Dance Marathon

It's Thursday night!  Another week has gone by.  Again surrounded by snow.  Last Wednesday, Fionna came over and Ariel tried on her cheer outfit.  

Ariel wanted to wish you a belated Valentines Day.  

Last Tuesday, I 3D printed Amy a holder for her sponge!

Eli keeps finding cool stuff to print.  

A cassette tape of Running Up That Hill from Stranger Things.  

Last Friday, the drop off line was nuts.  That's what happens when it rains.  

That night, I went to see Jordan play at the Green Parrot.  

And watch the Olympics.  

That night was also the start of Dance Marathon at Penn State. FOr those of you who don't know, it's an honor to be asked to do this.  The kids stay on their feet for 46 hours.  They raise money for the Penn State Hershey Medical Center.  Lanie's choir sang for the kids.  That's her second from right.  

Our sitter Dani was dancing.  

As was Kylie.  This was only the beginning.  They had 2 days to go!  Have a great weekend!

 

Lacrosse

Last Tuesday, this is how I woke up.  

After work, I went to get Melissa and the girls at the airport.  Honey was so happy to see them.  

And they were happy to see her.

I took Ariel to her first lacrosse practice.  It was at this huge tent place in Trenton New Jersey.  

It was massive.  They were playing lots of sports at the same time.  Volleyball, baseball, soccer and lacrosse.  

A bunch of Ariel's friend were there.  

Ariel was nervous.  

All ready to go!

Dave and Julia and a bunch of other people were there.  

The girls did well.  

Ariel said it was a lot of running.  

It was a late night.  Practice ended at 9:30.  

 

Eli the Demogorgan

Last Monday was President's Day.  I got up early in the cold snow to walk Honey.  

She was looking for grass.  

Melissa's car got covered.  

It's much better inside Honey.  

Eli started dressing like a Demogorgan from Stranger Things.   

Piano time.  

Some of the things Eli printed.  

Noah attacked the Demogorgan.  

He also has Stranger Things posters.  

Cool!

 

American Dream Mall

Last Sunday we had an adventure.  We got a limo and took friends and a bunch of kids up to the American Dream Mall outside New York City.  Eli for ages has been talking about taking a limo ride.  

We got a cool one!

Lucky bunch of kids.  

I'm usual the one driving so it was nice to see the scenery.  

It was like an hour and a half ride.  The kids played with the lights and the tv's.    

Then they played with their phones.  

Ali and Todd were brave enough to join us.  

There is New York!

We made it to the mall!

This place is huge!  One of the biggest malls in the country.  

An ice skating rink!  It was packed when we left.  

First we went to Nickelodeon Universe to check out the rides.  

So cool!

Half the kids stayed to do the rides.  Amy and Ali watched them.

Todd and I took the rest of the kids to the water park.  Such a cool place!

Giant wave pool.  

The kids split up and ran around so Todd and I spent the whole time chasing them around.  

Shrek and Donkey.

I spotted Eli with the blue shorts.  

Then we found them in the hot tub.  

I joined them in the wave pool.  

There were some huge waves!

Ariel did some rides then went shopping.  

It was a long day.  Time to head back.  We played with the lighting.

Ali was glowing!

Victoria was very sophisticated.  

We got back and took Honey for a walk in the snow.  

She wasn't happy that it was snowing.  

What's with all the snow this season?
