Broken Vespa

Last Saturday continued.  Margot came to sit.  She took the boys to play mini golf then to get ice cream at the Dairy Bar.  

Amy and I went with Ariel, Amy's parents and my dad to Steve and Cookies.  Jealous?  

The meal was fabulous as always.  Blueberry pie!

What a handsome group!

Every last crumb.  

It was pretty out walking home.  

When we got back, the boys were still up.  Kind of defeats the purpose of having a sitter!

Last Sunday kind of sucked.  It was warm and beautiful.  I took Ariel for a ride on the Vespa scooter.  About a mile from home it turned off and wouldn't turn back on.  There was a service station about a mile away.  I decided to push it there.  All 300 pounds of it!  

It took me almost 2 hours.  I could only push it a few feet at a time then I needed to rest.  I passed Avera's about halfway there.  I stopped and got a donut and talked to cousin Jared while I recovered a bit.  I finally made it and locked it to big piece of metal at the shop.  This is now over a week later and I still don't know what was wrong with it.  They haven't gotten to it yet.  

I went to may dad's to collapse.  It helped that I got kisses from Artie.  

I missed out on the whole beautiful day.  

 

Welcome to the Point

Last Saturday, we woke up in Margate.  It was super quiet on the island.  No line at Hot Bagels.

I saw Chris the owner cleaning the Dairy Bar.  He's always cleaning.  

They are building 2 houses behind our house.  Sadly we are losing our view.  

I went to get the beach tags for the season.  There was a line.  

I went with Ariel to Amy's parents to see the dogs.  

I see the family resemblance.  

The dogs were funny together.  

Sweet!

It was bike time.  

We took Ariel to buy a new bike.  

She picked a blue one with big handles and a basket!

First ride!

Huggy was enjoying his time at the beach.  

There's the new bike!

Amy took the twins for a ride.  

I went for a ride with Ariel and Amy's dad.  

We rode to the Point in Longport.  

They redid the point.  

It looks nice.

Our girlie.

Welcome to the Point.  Saturday to be continued...

 

The Prom!

Last Monday, we got up early and headed to the airport.  There wasn't any traffic so it took about 1/2 hour.  We also had to gas up the rental car.  Wow that was expensive.  We got to the airport about an hour before boarding and were hungry, but the food choices were not great.  

We saaw some mountains.  

Nuclear power plant!  It was quicker getting home.  About 4:45.  It still felt long though.  We left the hotel around 7 am and we got home around 8 pm.  Long day!  

Last Monday, Eli got a new old friend.  A few year ago he had a Huggy Wuggy doll which somehow disappeared.  Huggy comes from a horror video game.  They stopped making the doll for a while and Eli had the new one on orde for about 4 months.  He asked about it daily.  Finally it was released.  

They have a special bond these two.  lol.

It was Amy's birthday!  The families came over for cake.  

We had lots of fun desserts.  

Can't believe our big boy is headed to college soon.  

Nothing Bundt Cake!

The kids had fun.  

Somehow the twins ended up on Vicky's trampoline.  

This is how we found Eli last Wednesday morning.  

This is kind of cute but all kinds of creepy.  

Baby deer!  Better watch out for Baby Shark!

It was also our 19th wedding anniversary.  Amy celebrated by meeting her college friends in New York so see & Juliet on Broadway.  

Amy was back late so I ran around with the kids.  

Fionna came to hang with Ariel.  

Last Thursday, the kids rode to school.  

A lot of kids ride their bikes.  

Last Friday was Aden's senior prom!  He posed with the neighbor boys Ben and Jason.  They have all known each other since they were babies!

So handsome wearing my suit.  

Nancy and Ben.  

John and Suzy with the boys.  Aden had fun at the prom then went to the mountains with his friends.  

We packed up the car and headed to the shore.  Finally.  We took a slight detour so Ariel could try 7 Brew.  

We made it!  Everything was still in the garage.  I didn't habve time to set up before the season.  

So much to unpack!  I am now officially caught up with the blog.  Back to my standard week delay.  Have a great weekend!
