Five Brown Kids

Scotia, Nana, Jake, Hannah and I squeezed in a quick trip to Lunenburg.  It's a stunning town and Nana grew up in the area (before it was a tourist hotspot).

Playing Washer Toss in the side yard. 

I finally made it home after a three year Covid break.  The girls and I dropped Jaxon off at college, visited briefly with Taye then drove home to finish packing and cleaning and were out the door the next morning at 4 am.   

Since basketball season ended Jaxon wrapped up school and has been working tons of hours as a pizza delivery driver. He contributed to room and board for his freshman year and still had lots left over for new clothes and spending money. Early in the summer I started a pile in his room for college essentials - laundry bin, bedding, desk lamp, extension cord, my college kid nightstand . The last week he started sorting through clothes and filled two baskets with stuff he wanted to take.   

Courtney’s fave!  Sauce: 1 cup mayo 1/4 cup white vinegar 2 1/2 tbsp mustard 2/3 cup sugar 1 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Mix in with noodles, hard boiled eggs, green onions and celery. 

We didn't have a big beach trip planned this year - but little kids must still have the same opportunities as big kids so Courtney drove down for a few days of adventure with her youngest.
