Splash Pad Time

Last Friday, I took the twins to the NAC pool at night. 
Eli was upset that the slides were closed.  
Nice night.  
Noah took the swim test and got his band.  
Never too old for the splash pad.  

Eli is mesmerized by the big bucket.
Fun times.
Have a great weekend!

Steven's Party

Last Thursday, we got a pic from camp.  Eli was making something.  
Right after camp, I took the twins to South Philly for Steven's birthday party.  It should be about 45 minutes but it took an hour and a half in rush hour traffic.  It was a bowling party.  
This place was built around 1960 and I don't think it's changed very much since then.
I guess the tv's were added but other than that, it was all original.  

First we had our pizza.  
Then it was time to bowl.  
The boys made some friends.  
Steven and Aiden from the shore.  

All the kids were silly and had fun.  




Cake time!

I think every kid from South Philly was invited.  
Cake and cupcakes all around.  

Happy Birthday Steven!  We had a great time!
We wandered around the city a little.  
They were parking perpendicular to the curb.  Never saw that before.  
We got back to a wild mahjong game!

First Golf Lesson

Last Monday, there were some crazy clouds.  
We played Rummy before bed.  
Then our young Jedi practiced with the light sabre.  

Bev stopped by for a late night concert.  
Then the t-storms came!
Last Tuesday, I had a tennis lesson!
It was sooo hot but I had fun.  
The pro gave me a lot of great advice.  Now I just need to find the time to practice!
Last Wednesday, we ate outside with a rumbling sky.  
We saw lightning all around us.  Eli thought he was Thor.  
Some camp pics!

Visiting Day

Last Sunday was Aden's 17th birthday and visiting day at Camp Saginaw!  We had not seen Ariel in 3 weeks.  We loaded the car up with all the stuff we bought Ariel and the three boys and headed out early.  It was about an hour and half to get there and we had to be there by 11.
Everyone was gathered in the parking lot ready to go!
It's 11, here we go!

There is Ariel!



We went to see the bunk.  It was packed with people.  It was nice to see our camp friends.  
Ariel's bed.  She actually won awards for cleanliness!
Sibling bonding on Aden's big birthday.
There are Eva and Gwen!
Awwww.

Nice family shot!  
We ran into lots of people like Dave and Juliet.  
Cousin cuddles!

Our official visiting day shot.  
We went to a hibachi place for lunch.  Lots of Ariel's friends were there.  
Then we went to the supermarket.  Like all the stuff we got her wasn't enough.  
Back to camp.  

She hit the jackpot!
Here's a better view of the bunk.  

We wandered around camp a bit.  
Melissa and Royce!
We went to the pool.  
The pool was nice and warm so jumped right in.  


Aden looks like a man here!

The twins wanted to see the zipline over the lake.  
Mini golf!


It was a nice day.  The rain waited until we left.  
Aden saw his buddy Zach.  

We got a nice bink shot then headed out around 4.  
We had dinner in King of Prussia.  Aden and Amy went to see Superman and I took the twins home.
