saki. Kids get flying water. So much fun!
Avery's turn!
I can officially say that our son had an amazing 18th birthday. He said so himself when we walked out of the restaurant!
