Searching for Gold

Last Sunday, was a nice day so we headed to the beach.  

It was pretty busy.  

No Steven to play with.  

It's shocking how expensive ice cream is now.  Some bars are $8!

It was a quiet day.  The ocean was too cold.  We just sat around.  

Grandpop joined us.  

Eli tried to make us rich,

He found a boat!

Over to my dad's.  

We watched the first half of the World Cup final game at the Meadowlands.  

Then we went to Dooney's Pub to to watch the second half and have dinner.  We saw Spain beat Argentina.  

While we drove home, we got some camp pics.  Looks like they were playing hockey.  

 

Power Washing

Last Saturday, I got up early and started power washing my house.  It needed to be done but the lowest quote we got was $800 so I figured I would do it myself.  Amy's dad let me borrow his washer.  I worked at it for a while.  

Amy's dad came by and took over!  

We had a fan club watching us.  

Melissa took Ariel's bike for a ride.  

Mark then took over.  The house looked good at the end and we saved $800!

Amy found a bernadoodle.  

We took the twins to look for new bikes.  

There wasn't much for their size.  

We went to a new Mexican place next door.  The food was great and Noah loved their giant soccer ball.  

There was a fish store nearby.  We checked out the fish.  

Nemo and Dori!

Melissa, Abby Amy's mom and Julia came to play mah jong.  

I took the twins to my dad's.

We swam.  

Bocca for dinner.  That was some crazy pizza.  

Thunderstorm!

I met Dave and Julia at Maynards with a bunch of 19 year olds with fake ids!  

We had fun hanging out till late.  

 

Canadian Smoke

Last Thursday, the smoke from the Canadian wildfires really arrived.  The air quality was awful.  You could barely see the sun.

The boys wild watching something.  

Pics from camp.  

We played Monopoly that night.  

Amy was the big winner!

I went with Aden to film another scene from his movie.  It was my death scene!  This was my view laying on the ground outside.  

The actor dude was huge.  He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.  He carried me to the grass and dug a hole to bury me!

Last Friday, the air was still really bad.  

You could see the smoke.

Camp pics.  

Wonder why they were so dressed up.  

We went to the shore a bit earlier than usual.  Traffic was bad so we drove through the Pinelands of New Jersey.  

We picked up food from Betty's for dinner.  

Yummy barbecue.

Honey came to visit.  

Have a great weekend!
