First Day of School!

Last Monday was the first day of school! Ariel was the first out the door at 7 am.  She looks so old!
Eden and Fionna came over early.  Ariel had Starbucks delivered.  They got ready together.  
Here we go!  High schoolers!
Gwen and Eva also headed to school.  

We walked the twins up to school at 8:50.  
Everyone was gathering.
Last year's teacher is this year's teacher!
The twins were excited.  
So each class had a balloon to gather around.  

Until Amy bumped into the 6 and it got loose!
The 6th graders all gathered.  There are 3 classes.  


The boys had a great day!
That afternoon, Ariel had her first cheer game.  This was the first time we saw her in her uniform.  
The girls stretched.  
Here we go!

Go JV Football!


Our little cheerleader.  


Her besties.
Go Fi!
The girls had fun!  What a long day!

The Day Before School

Last Sunday, I went to Wawa to get breakfast for everyone.  I've been wearing an AI device that records my day and gives it recaps it in cartoon form!  This is what it thought of my trip to Wawa.  I will share more of these pictures and tell you more about the drvice over time.  
I met Renee and Sam and went for a walk on the Ventnor Boardwalk.  
This is what my device thought of that!
We had a nice long walk.  The weather was great.  
It was nice hanging with them but it was time for them to drive back to Maryland.  
Ariel loved being with her camp friends.  
My dad and Noah worked on Legos.  
I love these cartoons!
Bye girls!  
We drove home too.  Eli found a new friend.  
The very hungry caterpillar.  

Ariel organized her school stuff.  She started to get nervous about her first day of high school.  
Eli grabbed neighbor kids and set up the fire pit to make smores.

Nothing like smores.  
They even cheered up Ariel.  
We worked hard to get the kids to bed early for the first day of school!

Air Supply

Hello.  I'm not sure why the pictures seem fuzzy.  If you click them, you can see them clearly.  I will work on that.  Last Saturday, Amy and I took a walk with Renee and Sam from Maryland.  
They were wowed by all the landscaping.  

We went to the beach.  
Eli did not want to go in the water.  

It was a beautiful day.  
He just dug a hole.  

The coffee lady showed Eli how it all works.  
The boys had Stven to play with.  

We stayed out a while.
Ariel was thrilled to be with her friends.  


Love them!

Pool time.  
Eli went to dinner with neighbors.  Eli went to see a play with Amy's parents.  
Then they went to golf.  

That night, Amy and I joined Dave and Julia and Mike and Jenna at the Hard Rock Casino to see Air Supply!
At first we sat in the back.  They were great!
We knew almost all the songs.  
Then we moved up to the front.  


We had such a good time singing along. 
Awesome!
We headed back then went to Memories to keep the night going.  
So much fun!




Crazy line to get in when we were leaving.  
The girls were up when we got home.
