Weekending It

Better late than never, eh?

This weekend finally felt like summer. Truly, they said on the news that this past weekend was the first weekend since APRIL that we had sunny weather on both Saturday and Sunday. Man, we've been waiting forever and it couldn't have come at a better time because...Auntie Jessy came for a visit!!!!

I'm really loving how frequently we get family visitors now with Kip around. I mean, everyone usually came for a visit at least once a year but now it seems like we've got grandparents or my sister every other month. What a treat!

With Jess in town we decided to hop on the ferry and spend the day at Governor's Island. It was a PERFECT summer day. Hot but not humid and breezy for the perfect relief. Kip was a little restless on the ferry ride after awhile (they changed the route and it was much longer than last year) but otherwise a great ride.

Once we got off the ferry we strolled around and then fed Kip before renting a surry bike and peddling around the island.

Kip in a helmet! Ha!!

Then we found some chairs in the shade and ate lunch from the food trucks.

We happened to visit the same weekend there was a Jazz Age Lawn party on the island so there were a TON of people dressed in 1920s style dress which was kind of fun to see. We strolled around some more, got an afternoon treat, watched a 1920s style dance performance, and then hopped back on the ferry home.

That night Jess and Mandy watched Kippy so I could take Dan out to dinner for a Father's Day date. It was a really nice evening. We got dinner at our favorite taco place and then went for a long walk. We've really missed our freedom to go out on evening walks so this was a perfect way to add to the date. We grabbed some ice cream before coming home and watching something with Mandy and Jess before bed.

On Sunday, Dan went to church early to do set-up and us girls took Kip out for brunch.

Sunday was a scorcher so we stayed inside most of the day. Mandy headed home early afternoon and once Dan got back from church, Jess, Dan, and I went for a walk to get bubble tea. We had a quick dinner before Jess left for her flight and we did chores the rest of the night.

Check my post from Friday for a Father's Day tribute.

It was a really sweet weekend and a great visit with Auntie Jess. And we'll see her again soon!
