Lacrosse Tournament

Two Sundays ago was the last day of Hebrew school and the last time the twins will have to go on Sunday.  It's the end of an era for us.  The parents were invited to participate.  It got a little loud and crazy.  
Then I drove with Ariel to Downingtown about an hour away.  There was a huge sports complex.  It was time for her lacrosse tournament.  
The parents were in for the long haul.  4 games in the hot sun!
The first game did not go well.  They lost like 12-0.  

We had a decent amount of time between games.  There were lots of drinks and snacks.  




The gang!
Game 2 they lost 14-0!

Time to rest again.  

They lost game 3 15-0 and game 4 15-0!  What a day!
And that's it for the season!
It was fun hanging with the parents but I was hot and tired and ready to go home.  Now Ariel wants to try out for high school lacrosse!

Eli helped Ariel play lacrosse.  Have a great weekend!  I should be able to catch up next week.

Cheer Tryouts

These are from 2 weeks ago.  I found Amy's and my Confirmation pictures.  



Eli went with me instead of Noah to acrylic pouring.  
This was an ocean theme.  
Eli put so much paint on there it might never dry.  
A week ago Saturday, Ariel had high school cheer tryouts at 8 am.  I took her and waited.  She wasn't sure how she did and was so nervous.  
She was with her besties.  
They have to take advantage of the sun!

My cousins from Florida were in.  We had breakfast at Ben & Irvs.  
They came to our house to hang.  

My girlie.  
It was so nice to see them but they had to head out.  
Noah's soccer game.  

My dad and Amy's parents came to watch.  
Such a pretty day.

The Golf Champion

Two weeks ago Monday, I played my first round of golf.  It was a charity event for our synagogue.  I've always wanted to go and it was my drive to learn golf, but that hadn't gone very well.  I went anyway!  


All lined up and ready to go!
My foursome.  By buddy Dave and 2 other guys he knew.  They took good care of me and taught me a lot.  
We got some swag.
One hole had a gun!
Boom!
The golf carts were so cool.  They had GPS.  


They said for a beginner, I did pretty well.  We played best ball which means we all shoot and then we all shoot from the spot of the best first shot.  Needless to say, I was not usually the best shot but I'm proud to say that 5 of my balls were the best!
It was exhausting to play 18 holes!  I had a lot fon fun though.  We had some great talks.  
While we were out there, Amy and the girls were playing mahjong.  
Then we all met for lunch.  

I was so happy we got to experience this together!
Hey Ali!
Aden was acknowledged for his scholarship from the synagogue.  
They had some awards.  Our team sadly didn't win.  
That night, Eli had his orchestra concert.  


Pep talk by the principal.  
There's Eli.






Great job kids!

Eli hates having his picture taken.  Lol.
