The Music Man

It's Wednesday night and I'm tired and sore from playing roller hockey!  I'm going to get through this fast so I can go to bed.  It was so hot last week!

Ariel flying at camp.  

Last Tuesday, we had piano and guitar.  

Then we made a fort.  

Last Wednesday, Amy, Aden, Melissa, Clarisse and I went to New York City for the day!  We were going to take a really early train so we had time to shop but it was cancelled.  

I had heard that New York was not so great since COVID but it was just as I remembered it.  Lively and fun.  

It was super hot but we walked the 2 miles to 55th street for lunch.  Right through Times Square.  

It was nice to sit in the ac at Serafina.  

Yum.  

Aden and I hit the m & M store.  He really enjoyed it there.  

Then it was showtime.  We were seeing Hugh Jackman in the revival of the Music Man.  

It was a great show!

Hugh and his co star even broke character a few times and couldn't stop laughing.  They were having so much fun on stage.  

The theater was from 1912!

We walked back to the station and waited forever in heat as several trains were cancelled.  We finally got on a super local that took forever and the train was also hot so it was not a fun ride but it was still a great day overall.  

 

SSDC Visiting Day

It's Tuesday night.  We had a break from the heat!  It was actually chilly today!  Last Monday, we got this pic of Ariel from the camp.  

Then we got this pic of Ariel from our friend that was touring the camp.  

Well overnight camp did not have a visiting day but day camp sure did.  

I went in the morning when the twins were at theater class.  

I ran into Aden.  

Instructional swim.  

Some of the activities around camp.  

Who is that in the boat?  

It's Aden!

New climbing wall.  

Then the boys had nature.  

That's Luke with a snake.  

Noah stayed away from the animals and drew pictures.  

Eli got a little closer but didn't touch.  

Even Ali touched the dragon.  

Is that a slug on Nate?  

Bye boys!

I was with Ali, Amy went another day.  

That night, I got my rollerblades back on.  I have a roller hockey game coming soon and I wanted to practice. I did not do very well.  

I got 2 racks of beef ribs to smoke.  You don't know how excited I am to smoke these.  This is the pinnacle of cooking I think.  

The ribs came packed on dry ice.  I put the dry ice in a bag and this happened!

The twins for scared and ran out of the room.  I poked the bag and the air let out.  Not that exciting.  

Then we put the dry ice in warm water.  

Wow!  Cool!

Adding soap was fun too.
