Phillies are Fun

Last Wednesday, some guys came from work to help me set up my new smoker.  
I didn't take a pic of it done.  It has a a smoker and a grill in one unit.  
Work meetings.  
Pickup from cheer.  

Meanwhile, at the shore, Amy and the kids were in Ocean City!


That night, we went to the Phillies game.  Cece came with us.  It took forever to get there.
Sitting in the sun in right field.  
Ariel was in the sun in someone's box.  
The girls came down to take a pic with Mark and I.  
The Phillies dominated the game.  
We left after the Phanatic's dance at the end of the 7th.  
Hey Kevin!
The girls got some ice cream for the ride home.

Cheer Practice

Last Monday, Ariel started cheer.  Does she look nervous?  
No, she was excited!  She actually loved it!  She's back to flying.  
I hit some golf balls.  
I had some salesmen in for meetings.  We went to dinner that night then we stopped by Melissa's after.  




Ariel did some cheers for us.  
Last Tuesday, Aden went to the pool at school!
I picked up a crazy drink for Ariel at Seven Brew.  
Nice Mclaren.  
Another dinner with work people.  

So many dances to learn.

Halloween in August

Last Sunday was kind of rainy.  Eli talked to Steven across the way.  

I took the boys shopping.  First we went to Game Stop.  

Lots of fun stuff. 
Then we went to Spirit Halloween.  Turns out the headquarters is nearby and this is their flagship store.  Eli was so excited.  
He really loves the giant animatronics.  
Five Nights at Freddy's
This thing was scary.  


Spider Man corner.  
I guess I have to start thinking of my costume.  
Amy had a rousing game of mah jong while we were out.  
Even though it was rainy, I took Eli to Ocean City to do a few rides. 

Swings!
It's so pretty.  

Later, we had dinner with my dad at Downbeach Deli.  
Ariel was told she needed to know 15 dances and ton of cheers the next day for her first day of high school cheer practice.  She totally panicked.  She facetimed her friends and Cece came over to help her.  
The videos she was given were tiny and hard to see but she worked hard at it.  

We ate some crazy cookies then Ariel and I headed home.  Amy and the twins stayed at the shore.
