fun in the sun…ice cream at Rita’s and a possible future felt bow tutorial

By Tricia on June 22, 2011 in Kids, Outings

More touristy outings for us. Today we ended up at Rita’s. If you have never been to a Rita’s ice cream shop then I hope you will have the opportunity to go someday. They sell italian ice and somehow they make them all taste rich and creamy…and I don’t want to know how they do it or what is in it : ) yep they are that good.

so excited for some mango ice

too many brothers and sisters trying to get my ice cream

alone with my icy treat

summer sweets, an upcycled t-shirt bubble dress and a simple handmade hairbow

anybody want a tutorial on the felt hairbow? If I get any requests I will teach you how to make it in 5 minutes. So simple you can make one for every outfit. (Hint, now I will sit back and anxiously await your request while you click on the leave a comment button and tell me that you can’t go on unless I show you how to make it).

fun in the sun…

so if you have been wondering why I have been so spotty with my posts, I’ll tell you. I have had 3 different sets of house guests in 2 weeks. If you missed it, that was 3 sets of friends who have fallen in our laps in less than 2 weeks time. The good part about visitors is that it gives you a chance to be a tourist in your own town.

We have been to the market, driving around town, visiting historic areas of our little hometown and today to the beach. We really have no excuse to not go more often since the ocean is only about 15 minutes from our house. We promise to return with much more regularity. My kids have been in the pool and now the beach so much in the last two weeks that they barely resemble my children. I know when I go to the store with all of them people probably think I must be the nanny or something. I keep thinking they can’t possibly get any darker but somehow they do.

we love this side of the island, the water is so shallow. You have to walk out quite a ways to get up to your waist. The kids found so many hermit crabs, sea snails and blue crabs everywhere. They caught them and released them before it was time to go home.
