Back From Miami

Last Sunday continued. We left the Miami behind and drove towards my parent's place in Deerfield Beach.  It was about an hour's drive.  We got some pics from home while we drove.  The boys played out back.  

Then they headed back to the King of Prussia Mall.  They met the twin's friends at the Netflix House.  They played mini golf.  

They had fun.  

Passing through Miami.  

Aden actually wanted to shop so we went to the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton.  He's a quick shopper.  He walked into a few stores and he picked stuff right out and bought it.  He then wanted some cologne.  

There was a Bronco in the mall.  Where is Ariel?

That was exhausting.  

We met Mike, Erika and Maya for dinner at Lazy Dog in Boca.  Maya is a year younger than Aden.  He definitely found her cute.  

We passed through Mizner Park on the way to the condo.  

Ariel called to say goodnight.

Last Monday, we had to be out the door by 6:45.  We drove to Fort Lauderdale Airport.  There was a pretty short security line.  

We flew out over the port and saw 2 Disney cruise ships.  

From the sea to the everglades.  

It's crazy how civilization just ends at the everglades.  

We got home by early afternoon.  Ariel got to open her gift from LoveShackFancy.  

It was great to be home!

 

Future Canes Day

Last Sunday, we woke up to a beautiful sunrise in Miami.  

I grabbed a donut for breakfast.  

Took a quick walk around Coconut Grove.

Another crazy Bronco for Ariel.  She loves them.  

We drove over to the school around 9.  Welcome back to the University of Miami.  

Not too many schools that look like this.  

Aden had to go through the U!

There were tons of people there for

Aden contemplating Lake Osceola.

He looks big and handsome!

This was his favorite pic.  He usually won't pose but he actually did a little.  

Cheerleaders!  Where is Ariel?

While we were waiting for things to start, we got some pics from Hebrew school where the twins were making presentations.  

It was time to start!  We are Future Canes!

It was packed!

You did it!  They started off by giving the weather in Ann Arbor, Madison and Boston, where it was in the 30's.  It was 80 and sunny in Miami.  Perfect.  Why go anywhere else?

All the future students stood up.  

So this was crazy.  Later, they called out Aden's name and asked him to stand up.  We looked at each other like what could this be.  He also does not like being the center of attention but he stood up.  Turns out, he was the first incoming student to give a deposit!  They gave him a hat!

Nice hat first student!

This woman taught us some Miami cheers.  

Heading out.  

The Student Union.  

Kids hanging.  

We took a tour.  

There were seniors taking senior portraits.  

Such a pretty campus.  

There are the sophomore dorms.  

I would have thought it would have been alligators.  

Turtles!

We went to check out the gym.  

The track was on the third floor.  I got winded just walking up there.  

The new freshman dorm.  

We went to the dining hall at the freshman dorm.  

Lots of yummy choices.  

I got some Cuban food.  

Aden started with an omelet then had some pizza.  

It was a nice place.  

More scenery shots.  

Beach volleyball courts with kids laying out.  

The basketball team was playing at the NCAA tournament while we were there so they had it up on screens.  

More kids laying out by the pool.  

Aden didn't want to leave but eventually it was time.  On the way out, we saw someone's Lamborghini.  Sunday to be continued…
