Lobster DAY!!!!
We made it back home safe from CT!! And I do not even know where to begin, I have so many pics... I'll start with a little bit of lobster day first! For those of you that are non-Meehan....Lobster Day has evolved into an annual family reunion to celebrate my Grandfather's birthday. I believe it was my cousin Kathryn that coined the phrase "National Lobster Day". Why do we call it lobster day?? Well, there are always a literal TON of lobsters...Ryan and I each ate 2 1/2 lobsters...body included. I believe we had some other food there, but all I ate was Lobster, clam fritters and stuffed clams...I wanted a devil dog, but those puppy's were GONE in 2 seconds. The closest I got to a devil dog was watching my brother get a 1/2 eaten one. Good thing I have the recipe!
This year 13 of my 14 first cousins were there. Of course, I didn't realize it at the time, I guess someone should have taken a picture or something, it was good to see everyone!
I do have to give a huge shout-out to my Cousin Kathryn, she worked her butt off to help Gram get everything ready for Lobster day. Thanks Kathryn!!
Liam had so much fun, too. He didn't have any lobster quite yet, but he still ate everything else! Luckily there were a bunch of second cousin's there. He had fun playing with his cousin Sean that is a just a few days younger than him!
All the kids had so much fun with the golf cart. At one point, there were like 7 kids under the age of 7, screaming at the top of their lungs...."WE WANT THE KEYS...WE WANT THE KEYS!!". Luckily, one of the older cousins was nice enough to take them around in the golf cart, like a 100 times..at least we got to eat in peace for a few minutes!! 1/2 the time I had no idea where my kids were, it was pretty cool!

Happy 85th Birthday, Grandpa! (Actually it is a little early this year, Gram moved Lobster day up a week for the Canady's!) Nice Lobster rug!
Liam being cute during a passing thunderstorm!
Kids eating!!

More to come over the next few days...I'll get all caught up soon!

Bird Attacks Tyler...at the Zoo
On Sunday we went to the zoo...We all went into the parrot enclosure and if you pay $1, you can let the birds drink juice out of a cup. As soon as we got in, Ryan had a bird come right to him, then Tyler approached the bird and I think the bird got scared because it flew and hit Tyler right in the FACE! Tyler was OK, but he cried of course, he was pretty scared...once we got settled in a bit the birds starting coming right to Tyler.
Liam had so much fun! I think he would have walked the entire zoo if we let him. In the areas that weren't crowded we would let him out of his stroller and he loved to walk up to each area.
At lunch time we were able to catch a bird show and it was pretty cool. They had the audience sit on the lawn and they had eagles and hawks fly right over your head. The really cool thing was they had a bald eagle fly right over head. It was pretty amazing. The bird had a wing span of 8 feet!!

Party at the Park..Saturday
The weekend is supposed to be restful and relaxing...WHAT? Not when you have two kids with unlimited amounts of energy. We spent the day on Saturday at "The Party in the Park". It is at our local Park & Rec district facility. There was a car show...big boucing things, music and a bunch of other things. We went for a few hours. Liam had fun with the balloon and Tyler had fun looking at the cars and jumping!
The big rocket ship was BIG It was about 40 feet high and Tyler and Ryan waited in line for 1/2 hour to go down the slide. Ryan said that as soon as Tyler got to the top he just went right down the slide, he didn't even wait for Ryan. He was pretty happy!!

What a beautiful day on Wisteria Place!!!
We awoke on Thursday morning and what a beautiful day!! The skies were a gorgeous blue. The air was crisp and dry. The birds were singing, just a beautiful day...then I look out my window and see something...
Looks like we have been professionally T.P.'ed!!!
Even our neighbor's house was hit hard, but not as hard as ours!!
Ok, so here's the story. So, across the street from us we have a couple of teenage girls, Lexi and Hailey. They are pretty cool girls and Ryan and our neighbor Marty give them a hard time every once in a while. Plus, about 4-5 times a year their trees get T.P.'ed. A few months ago, Ryan fixed their computer or something and when he came out to go to work that morning, they had written "geek squad" on his car window. The other night it was pretty hot out so we were hanging around outside with our neighbors. We might have been doing a little bit of drinking (just a little). And someone came up with the idea to saran wrap Lexi's car. After we saran wrapped it, we TP'ed it. Right as we were putting the finishing touches on the car, her dad pulls up. Luckily he is a pretty cool guy (he might have been doing some drinking, too) and he tells us that she is camping for the next 5 days....so we wait. She comes home, thinks its funny and tells us to watch out...well I guess she got us, because I think she used 20 rolls of TP, plus the sprinklers came on that night so there was wet TP everywhere!!
Poor Ryan he had to pick it all up!
So now the ball is in Ryan's court and he wants to get her back....GET READY!!!

Just Peachy!!
Sunday was another great day! The weather was a little more to my liking at 87 degrees!! The boys had fun playing outside in the pool.
Liam has a bunch more teeth coming in because the mouth is really bothering him. The only thing that makes him happy is eating a peach, nectarine or watermelon slice. Luckily, it was the first week of peaches at the Baird Farm stand at the farmers market, so I loaded up on the good stuff.
Liam attacked the peach like it was his last meal. There was certain hell to pay if anyone tried to pry that peach out of his hands. Once he ate it all the way down to the pit I had to pry it out of his hand and he threw a huge fit.
I have to give a shout-out to Ryan for this weekend....he is recovering nicely from his back issues and got more stuff done on Saturday than he has gotten done in the last 2 weeks! He helped me clean the garage, he put the camper back in the garage (it has been sitting on the street since March) and he mowed and weed wacked the lawn. I love you, babe!
While we were cleaning out the garage, I took our suitcases down from the attic for our trip to CT!! Only a few more days left. Of course with everything going on right now, I want to leave right now...Tyler is really excited, he can't wait to eat a bunch of lobster (honestly, either can I) I have rounded up a few bottles of wine and read up on the lastest TSA regulations for what you can bring on the plane, so we are all set to go!! I hope CT is ready for these ORE-Y-GON boys!!!
