Repsychled

Back in the car, on our way from Emerald Ilse, NC, to Alexandria, Va. The trip should take about six hours.

We had a great time at the beach, loved seeing the kids and how much they've grown! Elizabeth is so mature at seven! She loved playing mom to Katheryn and Samantha! Unfortunately we didn't get to see too much of Samantha (and Patricia and Aunt Rita), since they didn't get in until about 4 p.m. yesterday.

But that was one night where all five siblings were together! Terry had a great surprise in store, with the revival of the "psyched" t-shirts. The psyched t-shirts started back in 1993, right after Terry graduated from college. He had a big weekend-long party at our house in Orefield, with my parents playing host. When each of his friends called to get directions, they all told my dad how "psyched" they were to come.

So my dad had t-shirts made up saying "Psyched in Orefield." When the party happened again the next summer, it was "Psyched 2." The parties and t-shirts continued through "the drive for five."

Now that we seem to be setting our own annual beach trip and party, Terry had t-shirts for us all made up: Repsychled.

!!!

Fantastic. We put them all on last night and got some photos on the beach. As soon as Aunt Rita e-mails me the photos from her camera (another hint, hint to my husband that I need a camera), I'll post it up.

I'll have more posts about the beach to come, when I get photos from everyone. My camera gave you a taste of it, but there's more to come!
