Slip 'n Slide

Last Friday, we got an Eli camp bunk pic.  
After camp we got another concert.  
We went to Vicky's house to check out her slip and slide.  



They had so much fun.  

A night without thunderstorms!
They played way into the night.  
Ariel's besties.  
One more sweet pic for the week.  Have a great weekend!

Music Returns

Last Wednesday, we got a concert before camp.  
After camp, the twins started summer music school.  Eli playing violin and Noah is in chorus.  They are both at the middle school.  
Aden cooked dinner that night.  
Look at this forecast!  Are we in Florida?  
Eli made a working model of Double Shot!
We got pics from camp.  Ariel and friends went to Hershey Park.  Ariel's second time in 3 weeks!


We noticed Ariel had the biggest bag!
Last Thursday, we went to dinner with dear friends.  
Then we got one more pic from camp!

Storms!

Last Monday, we got some camp pics of Eli.  
Fun!
Still doing piano lessons and tutoring at the same time in the same room.  Not the best idea.
Hanging in the secret room.
Last Tuesday, we got some more Eli camp pics.  
He loves flying those drones.  

I picked up Noah from his camp at the Bucks County Community College.  He does something different each week.  The first week was rocketry and robots.  This week was making electronic dance music! 
Ben came to give Eli a violin lesson.  
Then the skies just opened up.  There was a crazy storm.  Ben had to run home.  

Tornadoes around!
Doing some Mario Bros art.  

The storm passed and the skies cleared!
Rainbows!

A pic from Ariel's camp.  
And her list for visiting day.

Finally Riding Gale Force

Last Saturday, Elma next door took the boys to play mini golf.  
I chilled with Honey.  
It was a lazy day eating Johnson's Popcorn.
We eventually made it to the pool.  

Artie came to visit!
Such a good boy!
I made a Mark Rober science kit with Noah.  It was a machine that made codes so you could send secret messages.  
It works well.  Noah had a great time making messages.  
Steven came to swim with the boys.  

Their new brother!
Then it was movie time.  
Later that afternoon, Eli was determined to ride Gale Force, the big roller coaster in Ocean.  Mark and Noah said they would do it so we drove over.  It was so insanely crowded but we luckily found a parking spot right by the rides.  
The boys walked very confidently.  
They waited in line a while.  
They had so much fun!

We actually bought the pictures.  They were so proud of themselves!
That night, I met Lori and Bill at the tequila bar.  We had fun catching up and drinking.  
Last Sunday, we got some cute pics from camp.  There's Gwen!


The camp went to a minor league game in Maryland.  



They were hanging with the boys!
We packed up and headed home.  We got ice cream on the way.  
We got home around 4 after being away for a week and Eli still was determined to go to the NAC pool and go on the slides.  I took him for an hour before dinner.  


All the kids have to take a swim test now.  Eli did great.  
She said he had a great stroke for a 10 year old!
