Tropical Storm Idalia meets Myrtle Beach

 Before the winds and the seas pick up!

Before the storm

We are on vacation in Myrtle Beach, and wouldn't you know it, we expect a tropical storm to come washing in later today. (It's a risk you take when you come to the Carolinas in August.) The boys and I had a chance to walk the beach earlier today before the storm hits.

A Night on Myrtle Beach

A night on Myrtle Beach with our friends. (Aracelly, Belinda, and Christos...a friend and classmate of Hugo's)

At the Beach

We're four days in to our annual trip to Myrtle Beach. (We really do come for the beach.)

Annual Upstate Camping Trip

So me and the boys kind of have this tradition going.  We head up to this campsite in the Catskills for a weekend.  This was the first year we opted for a cabin over tents (a better call when rain was in the forcast...but the rain has held off, thankfully). Our cabin is creekside, and Dash has learned to skip rocks 🙂👍....oh and s'mores, too.

Hugo's 8th Grade Prom and Stepping Up Ceremony

We're so incredibly proud of this young man! 

Lookin' so sharp in that cyan suit!

He won some academic awards! Note the surprise! 😄

Hugo's two incredible principals from District 75 (Special Needs) have been with Hugo since Kindergarten!  Also so very proud of Hugo.

Diner Portraits

Every now and then, when we go to a diner, we get a moment to photograph the boys. They have become more particular about how they look, so these are posted with full agreement. Dash and Hugo, age 12 and 14, respectively. 🤩
