Cheer Welcome

Last Monday I went for a run early.  I asked AI why a lot of the older neighborhoods don't have sidewalks.  There was actually a decent explanation.  I still think it's dumb though.  

Ariel went to visit the high school with all her friends.  

I tried out the new smoker/grill.  

I actually wasn't thrilled with the first cook.  I need to keep experimenting.  

Ariel had a bunch of friends over.  

I went for a late walk with Amy.  

Someone spotted an alligator outside Aden's dorm!

Last Tuesday morning was the first day for teachers in our district.  The cheerleaders and football players went at 6:30 am to welcome them!

Ariel looking so pretty for her cheer practice that afternoon.  Everyone says she looks like Amy here.  

That night, we finally met our new rabbi.  She was very nice.  She comes the valley outside LA and sounds like a valley girls from an 80's movie!

 

Sea Lice!

Today was the first day of school for Ariel and the twins.  So exciting!  They all did well. Ariel also had her first cheer game. There will be lots of pics later.  Last Sunday, I went to pick up Juniors donuts.  

The girls were happy to eat them.  

Melissa took Eli and Gwen to play golf.  

Then it was beach time.  Eli went right into the ocean.  

Melissa and I went in with the kids.  

Ariel was busy with her friends.  

It was a beautiful day.  

Ariel went in the ocean and there were sea lice!  Baby jellyfish and they sting!

Cute cousins!

Pool time.

Emily came home with us.  We stopped for dinner on the way.  

Crazy sky!

 

Noah Wins Mahjong

Last Saturday, I got up early with our friends.  

We then had breakfast.  

Honey!

Mah jong time!

Noah won!

I think Jason might want to learn.  

Meanwhile, a game of Rummy was going on.  

Honey just wanted belly rubs.  

We had fun hanging out with everyone.  

We walked over to Betty's to get some snacks.  

Pool time. 

That night, I took Eli to Ocean City.  Dori and Jordan came with us.  

We did some shopping.  

Then it was time for rides.  

Buddies!

Eli did one of his favorite rides, Double Shot.  

Too much candy to choose from.  

They were making salt water taffy at 10 pm.
