Rawr and I dropped our girls off at Girl Scout Camp this weekend.
I didn't cry.
I swear.
Okay. Maybe I got tears in my eyes, but at least I didn't bawl like the first day of Kindergarten where my daughter was too embarrassed to lay claim as my kid and the teacher tried to hug me. Whatever, lady. I could handle it. It's not like I was going to go home and bury myself in her stuffed animals and smell her clothing just to catch a scent of my baby girl.
Rawr and I totally lucked out because her husband offered to not only handle his own three remaining kids at home, but he offered to take my 11 and my 5 as well. Overnight. So we could stay at the beach and enjoy a mini vacation. That man is insane.
Of course we jumped at the chance and the four of us had a great time. I've never had the chance to spend a weekend away with a good friend so it was a pretty excellent experience all around.
The girls found a huge piece of Sea Kelp and dragged it around the beach like a pet.
Rawr made us run these. ALL EIGHTY FIVE STEPS. I hate her, I'm never speaking to her again and as soon as my thighs recover, I'm going to walk over to her house and kick her.
My 9 and Rawr's 10. Right before the shark attack that turned out to be a shadow.
It was all very fun and Rawr's husband has informed the both of us that he will never take on that responsibility again. But I do appreciate his self-inflicted Weekend of Hell.

Some photographic evidence:
Beach hair does not make me look my best. Even though I know this LOOKS ridiculous, please know that I was merely trying to blow the hair out of my face.
I wonder if anyone will pick up on the fact that I didn't black out my 9's face.
These dudes were golfing into the surf, which I found incredibly amusing. And I think they found my amusement amusing as well.
EW. Rawr touched Sea Snails
Rollin' in the Hood.
This is why I adore the ocean
