Dad's Birthday

Last Saturday was my dad's birthday.  I took Eli to find cake.  We talked to Steve next door first.  
There are dogs hanging out of every window of this car.  
While we were driving, we saw the Goodyear Blimp!

So cool!
We went to the beach.  There was a rainbow!

My dad and his friend joined us.  His friend's daughter and granddaughter came too.  Liza made Eli go out into the ocean.  Eli usually does not like the ocean but peer pressure worked this time.  
She even got him on the boogie board.  
He ended up going so far out that Amy got nervous and she had the lifeguards wave him in.  

Hard to tell but there were double rainbows!
Look at that stud.  
Amy got some beach coffee.  
Then it was pool time.  
Ariel pics!

The kids swam and I made dinner.  Kept it simple.  Burgers and dogs.  
Yum!

Back in the pool.  
Then it was birthday cake time!





Honey met Benji next door.  

Amy got together a late night, mean game of mah jong.

Aden's Haircut

Last Friday we got Ariel's smile!
The girls somehow got to go shopping!
I took Eli to camp.  
Aden went into Philly to get a haircut then headed to the shore.  He said there was a cool place to go in center city and he wanted a new look for college.  


Ariel's bunk got a special treat.  
We drove to the shore through the Pine Barrens.  The regular way was busy.  
We made it and Honey came to visit.  


Aden wanted some pics taken of his new haircut.  
We went to find the sunset.  




Amy and Mel joined us.  
Ice cream at Betty's

Aden did ice cream right.  
I went to Jenn's house in Ocean City.  They were having quite a party.  
I had to laugh at Alison's phone.  170,000 unopened emails and almost 200 unopened texts.  I got home after 1!
Some camp pics to end the day.  
Have a great weekend!
